The ties between the sexual offenses and the Whitewater case and all of the other scandals can be summed up in one word - perjury. It is NOT all about sex, it is about blatently lying to the American people on National TV and committing perjury in a court of law time and time again. As I pointed out, Bill Clinton was fined a couple of times (Judge Susan Webber Wright formally fined Clinton over $90,000 for Contempt of Court as well as the previously mentioned fine) and lost his license as a result. He basically made a last minute plea agreement with Ray, which may not be an actual criminal conviction, but it was definitely an admission of guilt and punishment for that guilt.

There were many reasons why he was not convicted:

The FBI has destroyed evidence he had against Bill Clinton

Robert Fiske's report on Whitewater was "deep sixed" by a court The blackmail of Janet Reno

A D.C. Chief Federal Judge "fixed" cases, bypassing established rules

Smears on accusers and Clinton's sexual scorched-earth plan

Wake up son...it is not merely about blow jobs.

All of which may be true. Once again, people on here seem to think that somehow, stating that financial scandals had nothing to do with what Clinton was impeached for is equivalent to stating that I defend/justify what Clinton did. They also seem to think that stating that he wasn't convicted of any crimes (unless the plea bargain that ended up with a $25,000 fine and suspension of his law license counts as such) means I think he didn't commit any. There's a reason why courts declare people "not guilty" instead of "innocent". I, at least, understand the distinction.
