Bill Cilnton was a criminal (he committed perjury) and a serial liar. But Dems refused to remove him.
If Dems start impeachment based on hush money, the public perception will be "They couldn't find evidence for Russian collusion. So they are trying to nail Trump on an entirely unrelated, rather trivial matter. This is just like that Ken Starr investigation."
You know how that turned out for the GOP.
Whataboutism!!! False equivalency!!!
Clinton was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice. In my opinion, he should have been removed from office.
Clinton did lie, but he was not a serial liar. Trump has run away with the biggest liar ever award...and it's not even close.
Even so, here is why what Trump has done, is much much worse.
1) Perjury? Yep...for sure, and for things that are way more important than what Clinton lied about.
2) Obstruction of justice? Yep...for sure, and many times, and for things that are way more serious than what Clinton obstructed justice about.
3) Conspiracy with Russia to help win the election. Your assertion that they couldn't find this is odd and shows either great delusion or a lack of knowledge about how investigations such as this go. We obviously don't have anything we know that is public that shows this just yet, but it's going to happen. The Trump Tower meeting alone sinks Don Jr., Kushner, and just adds for Manafort, and there is no way The Orange One didn't know about it. Mueller has the goods. No one has moved on to other things because they couldn't prove conspiracy. You do know that Mueller has different people with different skill sets/expertise working on different parts of the investigation, right? The conspiracy is the biggest part of this investigation, and so it makes sense that it might be the last to be known. This is traitorous, and if we were at war with Russia, it would be treason. Treason is punishable by death!
4) Two felonies are hardly trivial matters. Not as big a deal as the obstruction of justice and the conspiracy will be, but they are still big deals. Just goes to show that he committed all kinds of crimes, not just one big crime.
Now, when you add to the fact that Clinton was likable and Trump is not, Clinton was capable and Trump is not, Clinton did not ruin relationships with our allies and cozy up to dictators while Trump HAS, it just makes it that much easier for those in his same party to decide to oust him. Also, Clinton was viewed as ONLY lying about an affair. Trump is lying about and will be viewed as lying about conspiring with Russia against the United States of America. That is a much bigger deal.
This is all about wits. Do you really pick Trump over Mueller? Over anyone?
Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.
