It prob felt like impeachment because the long-drawn-out Starr investigation was continuously leaking titillating details to the press. Starr leaked over the press even more than Clinton leaked over Monica's dress, knowodahmsayin?
Being impeached doesn't mean being removed from office. The impeachment is the "trial".

I think they just make it up as they go...

Wiki on Clinton’s impeachment trial in the senate

Quote:
A resolution on rules and procedure for the trial was adopted unanimously on the following day; however, senators tabled the question of whether to call witnesses in the trial.

^ Well, that's something to take up with Anteater, who led me right off the fact map into that favourite GOP terrain: the land of lies. As a Russian political saying apparently has it, "If you tell a lie often enough, it becomes the truth," which is what Trump, Barr and co seem to be banking on.

I wonder if the congressmen with legal backgrounds are sitting back secretly hating their colleagues for being law retards during any kind of congressional investigation?

They don’t even pay any ****ing attention.

Just imagine you were in congress during the whole PMRC thing and you had to sit through those plebes figuring out music and art.

^ You'd have to lose that attitude if you went to an English school, OH!
"It isn't about who wins or loses, it's about how you play the game." For a hundred years, this had all the force of an eleventh commandment for Brit schoolchildren.;)

The British Empire played to win.
