No, they tried to impeach him. They were just looking for any angle to do it with. They assigned an open ended special prosecution to find something, anything they could use and Clinton decided to perjure himself on it. It wasn't noble
Listen, I'm not saying Clinton wasn't rad as a president -- he was -- but I'd also say him cheating on his wife wasn't very "noble", either. Nor was lying about it on TV to the entire country after getting caught.
Yeah, I know, it's Hillary, but still not a cool thing to do.
From that perspective i found it insane that she stayed with him and then tried to become president herself. Gal, you sucked it up to your cheating husband, because of your power greed. This is a red flag larger than at the Sowjet parades.
I think the abuse of power dynamic was the worst part.
To be clear, for anyone too young to remember, he WAS impeached for 2 reasons: lying under oath and obstruction of justice.
