But speaking of Clinton, he got caught lying about something silly, didn't he?
Sure, millions of times.
But that's not why he was impeached.
He was impeached for, among other actions such as contempt of court and obstruction of justice, committing perjury.
He was lying under oath in a judicial proceeding in an attempt to deprive one of his victims of her right to damages. Call that "silly," if you want, but it aint.
Perjury is often punishable by 5 years in the big house. Clinton was able to "settle" his criminal case for a $90,000 fine--kinda "silly," eh? Of course his license to practice law was also revoked.
