Judge to consider timing of Trump University trial

8. Can anyone say "Whitewater"?

Let us remember the words of our last reasonable Republican president, Gerald Ford: "You can impeach a ham sandwich for the crime of being a ham sandwich." The Constitution only says you can impeach for "high crimes and misdemeanors." It doesn't say when these "high crimes and misdemeanors" had to occur.

The Republicans, if they could have found damning enough evidence, would have gleefully impeached Bill Clinton for Whitewater, for Troopergate, for Mena, for damn near anything they could have laid hands on. The ONLY reason they impeached him for obstruction of justice in the Monica Lewinsky case was half the Contract On America class ran for office on the necessity of impeaching the president, and the only thing they could find that he actually did was to say he never had sex with Monica Lewinsky. (Which was actually true - in the District of Columbia, "sex" is one thing we're sure he DIDN'T do.)
