I think I see a pattern here.
Nixon: I am not a crook.
Clinton: I never had sex with that woman
Trump: I never worked for Russia
you see a pattern with nixon and trump because nixon SHOULD have been asked what he was asked and trump SHOULD be asked what he's being asked, but clinton's consensual sex, unsavory though it might have been was nobody's business but his, monica's and hillary's. why wasn't fdr asked? how about eisenhower, jfk or bush the elder? they all had extramarital affairs. it wasn't the nation's business. congress never asked. clinton should not have been asked either. i don't say this because he's a democrat. i say this because his indiscretion had nothing whatsoever to do with the fate of the nation.

The point is they all blatantly and forcefully lied to the American people. I have no problem with Clinton's (or Trump's) extramarital excursions but I think they both abused our trust.
@jerry99 i disagree, for the reasons stated above. clinton's lie was about something that was none of our damned business and he shouldn't have been asked. he didn't just volunteer "hey by the way i'm not having sex with anyone but my wife." he was asked inappropriately by people who had it out for him, and yeah, he blew it, but lying to the american people? as i say, it was none of our business, and none of congress' business. blatantly and forcefully? how about blatantly and forcefully butting into something not in their purview and not in ours? it's our business when people commit treason. it's not our business when people commit adultery unless we're involved in it.
