It’s not worth arguing over at this point, and I’m not seeking to infer there’s much to argue about here anyway.
Hyde was the driving force in the House at that time. As soon as the articles of impeachment were declared, it was obvious they ran from the most egregious actions of the president.
Dole refused to hold impeachment hearings. That was the end of that.
For the articles that were listed, I don’t think there was anything worthy of removing a president for.
I don’t remember them, just that take on them. Someone may be able to dig them up easily and make a case for them. I might agree with their take on them too.
My impression was that they were quite weak, and that’s pretty much all I remember now.
Actually, it was Trent "Power Sharing" Lott who was majority leader at the time, and told Henry Hyde: "You're not going to dump this garbage on us."
