Our great success with Impeachment for Clinton was sorely tempered by the following failure to remove by the Senate.
We learned that under our current culture and political landscape, almost any criminality can be washed away as inconsequential misconduct causing persecution by political foes.
A Senate filled with full time politicians, will never convict without a huge majority groundswell of hatred for the Impeached offender.
I have forever thought the same thing and it signaled to the MSM that the Pubbies have no stomache for impeachment or the rule of law. That, in turn, gave them more confidence in how they can shape and report events.
Also - who the hell who can a Majority Leader seriously when he wears a crap hat like this
