@QasimRashid@mastodon.social The "youthful indiscretion" ploy is not new: it was used during Bill Clinton's impeachment hearings by Henry Hyde, who was the chief House Manager (the guy responsible for prosecuting it). At the time of his "youthful indiscretion", Hyde was 41 years old. Maybe "youthful" is relative given Hyde's age during Clinton's impeachment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Hyde#Extramarital_affair
