I cannot say what I think of the impeached former President, but will urge everyone to remember this:
There are these brief moments of insanity when I almost feel nostalgic for Bill Clinton, because what we have in the White House now is so much worse.
i’m fairly certain that they had bjclinton on charges of treason (some of which is detailed in the cox report), but didn’t want to level those charges at him... because it would damage the office. (hence the statement from a senator “if you saw the classified evidence i saw, you’d vote to impeach as well”.. obviously, it had nothing to do with witness tampering or conduct unbecoming the office)
at that point, they probably approached him, showed him the evidence, offered the gentleman’s way out... ie: we’ll level some embarrassing and bogus charge... he’d resign... and that would be that. he most likely agreed... and then double crossed them when they made their bogus charges public, thereby forcing them to prove the charges.
red badges should never be allowed through named doors. obvious statements overruled during the 90s.
