The Dems need to remember what happened after Ken Starr unnecessarily and in bad faith turned over heaven and earth to get Clinton impeached. He succeeded, but Clinton was not removed from office, just as Trump won't ever be removed from office because the GOP controls the Senate. Pelosi - surprisingly - seems to be the only adult in the room. As I read her, she wants to move on because she remembers what happened when Starr did his stupid gig.
What did happen was this: Clinton's popularity soared. At one point it was in the 70+% range. One could make the argument that Starr gave us the Clinton machine, reviving them for their 25 year reign over Dem politics. Dems like Maxine Waters, Schiff, Swalwell and a bunch of their cohorts in the media are following Starr's well-trodden footsteps, and I love it.
Please, please, PLEASE keep it up. I beg you to continue, even in this dark corner of the internet.
With an election imminent, this kind of unjustified obsession is pure political gold for the GOP.
The media and the grandstanding Dem pols will pick nits, moan and groan, give full vent to their TDS, just like the GOP did when Starr was doing his thing.
And the ultimate result?
LOL!
There is nothing new under the sun, no lessons learned, nothing but history and political folly repeating itself.
