Yesterday, actually.
On Dec. 19, 1998, the-President Bill Cinton was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives, for deliberately lying to a grand jury about his affairs and sexual harassment of Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky, and for willfully obstructing justice and concealing evidence in a lawsuit brought against him by Jones. The House found that these acts rose to the level of an impeachable offense, and approved two articles of impeachment.

Later the Senate convened as a trial court as required by the Constitution. But Senate Democrats evaded their Constitutional duty to decide whether Clinton had actually committed the acts. Instead, they usurped the House duty and simply decided that the acts did not rise to a level of an "impeachable offense", and so voted "Not Guilty" on a straight party-line vote.
Democrats and other leftist fanatics have since frantically spread lies such as "it was only about sex" to divert attention from the high crimes and misdemeanors that actually took place. These diversions continue to the present day. They are similar to lines such as "The Benghazi attacks were only over a video" or "The problems with Obamacare are only because a website doesn't work right".
