Ha ha, the truly evil do pay.
Life doesn't lack it's sense of irony, does it?
It was all done as cover for the crimes his Administration committed in Bosnia-Herznogovia.
On February 12,1999 the Senate voted on whether to remove Clinton from office. The president was acquitted on both articles of impeachment. The prosecution needed a two-thirds majority to convict but failed to achieve even a bare majority. Rejecting the first charge of perjury, 45 Democrats and 10 Republicans voted “not guilty,” and on the charge of obstruction of justice the Senate was split 50-50. After the trial concluded, President Clinton said he was “profoundly sorry” for the burden his behavior imposed on Congress and the American people.
This never happened clinton said beware of fake news. lol
And thank god hildabeast didn't make it
The Russians and Monica caused all his troubles.
I still trust him more than his witchy woman
drain the swamp
941 it was done to cover more than that -- the Clintons sold China our tech secrets while pocketing their bank in the Clinton Foundation folds. Also remember, the Foundation was created with our tax money, not their own. Their crimes far exceed obstruction and perjury and my crystal ball says they're about to become center focus of new DOJ entering January 21st. The six investigations are given green light to move full throttle, meaning the Clintons are as fried as fried chicken.
No wonder bill is on a rampage today
Americans need to realize that BOTH political parties are controlled by the Bankers.
That is the lesson learned from Mr. Trump's success.
He defeated both the Republican Party and the Democrat Party because he spoke for the regular American People. We have a voice. Let's hope he doesn't fall from the very high perch upon which we have placed him! He is a human being. He says he will serve the People. Let's HOPE he does so with dignity.
The US government is very evil and dangerous. Corrupt to its core.

Check your history. President Clinton was Impeached (convicted and found guilty) by the House of Representatives. He was not removed from office by the sentencing phase of his trial that was conducted by the Senate. They chose not to punish him by removal from office, much like a judge will impose a sentence which is much less than the law allows. Make no mistake about it; he was convicted and found guilty by the House. There was no acquittal of the charges.
