<<How about "forgive thy brother seven times seven times">>

Clinton has used up his 49 forgivenesses a long time ago. How many chances do you give someone? At any rate, forgiveness has nothing to do with this either. Clinton did something wrong - he has to face the consequences. It doesn't matter how many times you forgive someone, they still have to face the consequences.

"Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's"

That includes the administration of the law. Unless you are advocating repeal of the penal codes.

Jesus advocated forgiveness but also commanded us to obey the civil authorities.

Penance:

A means of repairing a sin committed, and obtaining pardon for it,
consisting partly in the performance of expiatory rites, partly in
voluntary submission to a punishment corresponding to the
transgression. Penance is the fourth of seven sacraments in the
Roman Catholic Church.
