Oh, I think "some here" understand things just fine. I think others - like you - are twisting yourself into pretzels to excuse and cover for abusive, destructive behavior. Your citation above is proof positive. The story of Clinton's abuse of women wasn't just about "Monica". Clinton has a long history, and plenty of accusers. Yet, not only were these women's stories not taken seriously. These women became the targets of an orchestrated campaign by the Clintons and their surrogates to destroy them. Take it from K Sebelius:

"Not only did people look the other way, but they went after the women who came forward and accused him," says Kathleen Sebelius, the former secretary of Health and Human Services and Kansas governor. "And so it doubled down on not only bad behavior but abusive behavior. And then people attacked the victims."

Sebelius extended her criticism to Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton White House for what she called a strategy of dismissing and besmirching the women who stepped forward—a pattern she said is being repeated today by alleged perpetrators of sexual assault—saying that the criticism of the former first lady and Secretary of State was "absolutely" fair. Sebelius noted that the Clinton Administration's response was being imitated, adding that "you can watch that same pattern repeat, It needs to end. It needs to be over."

And then this same bunch wants to target and accuse others of the same behavior that they've engaged in. The hypocrisy is spectacular.
