So now it is the republicans fault slick Willy gave out those pardons. You are going to have a hard time pinning that one on us.

The pardon was a very bad idea, but the president's pardon power is pretty much absolute. I don't think it is worth the political cost to try to impeach Clinton after he is out of office. Even if the action was taken from serious concern about the illegal contributions and other irregularities it would seem vindictive. It would hurt Republicans, energize Democrats and the only practical positive effect would be to save an insignificant amount of money on Clinton's pension. It just doesn't make sense at this point.
