personally i think we can learn nothing from her i believe she was approached to re do this thing but sour grape loser republicans whose impeachment backfired and Clinton and Hilary are as popular as ever now they think she's going to run 2016 they are trying to get the hump and define her and her baggage,  Bill to muddy your view, they have no contender worth the effort so to again attempt to tilt the field they are starting early.  they did not learn that what they put Pres. through they also put themselves through, they are labeled the do nothing congress of all time because they were to bust trying to derail Pres. they will fall into that same trap of their own making by trying the same thing with Hilary, if she is smart she will get a group to go after every point of all the dirt on their side with video proof and continue her campaign above the fray with soundbites here and there for that extra added ump to punch.
Lewinsky fielded this question in 2001, while filming the town hall–style HBO documentary Monica in Black and White. Her participation, she writes, was an attempt to “shift the focus” away from rehashing the salacious details of her sexual relationship with President Clinton and on to “meaningful issues” like “the balance of power and gender inequality in politics and media.” Attendees had other ideas. Having your identity reduced to a sex act feels “hurtful and insulting,” Lewinsky replied at the time.
 “I don’t actually know why this whole story became about oral sex. … The fact that it did is maybe a result of a male-dominated society.” As for why Americans became obsessed with Lewinsky’s sexuality in 1998, Lewinsky deferred to her male questioner. “You might be better poised to answer that,” she said.

the right is trying to hold her up as to poor gullible one taken advantage of by big bad Bill, thing is she was in this too every picture and video showed her smiling when around him, she gave up the blow job with a smile too i bet, when she found out she was not Olivia Pope and he was not Pres. Fitzgearld  and with propping up by Linda Tripp, now there must be someone on the right instigating this, she is a very gullible person to get sucked into a rehash that will only make her look bad looking for 15 mins.

unless Clinton forced her head and threatened her she was willing and obviously able i don't see taking advantage of when you are a willing participant looking to be a groupie with benefits.
