This investigation was just one in a series of investigations into Clinton in which there were almost 20 convictions and would have been more for the myriad scandals. They just happened to nail Clinton for this particular case because Clinton's ego got the better of him in trying to cover up and again in the "admission" speech. If a 21-year old non-lawyer type with loose lips was involved in those other scandals, they would likely have been in prison already.

The Lewinsky case is more analogous to the tax evasion case for Al Capone and the civil trial for OJ Simpson. They got the accountant to talk in the Capone case, and they got OJ to talk in the civil trial.
