Republican Admits Impeachment Probe Hasn't Found Any Crime by Joe Biden
Representative Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican, told NBC News' Kristen Welker on Sunday that according to lawyers hired by Congress, "at this point, there's not a specific crime that's been committed" by President Joe Biden in the impeachment probe against him.
You're viewing a single thread.
The GOP will continue dragging out this investigation anyway, until they either find some actual dirt or create an artificial precedent that all presidents are under continuous investigation, thus discrediting any future impeachment procedure against their guy. Either way, It's a win.
This didn't work the first time with Clinton.
It's not "revenge" for impeaching Trump, it's revenge for Nixon. The Whitewater investigation didn't find anything until Monica Lewinsky. She actually wasn't even working at the White House when the investigation started.
The investigation wasn't even about her, it was about real estate I believe. They just wanted whatever they could get on him and he made the mistake of lying about something embarrassing which then became the issue... Not to defend him, lying is lying especially if there are laws against it in those situations.
So naturally the Republicans now go to "purgery trap! Purgery trap!" When impeachment is aimed at them because they know what they would do...
She actually wasn’t even working at the White House when the investigation started.
Is this actually true? This is the first time I've ever heard this, would be shocking if so.
It surprises you that Republicans don't investigate in good faith? Ken Starr was the Whitewater investigator who continued the investigation after the previous one left. He was appointed a year before Monica Lewinsky arrived at the White House.
This is why Clinton's approval ratings went up after he was convicted of "perjury" for misleading an investigation into his private life. Should he have done it? No. Did the American public care? Hell no.
With the assistance of a family connection, Lewinsky secured an unpaid summer White House internship in the office of White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta. Lewinsky moved to Washington, D.C. and took up the position in July 1995.

In August 1994, Republican Kenneth Starr[39] was appointed by a three-judge panel to continue the Whitewater investigation, replacing Republican Robert B. Fiske, who had been specially appointed by US attorney general Janet Reno, prior to the re-enactment of the Independent Counsel law.

No, just the timing.
