| 27. Very good, Garbo. This is exactly what I sought. |

I was surprised to see so many responses so quickly, and some others besides you have focused on legal distinction as you have. And there might be other laws that have bearing.
It's just a matter of time before I and others here have to react to a claim that what Clinton did was just as bad since Lewinsky and the pages were older than the age of consent. More importantly, I needed to sort this out in my own mind. I understand now.

Even if the sex was technically legal, this is clear sexual harassment |
