Should Clinton keep running if indicted

[bripat9643]

Because when he loses the Trump University scam it becomes enough to impeach him.

You really should learn the difference between a civil and criminal trial.

For instance, former President Bill Clinton was guilty of felony perjury.

Wrong.

The infamous "Starr Report" outlining the findings of the Independent Counsel's investigation was delivered to the House of Representatives on Sept. 9, 1998, and subsequently made available to the public. Many felt the report, filled with lurid details of Clinton's sexual encounters with Lewinsky, to be a political attack against the President rather than a legal justification for his impeachment. Of the 11 possible grounds for impeachment cited by Starr, four were eventually approved by the House Judiciary Committee: grand jury perjury, civil suit perjury, obstruction of justice, and abuse of power.

On December 19, following much debate over the constitutionality of the proceedings and whether or not Clinton could be punished by censure rather than impeachment, the House of Representatives held its historic vote. Clinton was impeached on two counts, grand jury perjury (228–206) and obstruction of justice (221–212), with the votes split along party lines. The Senate Republicans, however, were unable to gather enough support to achieve the two-thirds majority required for his conviction. On Feb. 12, 1999, the Senate acquitted President Clinton on both counts. The perjury charge failed by a vote of 55–45, with 10 Republicans voting against impeachment along with all 45 Democrats. The obstruction of justice vote was 50–50, with 5 Republicans breaking ranks to vote against impeachment.

Impeachment History

The day before leaving office, Clinton agreed to a five year suspension of his Arkansas law license as part of an agreement with the independent counsel to end the investigation. Based on this suspension, Clinton was also automatically suspended from the United States Supreme Court bar, from which he chose to resign. Clinton's resignation was mostly symbolic and will have little practical effect. He has never practiced before the Supreme Court and was not expected to in the future. Clinton also was assessed a $90,000 fine by federal judge Susan Webber Wright for contempt of court. The Paula Jones lawsuit was settled out of court for $850,000.

Clinton agreed to this suspension on the condition that Whitewater prosecutors wouldn't pursue criminal charges for "evasive and misleading answers" Clinton gave under oath about his relations with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

In April 1999 Judge Susan Webber Wright found Clinton in civil contempt of court for misleading testimony in the Jones case but did not press for any criminal charge. Rather than undergo a review by the Arkansas Supreme Court, Clinton voluntarily surrendered his Arkansas law license.

I supplied this last tidbit because you might have otherwise wondered if there was a criminal conviction associated with the $90,000 fine. There was not.

The 5 year suspension of his law license ended in 2005.

Your post only proves that Clinton did commit perjury.

You're obviously another troll on the Clinton payroll.

Like every single American he had the opportunity of a trial by his peers and was found not guilty. Those are the facts, the undeniable facts. Not guilty

Wrong, moron. All impeachment does is determine whether he keeps his job. It's not a criminal trial.

Like all Dimocrats, you don't understand any of the basic facts of the issue.

The impeachment found him guilty of criminal charges. It then went to the Senate for a trial where he was found not guilty. it was the same for Andrew Johnson. Like all boneheaded Rebubbaklans you should slap your momma and daddy for supporting the cut of your educational funding.

 

[jon_berzerk]

her very first response to that question was absolutely ridiculous

she said she didnt want to have to use two phones

as the reason for a private server

--LOL

After a week’s worth of silence, Hillary Clinton on Tuesday finally offered an explanation for why she opted to use a private email address to do government business while secretary of state. It wasn’t a good one. She says she made the decision simply because she didn’t want to carry around two phones.

Hillary Didn’t Want to Deal with Two Phones, But Had an iPad and an iPad Mini

The REAL truth, is she wanted to be immune from FOIA requests.

This article is written by a Democratic bureaucratic elite, that KNOWS all of this, and STILL plans on voting for her! That should tell you a little about how the Deep State works.

Hillary’s Email Defense Is Laughable
I should know—I ran FOIA for the U.S. government.

yup

You can blame that spineless weasel Lindsey Graham for the failure to get a conviction.

I think the more level headed members knew that if they went so far to convict they would start a war that would never end.

The Dims started that war during the Nixon administration, so only the spineless idiots like Lindsey Graham worried about that.

Wrong. Nixon started that war and Republicans couldn't live with a resignation.

The Dims started it. What Nixon did pales in comparison to what Clinton and Obama have done.

Democrats did not start Watergate that was Nixon and Nixon alone. Arranging a burglary has to be pretty low on the presidential scale of doing scummy things.

Kennedy and Johnson knew the value of information on their opposition or potential threat and used any means necessary to get that information. Nixon and his people adhered to the same principle and premise but were sloppy snd got caught. Nixon also believed in punishing your enemies. Nixon was an environmentalist who gave us the EPA. Point being, anytime a liberal rails on Nixon, laugh and remind them how much their icons are just like him.

 

[boedicca]

Should Donald Trump resign the presidency if found guilty of running a scam on students?

The NEA and Colleges been doing that for years yet no one ever resigns.

That's okay it's grounds for impeachment anyway.

Yes. Clinton got impeached for obstructing and he maintained the Presidency and popularity. Clinton proved impeachment means nothing. Hillary would agree.

Conviction and removal is what counts better make sure the Senate is on your side.

I'm not Sealybobo, bub.
