Only because they had something worthy to investigate. But, we'll never know because the left owning the house will go right back to covering their assets, protecting their criminals, and weaponizing the DoJ/FBI if possible.

No it didn't.

The day the GOP House actually voted yes to impeach Clinton, his approval went up by 17 points, and the least likable, least human candidate of the last 150 years won the popular vote and almost the electoral vote riding on the coattails of that idiotic theater of GOP stupidity.

Other than "only two Presidents ever impeached and one was Clinton" as talking point, the GOP lost every way you can lose because of their incessant investigations of Clinton.

It's nonsense and the voters almost always punish it.

Dems won the freaking Kansas governorship and now hold 24 of the governorships.

It was a wave election. Not a tsunami nor was it a non event.

Wahine is dead right about Kavanaugh being a Dem disaster.

Investigate? That's what you think they're going to be doing? I'll let you in in a teeny tiny little secret...they have enough dirt on Trump to make him do pretty much anything they want, sign anything they want, or nominate anyone they want. Think about that for a second. If done right he'll alienate his entire base before it's all said and done.

Correct. All the Republican House did with those investigations into Obama was get him elected again. I don't understand why people do not get this.

Yeah, thats so neither side has to justify any action/ risk.

When both sides claim to have won, neither of them have to actually do anything that may result in them being arrested, thrown in jail, loosing their incomes, etc etc.

I hope so and distract their voter from what is important, like a possible 2 more SCOTUS confirmations in the next 2 years.

There would have been a third president impeached (Nixon) had he not resigned from office.

And why did he resign?

Because both Congressional and special counsel investigations uncovered evidence of his criminal behavior, which is why Mueller must be allowed to continue his investigation and why a Democratic-controlled House will issue subpoenas and conduct real hearings into Russian meddling of the 2016 election.

Like it or not, the whole truth will come out and the guilty are running scared.
