Did she, as a 23-year old, have a history of going after the most powerful men in the world?

You are showing an alarming ignorance of the sexual harassment statute.

You really don't understand the term sexual harassment. Look it up. That's not what was going on between Lewinsky and Clinton.
Actually, I do understand it. You do not. He created a sexually hostile work environment for all other women that worked for him.

According to the law, it does matter.

Are you talking about criminal law or civil law? I'm not aware of anyone ever indicating that any criminal law was violated when Clinton banged Monica with a cigar tube and spooged on her dress.

Yes, that's what misogynist Rs would have us believe. However, Lewinsky had a history of going after older, married men. To her, Clinton was a catch. And she wasn't an innocent farm girl...............she grew up in big city LA.

That sounds like the excuse that the pedophile makes to justify his actions ("she seduced me and she was willing). It was his job as the most powerful man in the world to say to himself "this is a young girl who is infatuated, if I am going to cheat on my wife, I should stick to women who are closer to my age and station in life".

Most Powerful Man in the World, Twice her age<------->23 year old intern who works for POTUS
That is the most extreme example of a power differential that you could come up with and he violated it.

I never said it wasn't wrong. It was wrong of both of them to cheat on Hillary Clinton.

Monica didn't have a commitment to Hillary. Bill Clinton did. Monica didn't cheat on Hillary, she was single and available. Bill cheated on his wife. And he destroyed the life of the young girl with whom he cheated. Bill Clinton is slime.

oh, and he lied to congress about his affair with Monica.
