Its kinda sad that you could equate Clinton getting his Billy slurped (perjury), of which he was acquitted, with the possible crimes of Stevens and co. trading contracts in a war Zone for personal favors!
If Stevens and co are found guilty IMO sure they will ignore the minor offense of perjury.

Something the Republicans wouldn't do, when after spending 70 million dollars on the whitewater investigation they could find nothing better to charge him with!
That was just petty politics and abuse of the system.

You really need to review History!


On Saturday, July 27, the House Judiciary Committee approved its first article of impeachment charging President Nixon with obstruction of justice. Six of the Committee's 17 Republicans joined all 21 Democrats in voting for the article. The following Monday the Committee approved its second article charging Nixon with abuse of power. The next day, the third and final article, contempt of Congress, was approved.

Articles of Impeachment:

RESOLVED, That Richard M. Nixon, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeachment to be exhibited to the Senate:

ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT EXHIBITED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN THE NAME OF ITSELF AND OF ALL OF THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AGAINST RICHARD M. NIXON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT OF ITS IMPEACHMENT AGAINST HIM FOR HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANOURS.

Article 1: Obstruction of Justice.

Article 2: Abuse of Power.

Article 3: Contempt of Congress.

Wherefore, Richard M. Nixon, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial and removal from office.

(Approved 21-17 by the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, July 30, 1974.)

Consequences:

On August 5, 1974, the long sought after audio tapes provided the "smoking gun" which revealed President Nixon had been deeply involved in the coverup and had ordered Haldeman to halt the FBI investigation just six days after the Watergate break-in.

On Friday, August 9, Nixon resigned the presidency and avoided the likely prospect of losing the impeachment vote in the full House and a subsequent trial in the Senate. He thus became the only U.S. President ever to resign. Vice President Gerald R. Ford succeeded him and a month later granted Nixon a full pardon for any crimes he might have committed while President.


Technicalities to serve the Republican Party dont signify fact.

Nixon resigned to avoid being removed from office which was a sure bet.
Impeachment proceeding were started after a hard long investigation. By your usage of the word impeachment these hearings in themselves are defined as impeachment.


Johnson and Clinton were acquitted.
Nixon was found guilty and had to be pardoned by Ford to prevent serving a prison term.
Beside the written history which is fact, I remember the events!!

Read it for yourself,

You need to read what you post.

HE WASN'T IMPEACHED. He would have been if he hadn't resigned, but once he resigned, they could no longer hold the vote to have him impeached. Geez...you had the information right there and you ignored it thinking you could one up me. Read what you quote next time, you put egg all over your face.

You need to read. You need to think!
Why was he pardoned?
Daaaa!!!!

Typical NeoCon logic!! :noway

In defense of 6 Republican crooks.
You bring up The impeachment of Clinton and Johnson.
Even though both were acquitted of the accusations against them
And then bow out on a technicality with Nixon's impeachment because he resigned.
Even though he had to receive a pardon from his VP
to avoid a prison term that would have resulted because
the trial was going to proceed anyway!

You did read the articles of impeachment against him, didn't you?

You did see where they passed by the Judiciary committee, didn't you?

Dont bow out on a technicallity!
Thats just too Republican!!!

In mine and most other Americans minds
Nixon is the only President to be Impeached.

The act of pardoning him is undoubtedly the reason Ford was not elected!

Fanta,

Words have meanings.

Nixon was never impeached. He would have been, but they didn't get the chance. He might have gone to prison, but he was pardoned. I'm not being partisan, I'm admitting to this stuff. Do you think I have a picture of Nixon in my wallet? I'm just stating the facts, you are the one trying to distort the record.

Nixon was not impeached because all pollution stick together, thats why ford pardon nixons.there all crooks nixon just got caught.
