In simple terms.....NO.
It was basically a case where he got stupid.....getting oral sex from some intern, and some people figured you could build some case up which depended upon a Q and A session where you were under oath. If he had any 'wit' or legal knowledge....he would have said that he had no requirement to make a statement under oath.....about sex.
While all of this was going on....then it kinda fell into the news business that Bill had sexed up with more than eight different women. Did it really matter? No. Had Hillary Clinton been a normal wife (like VP Gore's wife).....then things would have been different, and Hillary would have walked out (like Gore's wife).
The Republicans in this case? They never really expected a conviction, and this was more about weakening Bill Clinton for historical reasons.
The comical side of this....which people seem to forget? This started on the 19th of December, and virtually the entire Senate was forced to skip Christmas holidays for that year (it didn't officially end until 12 Feb the next year.
Why Hillary didn't leave? I think she considered Bill as the golden-ticket for her arriving in 2008, and gaining the Presidency. If you felt Bill was wonderful....you'd be all thrilled for Hillary. I know....it's silly but this was logical in the 1990s.
Here we are, twenty years, and it's payback time. And the odds that some Democrat will face impeachment around 2035 to 2040? I'd give it a 99-percent chance.
All of this should bring you back and wondering about JFK, Roosevelt, Hoover, and a dozen-odd Presidents from the past, and if they could survive a impeachment like this?
