Clinton was charged with lying under oath, obstruction of justice, and abuse of power. The first and second charges were approved while the third was rejected. He was only found guilty of the obstruction charge.

The behavior of Ken Starr in this case was abhorrent. In my eyes, there was a degree of witness intimidation going on in this case.

Ironically, this SCOTUS ruling would have blocked Clinton's impeachment because Ken Starr was an Independent Counsel, which SCOTUS ruled cannot be used in such matters.

Which were none of the things he was initially accused of or investigated for. Ain't that funny
