Impeachment is a political process, being found guilty of something is a legal process (impeachment can lead to further legal proceedings, but in itself is not a legal process).
Once the bill had passed though the House, it went to the Senate for an impeachment trial (actually overseen by a Judge) - they did not get a super-majority of votes required to find him guilty (67 out of 100) - it was 45-55 on one charge, 50-50 on the other (5 Republicans voted with the Democrats on that one).
So Clinton was acquitted, and that means, no matter how many times you say it, he wasn't found guilty.

He was found guilty of two counts via the votes that’s the same thing- you never learn that I stand by what I say!! Clinton was guilty!
