I would disagree, Monica did use this to profit herself. She got a book deal out of this whole thing.
Monica Lewinsky, the former White House intern whose affair with then-President Bill Clinton paralyzed the nation, has been shopping a memoir for...
slate.com
12 million is not struggling. I would say that's a pretty sweet deal for semen on a dress.
Also she got a movie deal too:
Lewinsky says Ryan Murphy’s dedication to “giving a voice to the marginalized” persuaded her to sign on to his series exploring the investigation of Bill Clinton.

and a docuseries:
Lewinsky opened up about relationship with Bill Clinton in 20 hours of interviews for A&E’s The Clinton Affair
www.theguardian.com
Also Republicans have skeletons in their closets too.
Henry Hyde, Republican Chair of the
House Judiciary Committee and
lead House manager, also had an affair while in office as a
state legislator. Hyde, aged 70 during the Lewinsky hearings, dismissed it as a "youthful indiscretion" (he had been 41).

Bob Livingston Republican congressman had been widely expected to become
Speaker of the United States House of Representatives in the
next Congressional session.
[51] Then just weeks away after Flynt revealed the affair, Livingston resigned and challenged Clinton to do the same.
Bob Barr (R-GA) another Republican House manager, had an affair while married. Barr had been the first lawmaker in either chamber to call for Clinton's resignation due to the Lewinsky affair. Barr lost a primary challenge less than three years after the impeachment proceedings.
[52]
Dan Burton (R-IN) said, "No one, regardless of what party they serve, no one, regardless of what branch of government they serve, should be allowed to get away with these alleged sexual improprieties ..."
[53] In 1998, Burton admitted that he himself had had an affair in 1983 which produced a child.
[54]
Newt Gingrich (R-GA) US Representative, Speaker of the House and leader of the
Republican Revolution of 1994,
[55] admitted in 1998 to having had an affair with then House Agriculture Committee staffer
Callista Bisek while he was still married to his second wife,
[56] at the same time as he was leading the impeachment of Bill Clinton for perjury regarding an affair with intern Monica Lewinsky.
[57][58]
Steven C. LaTourette (R-OH) US Representative, voted to impeach Bill Clinton for the
Lewinsky scandal while he himself, was having a long-term affair with his Chief of Staff, Jennifer Laptook. (2003)
[59]
Republican
Helen Chenoweth-Hage from Idaho aggressively called for the resignation of President Clinton and then admitted to her own six-year affair with a married rancher during the 1980s.
[60]
Clinton didn't "get away" with it. Everyone knew the truth when it happened, that's what made it a joke. Rather, it was when
people associated with the case started dying was when things changed and the American public began to feel uncomfortable with the other side of the Clintons. We started hearing more about Clinton's Arkansas dealings and the silencing of other people associated with Bill Clinton. It was the beginning of the term
Arkencide.
LMAO it's no wonder with all the affairs going on in the 90's American Government got anything of use done.
