Something I'll never understand about why there wasn't a slam-dunk on Obstruction of Justice or Witness Tampering.

1. Clinton's secretary testified that he came to her to "refresh his memory" about what happened.

2. In that meeting he, said over and over again, "We were never alone, right? You were always there, right?"

3. Unless he was being serviced right in front of Mrs. Currie, the above statement was absolutely false, and could not have been part of a memory refresh. i.e., it was obvious coaching of the witness to give false testimony.

Slam-dunk!

If the Senate would have concentrated on this point alone, there would have been sufficient support for removal from office. But I never heard it mentioned after the trial in the house.

The Senate sold us out, read the book by the honorable democrat, David Schippers "Sell Out", he represented Paula Jones and "we the people" against the powerful. No Senators visited the evidence room at the Senate. They were more concerned about how the American people would react to a conviction than doing their duty. Clinton should have been impeached AND CONVICTED for China. No, we will not "get over it", we will not "move on", should this apply to John Walker Lindh?

I'm coming around to the idea that the Republicans in the Senate did not want him removed because they did not want to give Al Gore that edge for 2000. When I first heard that theory, I thought it was tin-foil-hat material, but I haven't seen anything else that makes sense.

I work in DC, and went to the trial repeatedly. People with blue tickets (which anyone could get) only got to stay for 15 minutes, people with yellow tickets (the "special" people) got to stay as long as they wanted, and didn't have to wait in the line, either. I remember standing in line and seeing two yellow-ticket people blowing past, laughing & joking about something totally unrelated, and being infuriated that such undeserving folk had the tickets that obviously SHOULD have been mine.
