Clinton obviously abused his power (he has said this much) with regard to Lewinsky. The question of whether it ought to be a crime, well, that's a different question. The world is full of criminals who obtain power and use it inappropriately. That, in fact, is what a criminal does -- whether it is a rapist, a murderer, bankrobber, or dope dealer. It is all about abusing power in some form or another. The thing that separates a powerful criminal from other powerful people is that non-criminals use the power ethically, morally, and legally. Clinton failed on two of these grounds.
