    Sure they can. They can impeach him for pretty much anything they want, because the meaning of "high crimes and misdemeanors" is not laid out in the Constitution. All Congress has to do is decide that whatever he has done fits that description, and they can impeach him. The Senate will then decide if they think he did what he is accused of and whether or not it warrants a removal from office.

    Starr was initially appointed to investigate the suicide of deputy White House counsel Vince Foster and the Whitewater real estate deal from when Clinton was governor of Arkansas. When they couldn't find anything indictable there, along came Linda Tripp and her tale of Bill and Monica Lewinski. Clinton lied about that relationship and that lie got him impeached by the House but not convicted and removed by the Senate.

    I suspect the same thing will happen here, with the House impeaching and the Senate not convicting/removing, but unlike Clinton, Trump's presidency will not survive the process. I think it will leave a stain and a stink too big to get reelected next year.

    You do realize that keeping 2 books and using one for taxes and the other for financing is, in the very least, shady as ****, right? Properties are normally hooked up to electricity. Keeping 2 books, meanwhile, is not a normal practice and is often associated with tax fraud, bank fraud, or both.

    Not constitutionally can they impeach a president for anything they choose. It is not hard to discern what high crimes and misdemeanors meant to the framers. It is not the seemingly low hanging fruit that the Gladiators think they can just pick and run with.

    So Starr was appointed by the judges.

    Starr's power to expand is investigation came from the law & not Reno.

    What was Starr? an "INDEPENDENT" Counsel.

    Bidden wanted the prosecutor fired because he ( the prosecutor ) was corrupt.

    This is well documented by many individual sources independent of American Government. By all means, this prosecutor WAS the swamp and needed to go.

    Im not excusing Bidden Jr from being stupid and not avoiding a conflict of interest, but by all means, it appears that Bidden Jr or Sr in no way broke any laws. This is well settled by many sourced.

    That makes for a good story.

    If Reno directed then the Council was not independent.

    Seriously? You folks want to open that door? Lets start now, we KNOW Hillary committed a crime by just possessing a private email server in her basement, there is no question about that, guess its finally time to prosecute. We know that Obama had knowledge of it prior to it being shut down, so he should be indicted to. Not much point in waiting, if this is where you folks want to go, it will come back and bite, just like everything else, like Reid's Nuclear Option, and just about everything you folks do when you have power and whine about when you don't...

    There is nothing to prevent either H Clinton or Obama being prosecuted for a crime now. Th DOJ says there is no reasonable prospect of convicting H Clinton, and there is not even a suggestion that Obama committed any crimes.

    So there is that.

    The only thing preventing Hillary and Obama from being perp walked into prison is decorum and long standing precedent for administrations to not go after their predecessors. If you think Obama was aware or involved in criminal activity you must have been asleep during his failed presidency...

    Enlighten us to all the criminal activity of Barack Obama. I keep asking & none of you Trumpettes can answer. Why is that? Could it be all you do is post things that are not true?

    It is nailed. Anyone who still claims no quid pro quo is residing in Trumps backside.

    WOW! You people are still claiming Hillary's server was illegal?

    I can't stand the ignorance represented here by the right.

    Do you falsely believe that Reno or Clinton could not have had Starr dismissed?

    Wow, and I thought it couldn't get anymore juvenile.

    The supposed receiver of the alleged 'quid pro quo' denies there was a quid pro quo, but you, omnipresent and all seeing, just know that there was. You do understand the 'deduction, opinion, and believe' do not make facts?
