The Exact Timeline of Events in the Lewinsky-Clinton Scandal:

Nothing strange until now. However, as the nation understood much later, things happened quite fast from that point, as 1995 was the year when she began a relationship with no one else than the President, that would last for two years, and eventually would lead to an epoch-shaping scandal.
