Clinton paid over $800k to settle the suit, which he should have in the first place, and $90k as a fine for his perjurious contempt of court. Paula Jones, whether or not she had won, had a right to her day in court. Who helped her get that day in court is irrelevant. Judges decided what was admissable up and down the line. You do not have a leg to stand on.......

You are delusional.

The issues were perjury, affirmatively lying to the American people, coaching witnesses, submitting and vouching for false affidavits in a Court, abuse of office, violation of oath of office. Sex was not relevant.

Let's look at the facts.

He lied and admitted it.
He was impeached.
He settled with P. Jones for $850,000.00
He was fined $90,000.00 and held in contempt for misleading a Court.
He is currently embroiled in disbarment proceedings.
He will be indicted when he leaves office.

The motivations of his enemies are irrelevant. If there was nothing to uncover, the matter would never have gone as far as it did. Clinton asserted numerous specious executive privileges, failed to cooperate in the investigation and lost all legal challenges to stop the proceedings. Once the Supremes gave the go ahead for the suit, Clinton (as any other citizen) was bound to play by the rules. He did not. He lied and tried to cheat P. Jones out of the benefit of her day in Court. He used the power of his office to try to cover his own sorry, lying ass. He used his friends and family to further his coverup. He cost the US Treasury unnecessary millions.

Clinton is unfit for the office, no doubt about it.
