But why was Clinton under oath over this issue, since having an affair is not a crime? This is the same with Trump as they are treating it like a crime. Even though I believe that adultry is wrong, in the US, it's not ILLEGAL, so why is everyone treating it like it is, when it comes to the Presidency? And if it's not illegal, then why are President's forced to answer these questions under oath?
And what I do not understand is, why didn't Clinton just take the fifth if he was under oath? Taking the fifth is legal, and then he wouldn't have been impeached over it, since it wasn't perjury, so why not just take the fifth?
Actually, adultery IS illegal in the State of New York.
Why is Trump being with Stormy Daniels being treated like a crime?
Here's a sampling of answers to your question

I actually don't think they don't care about helping the country - and it's pretty much open for all to see... they are just trying to 1) mask it with racism and Trump's hair is orange and he's a meanie, and 2) become increasingly volatile in their behavior toward anyone who supports Trump.

The wheels of justice move very slowly. Stay patient grasshopper.
Lol...very slowly. And it’s KILLING Trump’s supporters. The longer it grinds on, the more excruciating it is.
I notice that every time I say the words “Robert Mueller,” Conservatives have this vein pop up on their heads, and they have this slight touch of apoplexy. They try to hide it, but I’m an expert at spotting it.
More because Trump lied about it like everything else.
He did and there is even an allegation of breaking laws by paying Stormy and other women weeks before the election to prevent the possibility of it effectively changing if Trump would get elected or not. It don't have to be directmy tied to campaign donations since it (possibly) effected the election. Plus it also plays into the whole the Christian right are hypocrites considering twenty years ago they wanted to burn Clinton at the stake for the same thing that Trump is alleged to have done.
If Obama was found out to have had an affair with a porn-star just a few weeks after his wife gave birth to his child, would City-Data Trump supporters shrug it off? "No big deal?" No, absolutely not.
Republican lawmakers like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell would be calling for Obama to resign, and political talking heads like Rush Limbaugh & Sean Hannity would tear Obama to shreds. Far-right City-Data posters would be going bonkers for Obama to resign as well.
Any Trump supporters have the integrity to quote me and agree that what I said above is probably pretty accurate?
But to answer the OP's question, Stormygate is being treated as a crime because, if campaign finance funds were used to payoff Stormy, it is a crime.
I thought maybe there were previous threads about this by now, but couldn't find any. My apologies if it's been talked about before on here.
But why is it that this is being treated like a crime since I read it was under investigation. Why? I mean if I slept with a porn star, my boss in my job, would not investigate me for it, thinking it makes me a bad employee. He just wouldn't care I don't think. Sure it's adultry but plenty of American's cheat on their spouses all the time, and they are never investigated for it, in order to see if they should loose their jobs over it.
So why is the country thinks it's one of the reason's why he is a bad president and wants to investigate him for it? I mean why not spend investigative resources on actual crimes that matter, and who cares about the President's prior sex life?
Unless I am wrong and this is an important issue that money should be spent on?
Because our leaders are expected to be moral and not grab women by the pu$$y

.
The Republicans would’ve completely gone Camarillo Hospital on us if Obama had done that. We can’t even begin to imagine the furor and multiple investigations that Republicans would’ve carried out.
Pay attention. They had spies in the campaign and have admitted it.
Campaigns from dog catcher to POTUS have had spies looking at the opposition since there have been political campaigns. Nothing new here. Had they not been novices they'd have been looking for it. SMH
The same people who think that it is ok that Trump lied went after Clinton when he lied. Shows how they are hypocrites. Neither one broke the law by cheating on their wife.

Well it could be that any buyoff by Trump like the allegations state happened, broke the law as it would have possibly effected the election. I agree, not as strong as if campaign finances went into the payments (which there are a few abnormalities in the Trump campaign self-made) but it would still potentially be a case against Trump.
