The ultimate blame for Bill Clinton's impeachment was not that he did what he did with Monica Lewinsky; it was that he lied about it under oath, and DNA testing on his semen stains on Monica's blue dress proved his downfall.
But if Ken Starr had not resumed his almost completed investigation when those Rose billing records turned up 2 years after the subpoena, it's quite likely that Hillary's Bimbo Eruption Squad could have contained/silenced any issues with Monica and there would have been no impeachment.
I wouldn't say Hillary is to blame for Bill's impeachment. But her stubborn refusal to honor a subpoena created the circumstances under which Bill lied under oath.
What a lovely couple!
