Stop the Presses: The GOP Calls for Impeachment
Listen to the voices or our Republican leaders:
"I am completely and utterly perplexed by those who argue that perjury and obstruction of justice are not high crimes and misdemeanors." — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
"We're a nation of laws, and that's what this case has always been about to me … He turned the judicial system upside down, every way but loose. He sent his friends to lie for him. He lied for himself." — Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
"Isn't it true that [the federal law on witness tampering] criminalizes anyone who corruptly persuades or engages in misleading conduct with the intent to influence the testimony of any person in an official proceeding?" — Senator James Inhofe (R-OK)
"I do not believe we can ignore the facts or disregard the Constitution so that the president can be placed above the law." — Senator Richard Burr (R-NC)
Are these quotes legit? Yes, and they all come from 1999, when the GOP was howling for the impeachment of Bill Clinton.
MoveOn wants to put these quotes in an ad and pay
Fox News to run it. The ad will cost $150,000. Donations accepted.
