It was 20 years ago this month that the House of Representatives impeached President Bill Clinton.
At the start of the year, January 17, 1998, Clinton had given a sworn deposition flatly denying a “sexual relationship,” “sexual affair,” or “sexual relations” with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
“Now, I have to go back to work on my State of the Union speech. And I worked on it until pretty late last night. But I want to say one thing to the American people.”
He almost looked like he was telling the truth. I remember it like yesterday.
This account of Hillary is far from atypical.
“We lied for him and helped him cheat on his wife,” said Patterson of Bill Clinton, “and he treated us like dogs.”
The first sexual encounter took place on the same day that Clinton signed a “Family Week” proclamation.
Another infamous episode unfolded on Easter Sunday, April 7, 1996. After Bill spent the morning at church, he headed back to the White House. He was in the Oval Office all afternoon, from 2:21 to 7:48 PM.
