With this, Bill Clinton is remove from office, and is sent to jail. Al Gore becomes the 43nd President of the United States. How well does he do? Would he be able to reelection over Bush, or whoever wins the republican nomination for 2000?
Gingrich was jealous duh.
Only obvious way is if Lewinsky accuses him of sexual assault and hes found guilty.Why would he go to jail over a blowjob? WTF?
Perjury is indeed a crime. Adultery is a crime with a 10 dollar fine in most states for divorce court reasons.Why would he go to jail over a blowjob? WTF?
Obviously, but keep in mind that OTL, there was a heavily moralistic urge in the GOP base around this time. The late 90s saw quite a few cultural changes that led to serious backlash from people who weren't comfortable about it.It means that the Republicans will bang the morality drum all the harder (phrasing),
leading to howls of mirth from the Democrats whenever a Republican gets caught with
his pants down. Kinda like the Tories with that Back to Basics nonsense.

If William Jefferson Clinton is indicted for Perjury ( in this case it would be lying to Federal officials and a Grand Jury) then the Democrats in the Senate might have to vote to impeach, President Clinton would be facing a legal trial and if the Democrats were to stand any chance of winning in 2000 Clinton had to go. As for Pardoning him President Gore could do that but there was bound to be a back lash against Gore when he ran as there was with Ford when he ran.
Right, but Watergate was a scandal. The Lewinsky affair was practically nothing. I'm sure plenty of presidents had affairs. FDR did, JFK did, etc. It's not going to happen. The public saw it as a joke, and if the Republicans under Gingrich somehow are able to do this, they'll lose SO much support, it won't even be funny.
The other way for it to actually be a scandal would be if instead of Lewinsky it was an intern who was marginally under 18.
Or, as was used as a POD here once, have it be more than a blowjob and Lewinsky get pregnant.
The former is very illegal, and the second isnt illegal but is scandalous. Especially if she has an abortion.
