>>Certainly if they have used the IRS to audit their "enemies"; that would also bother me a lot though it was Nixon who got that down to an artform--but that does NOT justify its use, if it was done).

Wrong. Nixon was an amateur in that department compared with FDR, Kennedy and Johnson.

There is probably some guidance from the framers of the Constitution in the Federalist papers and other contemporary writings of the framers as to what constitutes a "high crime and misdemeanor." I haven't ever researched the subject so I don't know what's been written. However, I would venture however that perjury, subornation of perjury, obstruction of justice, invasion of privacy (Filegate), misuse of public offices (Travelgate), tax evasion (Whitewater), lying to Congress, etc., etc., etc. and other crimes of which Clinton stands accused would all qualify if sufficient evidence exists.
