Since they couldn't find a way to prosecute him for the real crimes he committed.

But they DID at least nail him for tax evasion!

We may not get everything we want in pursuing impeachment, but if we don't try, we're not going to even get half way, and if we don't even get half way, the cost of not doing so will be pretty damn hard for us and our descendants to accept later!

IMPEACH THE BUMS!

1. I agree. We have to go for impeachment and conviction here.
And like Capone, who's last days were less than peaceful thanks to venereal disease the twilight of * will be anything but kind. All that hard living early on will take its toll even moreso than what we can see now. It will be a fitting punishment for a man who was responsible for so much death and destruction in the world.

But before that he needs to be stripped of the presidency.

3. Yes I believe you're right.
Tax evasion charges got at least some of them.
