Yeah you're right. Clinton's smoking gun was essentially lying.

It's highly, highly unlikely the FBI tipped off CNN. With the SCO grand jury meeting yesterday and then a sealed case being filed on the DC docket anyone paying attention knew something big was going to happen today and Stone being indicted was the most logical thing to assume so kudos to CNN for being there.
I would say a big difference is Clinton's impeachment charges had nothing at all to do with Starr's investigation itself. Instead it was a completely different situation altogether, that being Jones' lawsuit against him alleging sexual harassment where someone came to Starr and said they had proof that not only did Clinton lie under oath during that trial, but he also instructed other people to lie.
That's a big difference than someone talking to the FBI then the FBI deciding you lied to them so now they get to charge you with a crime.
Not to mention Starr's investigation was very limited in scope, he actually had to ask for permission to even pursue those charges against Clinton because those didn't fall under his original scope.
Contrast that to Mueller who has been given free reign to do pretty much anything he wants. And tying into this point someone came to Starr and said hey I think someone committed such and such crime, here is some proof. In other words Starr was investigating a potential crime and looking for proof, whereas Mueller seems to be investigating people and looking for any crime he can pin them with. It's a complete shit show.
Look at Androidpk carrying CNN's water. First it was "LOL! They were camped outside his house for a while, moron!" Then when even CNN themselves said Androidpk was a dipshit now he's buying their latest narrative. CNN just had a gut feeling they should check out Stone's house, you know, just in case, and they happened to get there just a mere 2 hours before the raid.
