Bill Clinton just lied about an affair. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/oct/02/duncancampbell

These idiots used their law licenses to bring multiple frivolous "voter fraud" lawsuits, perpetrating their own fraud upon the courts of this country by claiming, falsely and without evidence, that there was widespread voter fraud in this country in the 2020 presidential election. And they did this not for purposes of hiding a private sexual affair, but in order to subvert our democracy and disenfranchise 20 million American voters, disproportionately people of color.
