Or perhaps it's just your misread/mischaracterization of the article. Clinton "admitted he made a "terrible moral error" by having an affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky."

The affair was a "terrible moral error." Not the scandal. He wasn't talking about the scandal. Or the impeachment.

Indeed, he was apparently quite aggressive about the ensuing impeachment debacle:

"I didn't quit, I never thought of resigning, and I stood up to it and beat it back. The whole battle was a badge of honor. I don't see it as a stain, because it was illegitimate."

The implications is that legally he did nothing wrong. That's my problem with it. And his statement regarding impeachment only bolsters that. In effect, he is saying, "yes it was morally wrong, but I wouldn't quit because it wasn't legally wrong."
