STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE
Only recently, Monica Lewinsky came clean and made clear that a sitting President, Bill Clinton, suborned perjury from her.
An impeachable offense, for which the penalty is loss of his law license.

All of Clinton's crimes happened while he was a sitting president:
the 47 Oral Office visits from Monica; subornation of perjury, lying under oath, hush money, etc etc etc.

Clinton lied under oath about suborning Monica.
MORE EGREGIOUSLY.....Clinton even went so far as to have Lewinsky give Linda Tripp written instructions,
coaching Linda onm how to properly perjure herself in the Willey matter. (Linda didnt buy it.)

===============================

THE LIST GOES ON AND ON: Bill's intimate pal, Vernon Jordan, arranged a $40,000-per-year cushy government job for Lewinsky shortly
after she signed ......but before she filed...... a falsified affidavit saying she had NOT had sex with the president.

As insurance, Clinton had another pal, his Ambassador to the United Nations, Bill Richardson,
personally visit Lewinsky at the Watergate to offer her a government job to shut her up.

==========================================

AND THIS---Attorney David Schippers was asked by his friend, Congressman Henry Hyde, to be Chief Investigative Counsel
for the US House Judiciary Committee. Schippers, a lifelong Democrat, accepted and took the job in April 1998.

The Hyde Committee was holding an inquiry on whether Clinton had committed impeachable offences in his handling
of the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit..... during which Clinton committed perjury regarding his affair with
Monica Lewinsky. The committee in December 1998 voted to impeach Clinton........a decision supported by Schippers.

On December 10, 1998, Schippers said to the committee:
"The President, then,
<><> has lied under oath in a civil deposition,
<><> he lied under oath in a criminal grand jury.
<><> he lied to the people,
<><> he lied to his Cabinet,
<><> he lied to his top aides,
<><> and now he's lied under oath to the Congress of the United States."
"There's no one left to lie to."

=======================================

Upon the passage of H. Res. 611, Clinton was impeached on December 19, 1998, by the House of Representatives
on grounds of perjury to a grand jury (by a 228–206 vote) and obstruction of justice (by a 221–212 vote).

The Senate voted not to remove the impeached president.

Start seriously thinking Civil War II . They are not going away. It’s hard to believe but the truth is the truth. Jerry Nadler is the ringleader and he will bring all 1/4 of a ton of his body weight into this fight. I wish it wasn’t so but here we go again.

And Trump’s crime, beating Hillary Clinton..

Elections only work when all sides agree to abide by the results of fair and honest elections, which apparently the Democratic Party is unwilling to do in the last election.

I suspect 2020 elections results will not be accepted either.

[RooRoobird20]

This disgusting fat slob The Waddler never stopped defending the impeached disbarred rapist Bill Clinton who clearly obstructed justice, and committed perjury and subornation of perjury.

Hey Fat Slob and the rest of your Rat party, here’s a thought: If you don’t like what Trump is about, beat him at the ballot box. Oh, that’s right, you know you can’t beat him in 2020, you know you all are a bunch of big fat fascist LOSERS.

[Louis Foxwell]

These A holes are burying themselves in pure aggravation. They deserve every bit of what they are trying - and failing - to give the president. A pox on their house.

[Sarah Barracuda]

The Democrat Party is no longer the Democrat Party most are familiar with..yes they have always been leftists obviously, but ever since Obama won in 2008 they changed and for the worse..now its destroy EVERYONE they disagree with, trust me when I say this, if they had the chance they would put ALL Conservatives into ovens, yes I said it and I 100 percent believe it too..this is what they have become. They have NO agenda, have they even passed ONE bill, nothing, its only 1 mission, to destroy ANYONE that they disagree with, destroy the electoral college, destroy the Presidency, whatever it takes to destroy America and turn her into one massive sh*thole

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on a House panel’s expanding investigations of President Donald Trump (all times local): 1 p.m. President Donald Trump says he’ll cooperate with the House Judiciary Committee’s sweeping investigation into his White House, campaign and businesses. When a reporter asked him Monday if he was going to cooperate with the investigation led by Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, Trump replied: “I cooperate all the time with everybody. You know, the beautiful thing, no collusion. It’s all a hoax.” The committee is sending requests to 81 people linked to the president and his associates.

> Are you certain they don’t have 67 votes in the Senate? <

Not now. Not even close. But these are not normal times. There are many in the GOPe/Deep State who would just love to see a “smoking gun”. And they wouldn’t care much if it was real or faked.

I hope Trump beats his fat arse to a political pulp!

We never saw the coup coming but this day one on this Nadler crap. This 1/4 ton piece of crap has my blood pressure over the top. If we think Nadler is going to be a problem picture him coming out of the shower toenail fungus and all. The guy is beatable. His DC # is 202-225-5635. Stop using logic it does not apply. We are at war!

[lodi90]

The Dems don’t need to impeach. Just hamstring and wound POTUS enough so he can’t win in 2020.

The GOP is fully on board with this strategy and steadfastly refuse to cover Trump’s flanks. I have no doubt.

[Candor7]

This is extremely good news for the 2020 Trump campaign. PDJT serves the country progress and accomplishment, the Dems serve up vitriol? It doesn’t get much better.

Yeah, and every supporter of POTUS bankrupted. Hooray.

[Maris Crane]

At one time, I would have been sure there were not that many turncoat pubbies, but look how long it took to convince Rand Paul that he HAD to see things their way.

I thought Rand Paul was a strong minded guy. What a soft headed, non thinking ditz he turned out to be.

And under the guise of “the Supreme Court and the Constitution.”

WOW, what a deep thinker...….NOT.

[amorphous]

This is extremely good news for the 2020 Trump campaign.

Not directed at you, but I see the same thing said every time the left's radical ideology is in the headlines.

I would agree with you, except now it seems elections no longer matter.

[magua]

Dems have never had any pushback ever. The threat of a Civil War might get the politicians attention that this is a real possibility . Donald Trump is not going to be impeached because we are going to prevent it Like the tea party in 2010. Actions have consequences. Remember they are not after him they are after us. He’s just standing in the way

[Electric Graffiti]

“They do not have the votes in the Senate to impeach. Not a chance in a million.”

I can’t think of a republican senator that actually voted for Trump. Most voted for Hillary or abstained from voting. The votes are there in spades they just need a ‘legal fig leaf’ from Mueller in order to pull the removal lever. They will have no choice but to ‘uphold the rule of law’ dontchaknow. IOWs, the repubs want Trump gone more than the dems do.

[grumpygresh]

He also hired defense attorneys. That is another clear obstruction of communist justice.

So, one must never defend yourself if you’re innocent or not guilty. And the fact the Trump has called the investigations a witch hunt is an open admission that Trump is a witch.

[Lurkinanloomin]

And they wouldn’t care much if it was real or faked.

All they need is a fig leaf.
