Trump on the other hand has bragged about such behaviour. Bragged about it with no shame. If Trump was impeached for what Clinton was impeached for, imagine the indignation from his supporters...... not for him the high standards expected of a president.
So spare me the witch-hunt bollocks. Trump is a disgrace and this is the very least he deserves.
What kind of comparison is this?
It's not an impeachable offense to lie about getting a BJ or brag about it. What are you talking about????
Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath
Now, he should never have been hauled in front of Congress in the first place. I do not believe that was a proper use of their powers. But, when you get a bunch of hateful, spiteful (and frankly, power drunk crazies) in Congress that is what happens. Then it was the Republicans. Now it is the Democrats - they seem to be even worse. The impeachment standard is so low now that whoever controls the House and Senate effectively controls the President - totally at odds with separation of power amongst the 3 branches.
