2018:
But The New York Times today quotes the incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee saying – Jerry Nadler saying, “if the campaign finance case as laid out by prosecutors is true, Mr. Trump would be likely to meet the criteria for an impeachable offense.”

1998:
Mr. Nadler said he was not convinced that Mr. Clinton committed perjury or obstructed justice, but that even if the President did, the offenses would not be impeachable.

"An impeachable offense is an abuse of Presidential power designed to or with the effect of undermining the structure or function of government, or undermining constitutional liberties," No-Nads told several hundred people at the recent town hall meeting at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

1998 - Federal judge Susan Webber Wright begs to differ with No-Nads, the fat lying gasbag from New York:
In a biting, 32-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright of Arkansas said Clinton gave "false, misleading and evasive answers that were designed to obstruct the judicial process" in Jones's sexual harassment lawsuit.

In other words, perjury and obstruction of justice.

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

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,
<><> he 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.”
