    And the Easter Bunny will publish the findings, Trump will go to jail, and everybody will live happily ever after.

    Nixon wasn't bipartisan until they realized in the end that they had no choice but to advise Nixon to resign if he didn't want to be convicted.
    The Nixon impeachment was the result of an actual undeniable documented CRIME, Jim. Nobody disputed that the CRIME occurred, and nobody was confused about what the CRIME actually was.

    Did I mention there was actually a CRIME that triggered the Nixon impeachment process?

      The inquiry resolution vote in the Nixon impeachment was 410 to 4 - overwhelmingly bipartisan. The Trump 'validation of existing investigations, not an impeachment resolution, honest' thing had a vote of 232 (all Democrat) to 196 (194 Republicans and two Democrats).

      No direct evidence and no valid charges (focus group polling aside) - and the only 'bipartisan' support is for stopping the whole mess. This sham is nothing remotely close to the Nixon or Clinton affairs which both had bipartisan support for the inquiry - and in Clinton's case, the articles of impeachment.

        Comparing the Trump Impeachment to the Nixon Impeachment is like comparing a Clown Car to the Indy 500.

          Let us hope so, though if he's smart he'll seek asylum in Russia just as did Putin's puppet in Ukraine, Yanucovych

          Nixon was being impeached and innocent of committing any crimes until Congress decided that he did. No different than this case with Trump. But do keep seeking out those excuses.

            Wrong - Nixon was implicated because there was absolute undeniable crime linked directly to him. Nobody disputed that Watergate was a crime, and the impeachment was all about the coverup.

              True, Trump is far more corrupt and dangerous than Nixon ever thought of being.

                  Er, guys, you're both wrong. Nixon was not impeached. There was an impeachment inquiry because there was sufficient evidence that he had been involved in an actual crime. Nixon resigned after being forced to release the tapes that proved his guilt.

                    Er, no, I'm not wrong. I never said he was impeached.... there was obviously an impeachment process begun, but he bailed before there was a vote.

                    Sometimes you're a wee trigger-happy to find fault, my dear sister.

                    Perhaps you assumed because I said....

                    But I pointed out it was a "process" in that same post...

                      You've been editing... And I now have no idea what you think you said that I'm assuming from... Be back...


                      Back: Actually, it was the use of impeachment that I quoted. I knew you knew better - you caught me mucking that up - but it still reads like Nixon was impeached.

                      But that's not really what I was getting at - Nixon's involvement was not certain at the time of the inquiry vote.

                        Regardless --- I am FULLY aware that Nixon was not impeached, never said he was, though the impeachment process had most certainly begun, and it was VERY MUCH BIPARTISAN, because it was so overwhelmingly OBVIOUS that an actual CRIME had been committed, and he was implicated in direct involvement.

                          Chill - that wasn't what I was getting at.

                          Yes, the break in was a crime - but improper use of presidential power for political gain can also be criminal (needs a lot more salt, I grant). At the time of the inquiry vote it wasn't at all certain that Nixon was actually involved.

                          But there was a very definite, specific line of inquiry with regard to charges - totally unlike the floundering 'investigation' of Trump.


                          Jim's only being a little bit jerky - if you let this get to you, you'll have a stroke when Ox shows up.

                            Different times, CP. Republicans were a different breed back then, they were sane. Trump has committed many obvious crimes already, and could probably shoot someone on 5th ave, and still an impeachment inquiry would be partisan. Republicans/conservatives today are basically led, like sheep, by unethical, immoral propagandists.

                                I was not wrong - you simply jumped to the conclusion that I thought, or said, that Nixon was actually impeached...

                                Next?
