I suspect Clinton wanted the Republicans to impeach. The Monica Lewinsky affair was a setup. I doubt she was in on it, but suspect Linda Tripp was. They knew he would not get tossed from office for a blowjob, and the affair diverted attention from all other Clinton wrongdoing. And Soros was ready at the end to jump in with "Move On", which subsequently became a major pusher of "online activism".
If I'm right, they KNOW the Lewinsky affair was a trap, and suspect Trump knows, and they suspect he is playing their game. But I think he is again multiple moves ahead, and will strike far sooner than they think.
