<<..prosecutorial good conduct..>> Now there is one that only seems to be an issue in this case. The guy may be as guilty as anything but if the prosecutors have displayed bad manners, lets forget the whole thing????

Democrat senators won't allow criminal court procedures. They won't even stand for witnesses. They even object to being called jurors.

>Prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Clinton obstructed justice--using criminal court standards of evidence and prosecutorial good conduct--and I believe, as I have said before, you have a solid case for impeachment and removal.< You make several errors. Firstly, you here limit the judgement only to “obstruction”, which is not Clinton's only crime. Secondly, you attempt to judge Clinton's crimes merely by criminal standards (a thing to be reserved for a criminal court, NOT a court of impeachment). Some of Clinton's crimes are criminal, yes, and they should be judged by a criminal court; but they are not merely criminal. They are POLITICAL, as described by the Founding Fathers. The subjects of a court of impeachment's jurisdiction are political crimes, namely, those crimes that result in an abuse of some public trust. Therefore, Clinton's impeachment is justified.
