Yes, no, and who cares?

Qualified yes to your first paragraph. Based on what we've seen, he's a pig and may be a criminal. He only goes to prison after he's been convicted.

Absolute no to the second paragraph. The Democrats didn't have to keep anything "quiet". The Republican House leadership did that. They could have fixed this when it was known by fellow Congressmen, quite a while ago. They would have gotten a lot more credit going after their pervert on their own, and picking the time and place. But noooo... One Of Us couldn't be associated with this kind of activity... If it's turned out to be politically inconvenient for the Republicans now, that's the wages of political cowardice.

A big yawn to the third. Bill Clinton, as far as I know, went for grown-ups. Young women sometimes, but women who were legal adults, not just biological ones. Also, pointing out that someone else's boy has been a pig doesn't clean your house. In fact, since the Republican leadership has been so hot to punish sexual misconduct for so long, I would have thought they'd have been all over this.

This kind of spin doesn't work. Just express your outrage and move on.
