>Because it was an intern, not just any civilian. It was an abuse of his position of power. That is what makes it a problem for the office and respect for him, but the real legal problem and impeachable action in my opinion will always being his lying under oath. It doesn't matter WHAT he lied about, the act of lying under oath period is the problem. There is no getting around that.

Current president is getting around it. He never speaks under oath.

Anyway, how did Clinton get into the situation where he had to speak under oath? By a multi-million legal campaign. Not that he didn't help paint himself into that corner, but a lot of paint came from the other side of the aisle. And nobody can prove today that the honey for the trap did (or didn't) come from the same sources.
