My idea is essentially this, as per historical reality, President Clinton has an affair with his intern, Monica Lewinsky, and that affair is somehow exposed in the media in his second term. However, in this alternate reality, the Paula Jones lawsuit never came to be, for whatever reason. Now I know there might be plausibility issues due to the passionate intensity of the more obsessed of the Clinton haters on the right, but for the moment let's imagine that the Paula Jones v. Clinton suit, and any similar lawsuit, simply never comes to be. How would this alternate "Lewinsky Scandal" play out? Or is the whole idea of Lewinsky's affair with Bill Clinton being exposed between 1997-1999 without a harassment lawsuit totally out of the question. Basically I'm wondering what would happen if Clinton's affair becomes public knowledge, but the affair is not even theoretical grounds for impeachment. Since he's never in a legal setting Clinton's denials could never be construed as perjury, because he's never actually under oath on the matter.
