    So the articles of impeachment were drawn up after Clinton lied during a deposition during pretrial discovery for a sexual harassment case brought upon Clinton by Paula Jones.

    The reason why Lewinsky was even brought up was because she was mentioned in the Starr report which was a report prepared for the house judiciary committee by independent counsel Ken Starr.

    Ken Starr was appointed by Janet Reno, I think, originally to investigate the Clinton’s dealings with the Whitewater Land Company.

    So if you connect all the red string the investigation was a real estate one that led to him lying about a blowjob.

      It was a political witch hunt. Iirc there wasn’t anything wrong with the whitewater deal but they went ahead and paid the few thousand in taxes anyway
