. com... Let me make it easy for *you*... "Where there's smoke, there's fire". And, in the future when someone writes "Clinton was IMPEACHED", you don't have a leg to stand on... as usual. Have a good day... Jack It actually doesn't bother you that he was impeached. You know that. It bothers you (and others) that you can't get several facts to coexist in your minds without overloading your brain: The first is that he *did* have sex with Monica, but that this is less harmful to society than running a red light. The second is that if he'd been caught driving while drunk, you would've had no problem with it because you've probably done it, too. The third is that two large groups of important people still thought he was a good leader: The first group: American female voters (and it wasn't because they thought he was handsome). The second group: The rest of the world. Fourth, and most important is that you've probably never been in enough of a position of power for women to risk anything to get to you. Oh well. Join the club. |

In this country, you are *innocent* until *proven* guilty. Not if you're a Patriot (with a capital "P"), like Jack. |

That was verified by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court: "It is therefore ordered and adjudged that William Jefferson Clinton be and hereby is acquitted of the charges in the said articles," declared Chief Justice William Rehnquist in the Senate chamber. Sorry, you were outvoted by the United States Senate, you were also called a liar by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Get over it, Clinton was found INNOCENT by a jury of his peers. I'm sorry that your understanding of our legal system is lacking. You are either found guilty or not guilty. There is no finding of innocence. |

Spoken like a law breaking thug that's had many brushes with the courts... figures you'd be a LIEberal. Jack Uh, Jackoff...if the US House at that time was not controlled by rabid right-wing Republicans out for blood at any cost, the results of the vote would have been quite different. If Clinton had told the truth he wouldn't have been impeached. |

Well, he went through the impeachment process, which IS the law, at least according to Americans. The only "eyes" left are those of people whose heads are stuck so far up their Christian asses that they can't get over a sexual fling. |

Actually, your wrong... The only brush I've had with the laws was a traffic
ticket and my dog getting off his leash... Get your head out of the smelly area and see you have been beaten... AGAIN "Jack Goff" wrote in message . com... wrote: I'll make it easy on you guys...

in·no·cent
adj. 1.. Uncorrupted by evil, malice, or wrongdoing; sinless: an innocent child. 2.. 1.. Not guilty of a specific crime or offense; legally blameless: was innocent of all charges. 2.. Within, allowed by, or sanctioned by the law; lawful. ac·quit tr.v. ac·quit·ted, ac·quit·ting, ac·quits 1.. Law. To free or clear from a charge or accusation. Funny, they both say the same thing... Bill Clinton was found INNOCENT, he was ACQUITTED Sorry you guys can't seem to see this... It is very difficult for me to put things in laymen's terms if you want to change the rules. Here let me give you a reference point... http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stori...ougal.verdict/ McDougal not guilty on one count; mistrial declared on other two charges April 12, 1999 Web posted at: 5:51 p.m. EDT (2151 GMT) LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (AllPolitics, April 12) -- Whitewater figure Susan McDougal was found not guilty Monday of obstruction of justice but the judge declared a mistrial after jurors said they were "hopelessly deadlocked" on the criminal contempt charges. U.S. District Judge George Howard Jr. declared the mistrial on two criminal contempt counts just before jurors delivered the innocent verdict in the courtroom. I see here it doesn't say McDougal was acquitted... No it says the jury delivered the "innocent" verdict. Sorry Bert, you've been beat again "Bert Robbins" wrote in message ... wrote in message ink.net... And so the news says he was impeached... The news also said he was acquitted...
