CNN Host, Reporter Agree Impeaching Trump Over Sex is Dem Hypocrisy with Icky Witnesses
Newsbusters ^ | December 9, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

Michael Isikoff, Chief Investigative Correpondent for Yahoo News, is unable to find any real proof of Trump-Russia collusion based on the latest court filings by Special Counsel Robert Mueller when he appeared on CNN's December 8 Smerconish show, hosted by Michael Smerconish. 

But first, Isikoff agreed with Smerconish on the appearance of Democratic hypocrisy on impeaching over sex. Rep. Jerrold Nadler "eloquently" argued Clinton shouldn't be impeached for lying to conceal an affair with an intern. So how is Nadler going to impeach using sketchy witnesses like Stormy Daniels and Michael Avenatti?

This ought to get interesting considering all the taxpayer money that has been spent by Congress over the years for hush money.

Some of that money for a Congressman from CA already running for President.

NY Democrat Jerry Nadler was confronted about his comments–made during former President Bill Clinton's impeachment–saying a president can't commit obstruction of justice. NBC's MTP's Chuck Todd asked Nadler about his past comments, in which he was defending Clinton during the impeachment proceedings against him.".......back in 1999, during the debate about whether or not Bill Clinton obstructed justice, you said at the time you were not convinced that a president could obstruct justice," Todd said. "Do you feel that way, that it's not one of the quote ‘might not be impeachable,’ put it this way, that obstruction of justice might not be an impeachable offense?"

NADLER HAVING DEMOCRAT-INDUCED MEMORY PROBLEMS "Well, I don't remember saying that, but if I said it, I said it, but no, I don't agree with that today. A president, anybody can obstruct justice," Nadler said. "Obstruction of justice under certain circumstances might be an impeachable offense. Remember, there is a very big difference between a crime which may or may not be impeachable and an impeachable offense which doesn't have to be a crime."

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

Nadler has been a member of Congress since 1992 and was part to the Clinton impeachment proceedings. In a 1998 floor speech, Nadler said Clinton perjuring himself was not an impeachable offense."Perjury is a serious crime and, if provable, should be prosecuted in a court of law. But it may or may not involve the president’s duties and performance in office. Perjury on a private matter, perjury regarding sex, is not a great and dangerous offense against the Nation. It is not an abuse of uniquely presidential power. It does not threaten our form of government. It is not an impeachable offense," Nalder said.

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

At the time Nadler said Clinton's perjury with regard to a private sexual affair did not threaten the Constitutional order; it is a crime but was not an impeachable offense. Perjury regarding an attempt by a president to subvert the Constitutional order, to aggrandize power probably, would be an impeachable offense."

That was then----Rep. Jerrold Nadler defended Clinton "eloquently"......arguing the lewinskied Clinton shouldn't be impeached for lying to conceal an affair with an intern.

This is now----incoming chair Nadler is itching to impeach Trump using discredited witnesses like porn star Stormy Daniels and her lawyer Michael Avenatti.

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

THE IMPEACHMENT OF BILL CLINTON

Attorney David Schippers became a public figure when a friend of his, Congressman Henry Hyde, asked him to be the Chief Investigative Counsel for the US House Judiciary Committee. Schippers was a lifelong Democrat but accepted and took the job in April 1998.

The Hyde Committee was holding an inquiry on whether President Bill Clinton had committed impeachable offences in his handling of the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit..... during which he committed perjury regarding his affair with then-White House Intern Monica Lewinsky. After an investigation, 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, 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).

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

and the president's personal counsel (right).

The Senate voted not to remove the impeached president.

...for what the Justice Department dropped charges against John Edwards.

Edwards trial is right on point.

Keep in mind Edwards did go to trial, after a Grand Jury indicted...there was a deadlocked jury, hence a mis-trial and the DOJ decided not to retry and dropped the charges.
So the campaign finance issue as a crime was never resolved.

Also, keep in mind, that by the time charges were dropped, it was a RAT DOJ that did it.

Nadler needs to visit Uncle Benito's Esso station very soon.

There's a meat hook just his size there...

The lewinskied Clinton didn’t just lie. He lied under oath......a transgression serious enough to cost him his law license.

“...impeached for lying to conceal an affair with an intern...”

It wasn’t just lying to conceal an affair with an intern, it was lying to a Grand Jury.
