(58,785 posts)(over 7 because they started well before he was sworn in), none of which could be proven (but that wasn't necessary, was it?) they finally got him almost accidentally when they abandoned the current gate to ask him about his affair and he lied to try to protect himself and poor Monica.
This was one time it didn't work for the right. You'll recall that the nation, including many conservatives, was so disgusted with the politically corrupt impeachment of a popularly elected president that, in a mid-term election, when the GOP expected to pick up a bunch of seats, they lost them instead. Speaker of the House Newt had to resign and make a new career out of selling fake awards and cancer cures.
Again, WE, the Democratic Party, don't do that stuff. There's a reason why archconservative billionaires were able to corrupt and take over the Republican Party to destroy our democracy, and why the Democratic Party are the ones they and the Russians have to defeat to achieve their goals.
That to-the-bone corruption and reliance on deception on the right are the reasons why, if you ever have to guess without evidence who's likely to be innocent and who's likely to be guilty of this type of charge, the odds are very heavy that the Democrats are being lied about and the Republicans are not.
