      Actually you are mistaken, both parties worked together!

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_Bill_Clinton

      commence impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton, the 42nd president of the United States, for “high crimes and misdemeanors”. The specific charges against Clinton were lying under oath and obstruction of justice. The charges stemmed from a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Clinton by Paula Jones and from Clinton’s testimony denying that he had engaged in a sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The catalyst for the president’s impeachment was the Starr Report, a September 1998 report prepared by Independent Counsel Ken Starr for the House Judiciary Committee.[

      On December 19, 1998, Clinton became the second American president to be impeached (the first being Andrew Johnson, who was impeached in 1868), when the House formally adopted articles of impeachment and forwarded them to the United States Senate for adjudication.[a] A trial in the Senate began in January 1999, with Chief Justice William Rehnquist presiding. On February 12, Clinton was acquitted on both counts as neither received the necessary two-thirds majority vote of the senators present for conviction and removal from office—in this instance 67. On Article One, 45 senators voted to convict while 55 voted for acquittal. On Article Two, 50 senators voted to convict while 50 voted for acquittal.[3] Clinton remained in office for the remainder of his second term.[

    1. @Timothy Kozlowski NO, he can’t. Congress has the power of the purse. That is why he was impeached. If he never held up the aid he would not have been impeached. Simple as that.

  1. Just say – Lindsy is a worm,stop showing us videos highlighting this scum’s hypocricy.
    We get it , he is a dirty politician.

    1. @Patricia Wilson I think we all know why . for the record tho. I gave you a thumbs up, not trying to sound as if I disagree at all in any way.

    2. @Debra Bashaw not just a dem. but a dem who can prove they are the right Dem. both parties have their problems. we are just seeing how bad it is in the repugnykin’s side of it at this time. It’s time to clean house people … No more looking away !

  2. Lindsey Graham felt differently about everything till he got that orange taste in his mouth. Then it was pure love.

    1. should be punishable by death. then again wouldn’t be a republican alive in the house/senate if a smart person said: he these inbreds need investigated. vote blue, don’t be afraid to tell your inbred stupid relatives: don’t vote you don’t have a high enough iq

  3. Lindsey Graham said of Democrats, “God, y’all want power and I hope you never get it.”
    Well I say of him, “God, y’all got power and I hope you lose it never get it back.”

  4. An investigation into Lindsey Graham’s finances and associates will fully explain his motivation. And this holds true for all republicans.

    1. *You will find Putin under all the dirt…….holding their balls and spines, lined up in jars, on his desk!*
      .

    2. That’s probably what will happen. The reason they are fighting so hard. It’s only a matter of time the GOP finances will be looked into.

    3. I ve been saying this they ve to investigate some of the Republicans, look at Devin nunse, I’m so disappointed with the Senate, when that News about Nunes, they Would, take him, he Shouldn’t be part of the Impeachment Trier any more. But the Democrats didn’t do anything.

    4. Are Republican senators are spineless we don’t have a Republican Senate no more they have no moral values no more all they care about is the money Trump can give them and Putin it’s the Trump party I’ve chose money over country

    5. That was Lindsey Graham before Donald John Trump got a hold of him and Russia gave him $800,000 for his campaign

    1. Truthful Forever he is a con artist. That is what they do. They bleed people until they are ruined and moved to the next guy. All of these people were against him. He said something to them and now they are all drinking the kool aid. And con artists work with others. He will walk away from this. Everyone else will be destroyed.

  5. He is single and doesn’t need to look his wife, kids or grand children in the eyes…..He just has himself and Trump’s love tweets to guide him
