campaign and i was and what i learned in the 2000 campaign, the republican overreach in the clinton impeachment of 1998 and 1999. the republicans just as the overreach the idea that nancy pelosi would take the state of the union address and turned to republicans for mitch mcconnell and hang them the impeachment document at some point, what a stunned. that could do more to do damage to our system of confidence in the institution of congress which this is not about political stunts. this is about serious business. ed: pointing out it s the leaders of the impeachment effort backfiring on them, it might boomerang on you now. see, i think that s not what happened next make the impeachment actually happened in the lame duck in 1998, and in 2000, the next election when there was a booming economy,
