90% of people on the PC just can't understand how a liberal elite like Briarfox is going to rewrite history books.

I guess you don't really care about the facts or who is even pushing for impeachment, just as long as someone is pushing for impeachment.

If that helps you sleep at night, sure.

In reality there's not been feasible grounds for impeachment despite Mueller's less than subtle hints about Congress's role in checks and balances. Democrat's weren't going to be anymore successful with an obstruction of justice impeachment than the Republican's were against Clinton. Until now that is.

Republicans were 100% successful with Impeachment against Clinton though.

Apparently the intelligence community made a change to whistleblower complaints within the last year. Before a whistleblower needed firsthand knowledge of what they are alleging if they wanted their complaints to reach Congress. The change no longer makes this a requirement, allowing anyone who "heard from a person who heard from a person" or who "read it in the news" to allege wrongdoing and testifying before Congress.

By any means necessary, right, Seran?

Clinton's acquittal speaks differently.

Can you cite any statute or executive order which expressly limits whistleblower status to those with firsthand knowledge? I can't find one. Nor could I find any changes to said directives instituted. Enlighten me if you feel so inclined.

You apparently don't understand the process for removing an official from office. The House impeached, like what happened to Clinton. The Senate then decides whether to convict or not. Conviction generally means removal from office. He wasn't convicted. He was impeached. Republicans were 100% effective in impeaching Bill Clinton. They were not successful in securing a conviction and removing him from office.

Impeachment is basically just being indicted. Clinton was indeed indicted.

And the plea bargain and private settlement to avoid criminal perjury charges tell a different story.

He didn't avoid everything. He was still disbarred in Arkansas and isn't allowed to present cases to the Supreme Court.
