How do you "impeach him and keep the testifying going" until the 2020 election? StarfishSaver May 2019 #63

Wrong. Clinton was investigated for several years- from 1994 to 1998. 58Sunliner May 2019 #97

That's where we differ StarfishSaver May 2019 #66

That first thing is wrong. Have you heard some of the constitutional authorities and historians pdsimdars May 2019 #16

Right, exonerated by a bunch of corrupt Repukes... but, the press from the hearings InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #131

That negative publicity will have a very short shelf life StarfishSaver May 2019 #132

I did not state that at all. PufPuf23 May 2019 #77
