A series of scandals relating to Bill Clinton are presented here in that documentary series. The documentary series begins with the appointment of an independent adviser by Bill Clinton to investigate irregularities following the suicide of White House adviser Vince Foster. On the other hand, Republicans control the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years led by a new group of politicians such as Newt Gingrich.
This docuseries is a step forward; it uses the tools of the historian, patiently working the facts of a still-familiar story to draw out its portrait of a moment.
"The Clinton Affair" effectively conveys that what transpired 20 years ago isn't mere history; rather, the ripples are still being very much felt today.
Listening to the audio of phone conversations between Tripp and Goldberg, or Tripp and the various FBI agents assisting her with ensnaring Lewinsky, is painful.
Highly watchable and skillfully told, "The Clinton Affair" is otherwise without perspective or insight. What did it all mean? Don't come here for answers.
