I wish McCarthy explained the difference between Impeachment and sentencing a little better. She would be the second Clinton to be Impeached by the House but not sentenced by the Senate, the 2/3 requirement being an impossible hurdle. So what does that give us? Would Impeachment by the House be sufficient to accomplish his aim, to bar her from holding office? Or would the failure of the Senate to sentence act as a “not guilty” verdict?
