We took a look at Bill Clinton's impeachment trial in 1998 vs. Donald Trump's today.

President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate resembles that of Bill Clinton's in 1999, but there are differences.

For another, partisanship has increased over the past 21 years, which means senators are less likely to cross party lines when voting. How the trials – and the times – compare:In the Clinton trial, Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist started the first day of House manager presentations by saying, "Well, let's begin. Fight fair."

Roberts cited the impeachment trial of Judge Robert Swayne in 1905, when an objection was made to a manager using the word "pettifogging."

BIG impeachment lovefest

Bill has more / better hair

George Conway: Trump charges are 'much, much more serious' than those against ClintonConservative lawyer George Conway says the impeachment trial is “a very specific day of reckoning” for Republicans. “Are they going to stand for lies instead of truth? Are they going to stand for gaslighting instead of reality?” After Trump is impeached & found guilty the GOP is next on the chopping block 😉😉 Yes they are. Now what?

Wonder why.. dem cover up! Bolton would sing like a canary, & he can talk for DAYS, losing people in a mountain of detail & you are taking a CHANCE that it might help the Dem case🤔 Hunter Biden would plead the 5th straight away, & that would LOOK AWFUL. It’s not worth the risk to an already WEAK CASE🤔

The Trump Trial Isn’t a Criminal Proceeding, and the Senators Aren’t JurorsThose trying to interpret the Trump impeachment trial often try to make the proceedings more relatable to the public by comparing them to criminal trials they may have participated in as jurors or spectators The rules are way too lax for a trial of this magnitude. They defy logic. There should also be a check on the managers/counsel because it’s appalling how some of them (specifically Sekulow and Cipollone) are behaving. It’s disrespectful to all of us.
