8. I'm convinced they did it to DISGRACE THE PROCESS
because, as we know, Clinton was a fiscal conservative who had handed them many of the things they wanted, from NAFTA and GATT through the horror of a welfare reform bill. Obviously, they weren't trying to rid themselves of an ally.

I think they knew exactly what they were doing when they tried to impeach him over such a tissue of lies. Yes, it was an obvious political witch hunt and yes, it should never have been allowed to proceed.

However, it has provided excellent cover for the treasonous bastards in control now. Because the process of impeachment, itself, got such a bad rap, Congress is loath to repeat it.

It was their plan all along, IMO.
