Shit does happen, and some payment must be made.

But Clinton never used or paid her off as shamelessly as Slobfather.

4. I was really mad at Clinton at the time. He was the most powerful man in the world and he couldn't

stop Monica from coming into his office? He knew what the consequences could have been and he could have stopped it. The repukes were out for blood and he knew it.

5. It's not about Chump's dalliances with porn stars

It was never about that, personally I could care less who he hangs out with. It was always about the way he spent his campaign contributions which are legally mandated to be used for campaign expenses and nothing else.

Remember John Edwards, the NC Democrat who ran for the presidency in 2008, until it was discovered that he had a mistress "on the side" and he supported her with campaign funds? Edwards went to prison for doing exactly that, and it wasn't because of the mistress. It was due to his misuse of campaign contributions, and you can be sure the Repukes in North Carolina threw the book at him.

John Edwards is the true corollary to the Chump lies and secret payments to porn stars. Let's stop talking about Bill Clinton because there's no comparison. John Edwards faced the music, he was charged and convicted. His political career has been over since 2008. So why does Chump think he can still run for anything?

6. of all the inconsistencies between how things were handled, this may have been the most egregious

the right's rabid call for Clinton was removed from office stemmed from Clinton committing perjury. Clinton gave a deposition under oath. Trump of course did not. His lawyers would not "allow" him to do so. Nice huh. And of course we all know WHY they would not allow him to do so.

And of course Hillary testified endlessly regarding Benghazi. As per republican insistence.

All part and parcel to the glaring evidence that democrats have to play by an entirely different set of rules. For whatever reason.
