So the articles of impeachment were drawn up after Clinton lied during a deposition during pretrial discovery for a sexual harassment case brought upon Clinton by Paula Jones.

The reason why Lewinsky was even brought up was because she was mentioned in the Starr report which was a report prepared for the house judiciary committee by independent counsel Ken Starr.

Ken Starr was appointed by Janet Reno, I think, originally to investigate the Clinton's dealings with the Whitewater Land Company.

So if you connect all the red string the investigation was a real estate one that led to him lying about a blowjob.
