It has shaken me that we stand at the brink of removing a President — not because of a popular groundswell to remove him and not because of the magnitude of the wrongs he’s committed — but because conditions in late 20th century America has made it possible for a small group of people who hate Bill Clinton and hate his policies to very cleverly and very doggedly exploit the institutions of freedom that we hold dear and almost succeed in undoing him.

Bill Clinton ?

Oh NM

[Political Junkie Too]

In 1998, Bill Clinton perjured himself and suborned perjury to cover up sexual harassment and a hostile work environment in the White House.

Prior to that, he traded missile secrets to China for campaign donations, he funneled campaign funds through Buddhist monks who took a vow of poverty, and did many other things that Republicans chose not to pursue.

Think of it as like when the FBI got Al Capone for tax evasion, even though they knew he had committed other crimes prior to that.

With President Trump, it's not about Presidential crimes, it's about the Democrats having a weak 2020 slate and using impeachment as an election strategy.
