      He was acquitted. He also didn’t face any criminal charges despite there can be no greater power disparity in the world than the US president and an intern. Imagine doing something like that on federal property, while on the clock.

        He got off worse than Reagan, which is saying something. He got “punished” about as harshly as any person who doesn’t have their entire head up their ass would expect a president of the US to be, which is barely.
