In reply to the discussion: Ari Melber on MSNBC shows Bill Clinton saying he did not have sex [View all]planetc
(8,818 posts)The definition he was using was the one supplied by the guidelines sent by the judge in the Paula Jones case of what constituted sexual relations, and those guidelines required vaginal penetration. Mr. Clinton followed the directions given him by the judge. So Mr. Clinton was telling the truth while misleading people. There was a sexual relationship, but no "sexual relations." At the time, many of us felt that he and Ms Lewinski had every right to keep their relationship private. But by the time the "secret" grand jury had evidence that Mr. Clinton's and Ms Lewinsky's affidavits contradicted each other, the media were in full feeding frenzy, and so to this day, nobody quite knows why he was impeached. Just as they don't quite know how the Whitewater investigation came out.
