Hello Aaron,

>LL>Democrats and independents are doing their constitutional duty.
>LL>Republicans have yet to do theirs.

>Were Republicans doing a smart thing with the Clinton impeachment?

The Republicans had a majority in the House and could do whatever
they wanted, with or without reason.  Made no difference at all if
anything they did was smart or dumb as an ox.  In any event, five
Democrats did go along with it.  So at least in this case, it was
not all their fault.

>Because he lied under oath?

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinski!"
~ Bill Clinton

He even went on national television and explained to the American
people why what he said was the God's honest truth.  So please,
the reason why Republicans chose to impeach Bill Clinton could not
have been because he lied under oath.  Even if he did.

What it was all about was sex.  Republicans were jealous, and
they wanted in on the action.  Ken Starr even put Monica Lewinski's
pretty blue dress (including the stain) on display in the evidence
room for all to see.  Not a single representative chose to examine
any of the evidence.

Trust me when I tell you, if Donald Trump is impeached, as expected,
it will not be because he lied under oath.  And I seriously doubt he
will be impeached for having sex with a White House intern.  After
all, he is a self-admitted sexual predator, grabbing women by their
pussies to get what he wants.

>What was that supposed to accomplish?

A break from their daily routine.  Think about it.  Republicans
chose to impeach Bill Clinton.  Those same Republicans went on to
win another term, and retained majority control of the House.

>Maybe cost him his 2nd term?

Bill Clinton went on to complete his second term in office, and
left after serving eight years in office as the most popular president
in American history.  So what exactly did the House accomplish by
impeaching him?  Aside from making him the most popular president in
history?

>What did anyone learn about that?

Andrew Johnson was impeached in his first term.
Andrew Johnson did not serve a second term.

On the other hand, Andrew Johnson was never elected
president, so had nothing to lose.

>That it doesn't work?

Sure it works.  That is why Nixon resigned from office in disgrace.
His own party made him do it, the alternative losing their own seats.

Some wanted to impeach GWB, but Nancy Pelosi (she was Speaker
at the time) wisely chose not to pursue the matter.  As a result,
Barack Obama went on to win the presidency.  And the Democrats
gained control of both houses of Congress.

Today, things are different.  Democrats control the House, and
Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker.  Blacks are mad that only white people
will be on stage for the next Democratic candidates debate.  Which
is why Donald Trump will be impeached, and Michelle Obama will be
our next President of the United States.
