No, I said that I would be willing to impeach for serious crimes or abuse of power. What Clinton has done is not even close to "serious," IMHO. Anyway, your argument is entirely specious, because the investigative force that Starr has brought to bear on the President is UNPRECEDENTED in the history of the civil law. This President didn't catch a break; he's had the house come down on him. Just imagine: in order to prove that a person lied in a civil deposition about his sex life, the FBI wired conversations with a key witness, prosecutors sifted through thousands of pages of entry records of the White House to discover every movement of the key actors; hundreds of witnesses were called before the grand jury; phone records of the White House were subpoenaed; dozens of prosecutors and investigators were retained by the OIC. I challenge you tomorrow to go to your local US Attorneys office and report that you believe that you caught someone in a lie during a civil deposition. Ask them whether they'll send the FBI to talk with you. They'd laugh you out of the place. I stand by my opinion that Starr, if he had any honor, would have said, "Ms. Tripp, I'm sorry, that's not the subject of my investigation, and I do not wish to pursue your allegations any further. Please stop bothering me." Doughboy.
