Thanks for the rant, but like all of the liberal pundits running interference in
the press for Clinton, you are completely missing or ignoring why this is such a
big deal: He is covering it up, lying about it to the special prosecutor, to
congress, and the American people. He apparently also has commited obstruction of
justice, in trying to get the girl to not say anything. Thats called interfering
with a witness, and is a felony. Lying about whether or not he did that is also an
offense. I personally don't care if he lines them up 20 deep every day for a romp
on the oval office couch. That is the least of his offences. If he did that with
his campaign contributors, they'd at least be getting a service a bit more than one
night on a lumpy 150 year old haunted bed
