    Making a super chancey and unlikely prediction there, he said sarcastically.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    I'm pretty sure we can get our Republican friends to maintain this Tradition.
    It was an effect of mission creep, giving undefined investigative power to an Independent Counsel tends to get them to go after crap like perjury traps, etc. which allowed Starr to get into stuff like Paula Jones and semen stains where Clinton had testified no "sexual relations" ever happened. I do not like political investigations, not then and not now. This is why Clinton would not be convicted by the Senate and removed from office, and why the same will happen with anything the Dems dream up after Mueller's report is finally finished.

    3. What would be more Honorable, Trump lying about having sex with another woman while his wife was pregnant, or being Truthful?
    4. Is it really anybody else's business who Trump (or Clinton) has sex with?
    5. Most Americans, along with every European, thinks Republicans were putting on a Clown Show.
    6. If Trump is found to have lied (hahahahahahaha ... I can't say this with a straight face) to the American people, will you support Impeachment?
    Goggle can be your friend.

    1 - The charges arose from an investigation by Ken Starr, an Independent Counsel. Originally dealing with Whitewater, Starr, with the approval of United States Attorney General Janet Reno, conducted a wide-ranging investigation of alleged abuses, including the Whitewater affair, the firing of White House travel agents, and the alleged misuse of FBI files. On January 12, 1998, Linda Tripp, who had been working with the Jones lawyers, informed Starr that Lewinsky was preparing to commit perjury in the Jones case and had asked Tripp to do the same. She also said Clinton's friend Vernon Jordan was assisting Lewinsky. Based on the connection to Jordan, who was under scrutiny in the Whitewater probe, Starr obtained approval from Reno to expand his investigation into whether Lewinsky and others were breaking the law.

    The rest is just you bloviating.

    I would think it would depend on what comes up.
    If it comes down to Trump using campaign money to pay off a Porn Star over a sexual affair, I doubt most people would consider this as an Impeachable Offense, even though it might be illegal.
    Money Laundering ... that might be viewed differently. Using the Office of President as a way to generate 'business deals' or make money for the Trump Organization might be viewed as an Impeachable Offense.
    Flynn working for the Turks, Manafort working for the Russians. This raises some Red Flags. I have no problem seeing what turns up.

    Which is more Honorable in YOUR mind:

    Protecting your wife and child from embarrassment and humiliation at the hands of the religious Guttersnots, or telling these hypicritical, window-peeking, political idealogues the truth?

    He wasn't protecting his wife and child, he was trying to cover his ass; because the allegations (which were proved to be true) had been around way before he became President; unless you're trying to say Hillary and Chelsea were totally unware of this, prior to the investigation.

    Of course you don't, you're a leftist. You and your ilk have a penchant for Soviet style police state tactics. In this country, we are not supposed to investigate people, "and see what turns up". We investigate crimes. If there is no predicate crime, there shouldn't be an investigation.

    Does anyone else find it amazing that liberals are so focused on Trump supposedly conspiring to pay off someone and yet no angst over the slush fund that Congress was supposed to have used to pay off other women!!
