The Constitution talks about 'high crimes and misdemeanors', a concept descended from English common law that high officials can and must be held to a higher standard than ordinary citizens.

Quote:
The charge of high crimes and misdemeanors covers allegations of misconduct peculiar to officials, such as perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery, intimidation, misuse of assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, conduct unbecoming, and refusal to obey a lawful order.
There can be no doubt that Clinton was guilty of abuse of authority and conduct unbecoming, and probably intimidation. Nothing done by any other president at any time, no matter how we judge it today, absolves Clinton of guilt.

The weird part none of his supporters that I know lowered their opinion of him after that incident.
It gets worse - Now billdo is jet setting with a convicted pedophile around the world in an aeronautical version of the love boat to far off locations Asia. Still not a peep from the left. I pray someone has some video.

It was the freaking President of the Untied States getting interns to blow him in the Oval Office.

He should have been removed from office and SHOT.
The man is a disgusting piece of garbage.
I eagerly await reading his obituary so I can throw a huge party to celebrate the improvement of the species. He is Chester the Molester in the real world.
The man has zero honor or integrity, let alone no morality.

The most worthless man alive.

And Hillary's being untrustworthy and corrupt will not effect her nonexistent leadership.

Not excusing Billy Boy,just keeping things in perspective.
You just compared incidents 200 years apart, if that isn't nonsense I don't know what is. I will give you credit for a new way of ridiculous thinking, the most common excuse for Bill's misdeeds from my Democratic friends is "He is only human.", not Washington owned slaves. I guess my loser nephew doing 2-5 for attempted strangulation of the mother of his bastard child, isn't so bad because Ted Bundy murdered 30 women.

We all know quite a lot of women are mesmerized by men with money and or power regardless of what they look like or how they act. Bill Clinton while immoral isn't stupid, he took advantage of that. We are talking the president of the United States having sex with groupies where his wife and child live, not some pro athlete with an 8th grade education doing it.

There lies the major malfunction of the left. Moral values don't mean shit as long as you can bark and carry a big stick. It's bored out a rotten hole right into the very core of this country's future. Moral fiber decays to the point where nothing else much matters anymore because people are no longer happy. You can see it everywhere already if you're not blind, clueless, and for the most part the cause of it all. It's sickening.

Another example of guilt by association. And your timeline is off. This is not something that is happening now. The flights took place in the early 2000's. When the allegations against Epstein surfaced in 2005, Clinton immediately severed all contact.

I'd prefer if Trump would win today, but I didn't think Bill Clinton was a bad president back then. His sex life didn't matter to me.

What matters is getting the job done right.

I don't believe Hillary Clinton has anywhere near the same logic and reasoning skills as Bill though.

Let me help you out Most...

"I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,'' Trump told New York Magazine back in 2002. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life."
