Except it was, and the fact that the attorney was told to bury it on an NSA server is a bit of a tell tale, no? If it wasn't criminal, why is the White House dictating its people don't testify? Why not be transparent with documents and testimony? |
What part of it is unfair? The part about the president breaking the law? Or the part where the president was illegally withholding Congressionally appropriated funds in exchange for personal gain, or the follow on obstruction of justice? The House is operating under 2015 rules - implemented by the GOP. Were you complaining about the rules when Nunes and Jordan were running the show? Pompeo and Gowdy extolled the virtues of "secret" testimony as it related to Benghazi. Were you upset about that? |
Traitorous f*cks all those republican traitors voting along party lines against today’s house impeachment efforts. Also all you trump supporters are traitors. |
I don't think the American pubic is as stupid as these GOP Congressmen think they are. I guess we'll find out next November. |
ZERO Republicans voted for this resolution. ZERO.
And, Pelosi said impeachment needs to be bipartisan. She lied. We need to get her out of the speaker position and reinstate a Republican. |
This wasn't impeachment, this was laying out the rules for the next phase of discovery. If the GOP won't sign on as testimony confirms the worst of the crimes suggested to date, then that is their problem. |
How bi-partisan was impeachment for a blowjob? |
You do that by flipping the House back. Good luck with that. |
This isn't the impeachment vote. Rs will come out when they have to because the extent of the corruption, abuse and incompetence has been witnessed by everyone in open hearings. |
You are such an optimist, calming and rationally answering paid interns, and Chinese, Iranian, and Russian intelligence agents. |
Best tweet!
"Listening to Nancy Pelosi talk reverently about the Constitution is like listening to Bill Clinton talk about chastity." |
Maybe we can have a new educational thread providing readers the basic knowledge the public needs about government and ethics and procedure so that people can follow the public testimony with the necessary knowledge to make their own judgments about the ultimate issues.
If you've never studied the constitution or the rules of the offices of government, it is too easy to be swayed by the noise and liars on social media. |
How can you type this with your fingers crossed like that? |
No, they don't care. |
You mean for the actual charges he faced? Although proceedings were delayed due to the bombing of Iraq, on 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)[19] and obstruction of justice (by a 221–212 vote).[20] Two other articles of impeachment failed – a second count of perjury in the Jones case (by a 205–229 vote)[21] and one accusing Clinton of abuse of power (by a 148–285 vote).[22] Clinton thus became the second U.S. president to be impeached, following Andrew Johnson in 1868, and the third against whom articles of impeachment have been brought before the full House, the second being Richard Nixon in 1974. Five Democrats (Virgil Goode, Ralph Hall, Paul McHale, Charles Stenholm and Gene Taylor) voted in favor of three of the four articles of impeachment, but only Taylor voted for the abuse of power charge. Five Republicans (Amo Houghton, Peter King, Connie Morella, Chris Shays and Mark Souder) voted against the first perjury charge. Eight more Republicans (Sherwood Boehlert, Michael Castle, Phil English, Nancy Johnson, Jay Kim, Jim Leach, John McHugh and Ralph Regula), but not Souder, voted against the obstruction charge. Twenty-eight Republicans voted against the second perjury charge, sending it to defeat, and eighty-one voted against the abuse of power charge. |
