Batman,

The big difference is that it can be (and was) argued that former President's Clinton's well known failings had little to do with his job performance (longest peace time economic expansion in history, 300 plus per cent growth in the stock market during the time he was in office, budget deficits becoming surpluses, etc).  The same is not true and can not be said for one who would qualify himself in expert testimony regarding his life's profession with phony academic degrees.  That is why I believe determining the truth about the matter is important.
