6. He Said It Backfired On Repubs...But It Didn't Really....
Although they failed in their attempt to convict, their impeachment has been used again and again to tarnish the Clinton legacy and all that Clinton accomplished. It has become an iconic shorthand descriptor for Clinton's corruption, in their eyes and the eyes of many.

But more importantly, Clinton was impeached for lying about a sexual indiscretion, not lying us into a war costing thousands of lives and maiming thousands of others and ruining their lives and the lives of their loved ones. That's why the result would be different, I think.

However, the dems are scared...and I wonder if Harwood may be right...for the wrong reasons...Fear is the reason, not the fact that impeachment backfired...
