Arch-Conservative Tried To Derail Clinton Impeachment ......
"Hyde, the courageous hero of impeachment, in fact had cold feet -- freezing cold feet. The "real" story can be found buried on pages 484-7 of Bob Woodward's 1999 book, Shadow: Five Presidents and the Legacy of Watergate."

this article is really interesting because of this->

"Perhaps, however, the more important aspect of the four Bobs story is that it never became part of the public discourse. Few, if any, politically influential conservative read Woodward's book or Hyde would not have been the honoree at so many Republican gatherings celebrating impeachment. --->Among reporters, political operatives and activists, none that I have encountered has ever heard of it.<---

From the narrow perspective of the Washington Post, the paper missed the opportunity to publish what would have been a major story."

1. Probably wise... the Clinton impeachment ended up costing Hyde his job.

2. If there is ever to be justice again, presume this whole spectacle will be overturned . . ..
too late though to catch up with those who perpetuated this fraud on the nation ---

The GOP made a mockery of impeachment ---

for many reasons that would be a benefit to them considering that Nixon resigned --

under pressure of actually be ousted from office . . .

Something the GOP wanted revenge for --- and in hopes of creating another "new" Nixon ---
