By the time we were in the fall of 1998, president clinton and his entire white house were very used to being under investigation for a whole variety of allegations related to his past in arkansas. Even his fundraising efforts, when he was president. In the fall of 1998, he was elected to a second term, but they were going into the Midterm Elections. What Kenneth Starr of the as the independent counsel had uncovered was a whole series of alleged relationships the president had had in the past that he had investigated. Then he heard about an intern named Monica Lewinsky. By the time the impeachment inquiry was authorized, and in the house, 31 democrats went along with it, which is really interesting, ken starr had a whole report to present and turned over an entire investigation to the House Republicans, who were in the majority then. The background was fought with politics, the economy was doing fraught with politics, the economy was doing very well, bill clinton was very popular, but
Who they offer on the other side . President trump. 14,435 lies to date, since he has been president. Not under oath, but we should take his word for it. Then it is so absurd because in a call, we know the president s vocabulary. We know what he doesnt what he does not say. He might say winning a lot, he might say great. But in his ordinary conversation he does not use the words quid pro quo. When he has the conversation after the whistleblower is known to everybody, he gets a call, first thing out of his mouth is i dont want a quid pro quo. Where did that come from . It came from the fact that you are guilty of the crime that is charged. Just like a kid who just got caught going into the cookie jar, with crumbs on his mouth, when his mother says what are you doing. He says i did need that cookie. We have a call out of the blue in the first thing he says is i dont want a quid pro quo, i want them to do the right thing. No you would not have held up vital military aid. This is a country

Articles of impeachment, abuse of power, and obstruction of congress. Now more from the House Judiciary Committee hearing, starting with ken box from colorado. The gentleman is recognized. I heard my colleague from rhode island say this isnt about policy differences, this is about our obligation to protect and defend our constitution. It is about courage. It is about policy differences because you said nothing on your side, when president obama sent his surrogates out to lie about benghazi. You said nothing when president Obamas Administration entered into a gun running deal with mexican cartels, and the fast and Furious Program was developed. You said nothing about democrat leaders. This is about a policy difference. It is not about courage. I do not question anyones courage on the other side of the aisle, i question your judgment. I do not question your courage. I think the American People are getting tired. I say that because i have a friend from college, jim. And jim sent me a text
