We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

This guy got impeached for getting a BJ from his secretary. Can you believe how far we've come? Er...how far we've...fallen?

He got impeached for lying about it. For lying. Impeached for lying. Ya know the thing Trump does literally every time he speaks?

Lying under oath. He got impeached for perjury.

Like that's something Trump has never done...

He's been impeached twice. Maybe if we'd successfully impeached Clinton it would be easier to impeach him now.

Depends entirely on what facts we're talking about and in what context.

I mean, any president of high-ranking government official, just like any private-sector CEO or manager, using their position of power to coerce an intern to doing sexual acts, is pretty serious. Not to mention with politicians in particular that such behavior becomes a national security risk.

I know that Republicans did a lot of horrible propaganda to turn it into a political issue, but what Bill Clinton did was absolutely wrong and legitimate grounds for being removed from office.

Definitely terrible, but on a scale of terrible things that Presidents are capable of? International invasions? War? Genocide? Deconstruction of global economies? You have to absolutely consider the enormous implications of replacing them.
