Franklin coverup, what happend?

Franklin Sex scandal

I do not know much more than this article. I found the article because of little stories I had heard that sent me searching. I just cannot understand why something this big and apparently well publicized is remembered by noone. There is no follow up, no anything but this. So what happend? Why do not people remember this as a huge scandal? Seems a bit larger than a bj in the oval office doesn't it? Or did I miss something about this story?

It makes me think of this which is also something that I think more people should see but I am not as curious about per se.

Conspiracy of Silence

Sorry I do not know how to embed youtube videos, what is the video number?
