ABC yanks, replaces story in which GOP Rep. suggests Clinton impeachment
bid linked to Nixon's fall

ABC News in Chicago has yanked and replaced a story in which retiring Rep. Henry Hyde (R-IL) indicated that the attempt to impeach President Clinton came in retaliation for the move to impeach President Nixon because they felt the story was too opinionated, RAW STORY has learned.

The piece was removed from the ABC Chicago affiliate's (WLS) website Friday because the network felt it had too much commentary by the author, a staffer says. The affiliate also took down a video which included comments from Hyde.


From the original article before being gussied up.
Andy Shaw asked Hyde if the Clinton proceedings were payback for Nixon's impeachment.

"I can't say it wasn't, but I also thought that the Republican party should stand for something, and if we walked away from this, no matter how difficult, we could be accused of shirking our duty, our responsibility," said Hyde.

OK, we now know they "Shirked Our Duty, Our Responsibility" at the expense of our National Security and the cost of millions of dollars of wasted on a Witch Hunt.

Also at the expense of current history because of the history revisionist, NIXON WAS NEVER IMPEACHED. HE RESIGNED!
