Why in the hell is the Clinton/Lewinsky affair big news today? [View all]

Did he screw up? Yes, he did. Should he have exercised better self control? Of course he should have.

It has been 20 years, he was impeached for lying about the affair and made a public apology at the time. Why do we need to go back and revisit that whole episode now and conclude that it wasn't enough? He's not running for office and he's not been accused of any recent sexual misconduct.

This is nothing more than a distraction to steer the conversation away from the Mueller investigation and Trump's authoritarian statements. The closer Mueller gets to Trump, the more smokescreens they are going to throw out there. They want to change the subject and, if possible, create dissent in the Democratic party. As we approach the 2018 election were going to see even more of this.
