Bill Clinton was impeached. He was not removed by the senate. And republicans lost congress after impeachment in House.

A guy lies about sex in a civil case didn’t seem to be that big of a deal to most.
Trump is far from being a sympathetic figure, and his list of crimes is growing. Pelosi wants to get the best witnesses, and the strongest case possible. She wants to win in the court of public opinion. That will protect us if Mitch pulls a fast one on us.

members sign a pledge to support tRump, and refuse to impeach him. WHY? What is HE hiding, that he is willing to demean himself to protect a person that he himself deemed "a danger to this country. He will destroy the country" That is what he said before that infamous golf game with tRump. So obviously compromised, it is pathetic. Of course, it will be easy to have those weak kneed members sign the pledge. Gym Jordan has his own dirty laundry to protect. Drunken Matt Goetz is in the same boat, clinging to a job that he is unqualified to do. Are they seeing themselves in the WH someday, since the supremely unqualified tRump has the support of the gop jellyfish?

of his committee. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
