Speaking of that, didn't they get all the BS started when they took it upon themselves to pry into his personal life and try to make it an issue before he lied?

No, that is actually not what happened unless by "they," you mean Paula Corbin Jones. Jones had sued Clinton on Jones filed a sexual harassment suit against Clinton on 5/6/94.

After Clinton's army of lawyers successfully denied Jones her day in court until the U. S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Jones had the right to sue a sitting president on 1/13/97. On 11/13/98, Clinton agreed to settle the case with Jones for $850,000. In April, 1999, Clinton was found guilty of civil contempt of court and ordered to pay a fine of $90,000. The judge also contacted the Arkansas Bar about Clinton's disgraceful conduct in her presence. On 1/19/01, Clinton signed an agreement with the Arkansas Bar Association that stripped him of his license to practice law for 5 years.

BTW, it is also worth noting that the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal did not become known to the public until 1998.

I love how liberals always try to revise history by claiming that Clinton was impeached over sex, which they regard a private matter, unless the scandal involves a Republican. While it is true that other women besides Jones accused Clinton of groping them, sexual harassment, and rape, and it is true that he was rightly criticized and ridiculed by Republicans and Democrats over the Lewinsky affair - he was impeached because he lied under oath in the presence of a federal judge.
