The Possibility of Impeachment Obstruction of justice. Abuse of presidential powers. Failure to comply with congressional subpoenas. These were the three general Articles of Impeachment that the House Judiciary Committee approved against Richard Milhous Nixon in July 1974. The committee also linked Nixon and certain members of his administration to charges of conspiracy, perjury, concealing evidence, offers of pardons to convicted felons, hush-money payments, and misuse of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency. Nixon avoided a trial of impeachment in the U.S. Senate by resigning the presidency on August 9, 1974. Failure to comply with congressional subpoenas. My understanding is Clinton failed to do the same when subpoenaed by those investigating the fund raising. Some involved have fled the country, others have used the 5th. Federal Bureau of Investigation We know about the files in the WHite House. Evidence collected: These are snipped from other sites. He routinely provided White House access and face-to-face meetings with agents of a foreign corporation that was closely tied not only with the Chinese government but with an agency of that government known for its espionage activities. The FBI itself has refused to brief the President and his senior staff on counter-intelligence information involving efforts by the Chinese government to influence the 1996 U.S. elections Three of the President's friends have invoked the 5th Amendment in refusing to cooperate with congressional investigative committees. Three of the President's biggest campaign contributors have left the country. The President himself has defied the subpoenas of a congressional committee probing his relationship with those who have taken the 5th Amendment or fled.
