   15 months? That in itself is a travesty. He and Bernie Ward should be put in the same cell so they can share notes. There should be no statute of limitations on child abuse.

   The Great Double standard? Why would you omit Denny’s hypocritical 1998 speech about impeaching Bill Clinton?

   The very men who went after Clinton were sexual abusers themselves. Welcome to the corrupt American Political System.

   Dewey do you any idea how insane you sound most of the time?

   This is ignorant lying: “The very men who went after Clinton were sexual abusers themselves.”

   Those who impeached Clinton are not all ‘sexual abusers.”

   Also you, who boasts about reading the original documents rather than relying on media, should know what charges were brought that caused Clinton to be impeached:

   ARTICLE ONE…willfully corrupted and manipulated the judicial process of the United States for his personal gain and exoneration, impeding the administration of justice:

   On August 17, 1998, William Jefferson Clinton swore to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth before a Federal grand jury of the United States. Contrary to that oath, William Jefferson Clinton willfully provided perjurious, false and misleading testimony to the grand jury concerning one or more of the following:

   (1) the nature and details of his relationship with a subordinate Government employee;

   (2) prior perjurious, false and misleading testimony he gave in a Federal civil rights action brought against him;

   (3) prior false and misleading statements he allowed his attorney to make to a Federal judge in that civil rights action; and

   (4) his corrupt efforts to influence the testimony of witnesses and to impede the discovery of evidence in that civil rights action.

   ARTICLE TWO

   (1) On December 23, 1997, William Jefferson Clinton, in sworn answers to written questions asked as part of a Federal civil rights action brought against him, willfully provided perjurious, false and misleading testimony in response to questions deemed relevant by a Federal judge concerning conduct and proposed conduct with subordinate employees.

   (2) On January 17, 1988, William Jefferson Clinton swore under oath to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth in a deposition given as part of a Federal civil rights action brought against him. Contrary to that oath, William Jefferson Clinton willfully provided perjurious, false and misleading testimony in repose to questions deemed relevant by a Federal judge concerning the nature and details of his relationship with a subordinate government employee and his corrupt efforts to influence the testimony of that employee.

   ARTICLE THREE

   (1) On or about December 17, 1997, William Jefferson Clinton corruptly encouraged a witness in a Federal civil rights action brought against him to execute a sworn affidavit in that proceeding that he knew to be perjurious, false and misleading.

   (2) On or about December 17, 1997, William Jefferson Clinton corruptly encouraged a witness in a Federal civil rights action brought against him to give perjurious, false and misleading testimony if and when called to testify personally in that proceeding.

   (3)On or about December 28, 1997, William Jefferson Clinton corruptly engaged in, encouraged, or supported a scheme to conceal evidence that had been subpoenaed in a Federal civil rights action brought against him.

   (4)Beginning on or about December 7, 1997, and continuing through and including January 14, 1998, William Jefferson Clinton intensified and succeeded in an effort to secure job assistance to a witness in a Federal civil rights action brought against him in order to corruptly prevent the truthful testimony of that witness in that proceeding at a time when the truthful testimony of that witness would have been harmful to him.

   (5) On January 17, 1998, at his deposition in a Federal civil rights action brought against him, William Jefferson Clinton corruptly allowed his attorney to make false and misleading statements to a Federal judge characterizing an affidavit, in order to prevent questioning deemed relevant by the judge. Such false and misleading statements were subsequently acknowledged by his attorney in a communication to that judge.

   (6) On or about January 18 and January 20-21, 1998, William Jefferson Clinton related a false and misleading account of events relevant to a Federal civil rights action brought against him to a potential witness in that proceeding, in order to corruptly influence the testimony of that witness.

   (7) On or about January 21, 23 and 26, 1998, William Jefferson Clinton made false and misleading statements to potential witnesses in a Federal grand jury proceeding in order to corruptly influence the testimony of those witnesses. The false and misleading statements made by William Jefferson Clinton were repeated by the witnesses to the grand jury, causing the grand jury to receive false and misleading information.

   ARTICLE FOUR

   Using the powers and influence of the office of President of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in disregard of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has engaged in conduct that resulted in misuse and abuse of his high office, impaired the due and proper administration of justice and the conduct of lawful inquiries, and contravened the authority of the legislative branch and the truth-seeking purpose of a coordinate investigative proceeding in that, as President, William Jefferson Clinton, refused and failed to respond to certain written requests for admission and willfully made perjurious, false and misleading sworn statements in response to certain written requests for admission propounded to him as part of the impeachment inquiry authorized by the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States.

   William Jefferson Clinton, in refusing and failing to respond, and in making perjurious, false and misleading statements, assumed to himself functions and judgments necessary to the exercise of the sole power of impeachment vested by the Constitution in the House of Representatives and exhibited contempt for the inquiry.

   In doing this, William Jefferson Clinton has undermined the integrity of his office, has brought disrepute on the Presidency, has betrayed his trust as President, and has acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.

   To read the Articles as presented follow the link; I excerpted from the original.

   It wasn’t the act; it was the cover up…it always is.

   Bill Clinton is also accused of sexually and physically abusing at least six women, maybe more, and most of them his subordinates.

   Hastert is seen as a shameful person of disrepute. It’s said he has brought shame on the Republican Party.

   Bill and Hillary Clinton are both Democrats accused of terrible misdeeds. They are protected and promoted by their party and the media and so far, no shame has befallen them or the Democrat Party.

   I repeat: “…when will the shame of the double standard arrive?”
