For the sake of accuracy Nixon was never impeached, he resigned to avoid impeachment. When William Jefferson Clinton was impeached but not removed from office it was correctly reported that he was the first ELECTED president to be impeached but now many people erroneously believe that Clinton was NOT impeached because he was not removed from office while they erroneously believe that Nixon WAS impeached even though he actually resigned from office before he could be impeached.
“For the sake of accuracy Nixon was never impeached, he resigned to avoid impeachment.”
You are right.
What I meant was many Republicans let the impeachment proceedings that led to Nixon’s resignation go forward.
The Republicans did not fight back against the impeachment efforts.
Nixon was never impeached.
He resigned when all signs seemed to indicate that he was GOING to be impeached.
Bob Woodward recently said that if Fox News had existed in 1972 Nixon might have survived. I think he is right. The nonstop media onslaught against Nixon eventually convinced most Republicans of the day (who were mainly moderates) to turn on the guy.
“incomprehensible that Obama did not know”
Trump’s initial statement was something to the effect that “Obama had my phones tapped”.
I think that is the bottom line, and that is where we’ll end up.
Same goes for landlords. Use all attorneys in town and no tenant can sue. They have legal aid, though, really bias against landlords.
Do you think those drugs are made in Louisville and just a local affair?
They’re key to terrorism and smuggling of not merely drugs but weapons and humans, too, willingly or not...
Well there was the tape transcripts, the 18 min gap, John Dean, the Sat night firings (yay Bork) and All in the Family.
