Of course in 1998 and early 1999 the media was on Bill Clinton's side. If Nadler's committee were to vote for impeaching President Trump, the media would celebrate it even if Pelosi sees to it that the full House does not vote articles of impeachment. They know Trump won't be removed by the Senate but hope that the talk of impeachment will sway low-information voters to think that Trump is guilty of something.
When Jefferson was US minister to France, he took a trip to Lombardy in northern Italy and smuggled out seeds of a particular variety of rice which was in violation of the laws of that part of Italy. The Federalists in Congress failed to impeach him for that crime when he was President. Slackers.
