>"I never had sexual relations with that woman".
And he was impeached for that, which is exactly the point.
- ThomPete 10y agoNo that is not the point. The point is that politicians lie and always have lied also historically.
- aninhumer 10y agoYes they always lied, but they used to be punished if they were caught. The fact that it's easier to catch them now shouldn't change that.
- ThomPete 10y agoNo they didn't use to get punished anymore than they do today and I would urge you to find any base for that claim. Nothing's changed.
- coldtea 10y agoImpeached just means they accused/questioned him about it. He remained President just fine, and was acquitted of the charges.
- Chris2048 10y agoDidn't he lose a law license or something as well?
- coldtea 10y agoAs if he was gonna practice after 2 terms as President? Besides the question was whether truth mattered more in politics. The decision to take his law license was from some state bar, not related to some political process.
