Clinton Article of impeachment:

Article I charged that Clinton lied to the grand jury concerning:[23]

1. the nature and details of his relationship with Lewinsky
2. prior false statements he made in the Jones deposition
3. prior false statements he allowed his lawyer to make characterizing Lewinsky's affidavit
4. his attempts to tamper with witnesses

Article III charged Clinton with attempting to obstruct justice in the Jones case by:[24]

1. encouraging Lewinsky to file a false affidavit
2. encouraging Lewinsky to give false testimony if and when she was called to testify
3. concealing gifts he had given to Lewinsky that had been subpoenaed
4. attempting to secure a job for Lewinsky to influence her testimony
5. permitting his lawyer to make false statements characterizing Lewinsky's affidavit
6. attempting to tamper with the possible testimony of his secretary Betty Currie
7. making false and misleading statements to potential grand jury witnesses


The Articles are nothing but covering up a sexual relationship..... the original investigation was, "Originally dealing with the Whitewater controversy"

So basically if we want to impeach every President who cheated on their wives.... that be a LOT. That is why Senate did not vote for removal. Was he wrong to lie? Yes.... were they wrong to use the their powers to pry into the private lifes between three women? " Mr and Mrs Clinton and Ms Lewinsky" yes it was. Back then Republicans were trying to find ANYTHING on Clinton... they only found a "days of our lives" show in the White House. I do believe the articles they will bring this time will be far too serious than a blow job.
