What swayed the Senate with Clinton was that the Senate was as derpish then as they are now. The House majority was new and still full of beans. They became establishment once Newt was gone and the pedophile from Illinois took over. They took in all the globalist money, decided to legislate by appropriating to special projects where they got a piece of the action, and suddenly, they were like the Senate.
But I digress. The Senate, led by Trent Lott, a former Dem who converted only to get elected but never changed a single principle, told the House leaders “not to bring this sh*^ here”, and then gave them such a limited ability to present evidence that it was doomed to fail. The President perjured himself in a grand jury regarding a sexual harassment, the kind that his DOJ prosecuted against ordinary peons every day of the week. It was undeniable. That never got litigated. Nor did the charges of those he had raped and harassed over decades previously, which would have been relevant to the truth of the original charge. It could have been powerful TV which would have resulted in democrats demanding that he step down.
That was never the plan.
The distinction is that the claims against Trump are phony and manufactured, and Trump can release information that proves it. If it gets to impeachment, it should be ignored by the Senate as insufficient to make a case for “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
I probably threw away other unlabeled tapes of this. This is just 1 1/2 hrs.

Re: Clinton impeachment, Trump situation not comparable

Thank you for the education on Clinton impeachment and the clarification that Trump is holding a winning hand of tsunami declassification.
