I don’t remember a Trial for slick willies impeachment, in fact the Entire Senate REFUSED to look at any of the evidence.
There was a trial. Lindsay Graham was in the house at the time and was one of the lead people who presented the house’s evidence. Rehnquist resided over it all.
No. There was a lengthy trial for Bubba.

Of course, there was. Rehnquist sat in judgment - it resulted in a vote of NO to impeach him.
They started. Evidence was all s quests red in one place. Hearings were held. The repubs couldn’t muster the votes
Uh - then you were not paying attention at all. There was a trial. There were tickets sold - there were opening and closing arguments. Perhaps you need to get to the doctor and get that old memory checked. I remember it very vividly.
The sad thing is - you are not the first to post such a thing. This is more of a case of revisionist history than what you really vividly remember (or, in this case, don't).
The Democrats had some dirty dirt on Trent Lott, and forced him (i.e., threatened (BLACKMAILED HIM!)to expose his “secrets”) to not try Slick.
I was in DC at the time, and the whole thing stunk to high heaven!
Republicans folded, and lost the next election; the tragedy of it is the wrong lesson was learned!
Slick was (and still is!) a perjurer, and should have been removed FRom office; had the Republicans not lost their testicles, they probably would have won the next election, and the lesson learned would be a positive one!
As it is, We the People suffered BIGLY!
Just saving you the trouble...you may have already looked it up. I guess most of us would prefer forgetting all about that time in our history - thanks be to those carpetbaggers who have gotten away with everything since their college days (his draft dodging) and Arkansas days (Whitewater) and on and on into the WH etc. Incredible how they can even show their faces but it’s like water off a duck’s back!

Then you weren’t paying attention. You don’t recall Chief Justice William Rehnquist and his newly fashioned, gold armed robes overseeing the sham?
I also recall Lindsay Graham was instrumental in ensuring the Clinton subornation of perjury impeachment trial was an absolute joke for the ages.
Google is your friend, (well not really, but in this case it is).
Not the “entire senate,” just the gutsy Majority Leader, Trent Lott.
Couldn’t believe Trent did that, but it never got to a senate vote, to the best of my recollection.
If I am wrong, I apologize, but I remember being furious with Trent. Unlike President Trump, Clinton had committed a felony.
