He lied about consensual sex at a deposition for a civil lawsuit. It is pretty unheard of for a person to get charged with perjury under those situations. He was never charged with a crime and it had nothing to do with his Presidential duties.
If he had settled the lawsuit with Paula Jones earlier we would have never heard of Monica Lewinsky. But it was almost impossible to settle early because Jones was being coached by a team of anti-Clinton political operatives. Paula never got anything extra by holding out longer, but the anti-Clinton group got a lot of what they wanted. Clinton had nothing to lose by settling with Jones because he had already admitted marital indiscretions with Jennifer Flowers.
