That had been determined in the House. Their Constitutional function was to determine whether or not he actually DID what he was impeached for, to determine removal. Knowing they were not trying to determine these facts, it became a forgone conclusion that Slick would not be removed.
I hung in there with cable TV until Gore conceded before pulling the plug. My wife couldn't take it anymore, it was like having live streaming prostitute cameras or other filth beamed directly into the living room.

Clinton solidified that position on the day he visited the Murrah Bldg in OKC. From AF-1 he was on KMOX in St. Louis blasting Jerry Falwell and “that damned video.” That video was THE CLINTON CHRONICLES. I am good friends with the producer. Clinton wanted people to believe it was the “Falwell” video. Falwell had nothing to do with its production. He was one of the many people who distributed it. But Clinton brilliantly created what has saved him and other RATS —— you have to stay with them no matter what because you have to beat the dreaded right wing.
