Yeah but the Republicans keep doing war crimes & the Democrats... Got a blow job? Passed Romneycare/Obamacare? One of these sets of prosecution is not like the others.

Clinton was charged with lying under oath, obstruction of justice, and abuse of power. The first and second charges were approved while the third was rejected. He was only found guilty of the obstruction charge.

The behavior of Ken Starr in this case was abhorrent. In my eyes, there was a degree of witness intimidation going on in this case.

Ironically, this SCOTUS ruling would have blocked Clinton's impeachment because Ken Starr was an Independent Counsel, which SCOTUS ruled cannot be used in such matters.

Which were none of the things he was initially accused of or investigated for. Ain't that funny

Are you seriously suggesting that Democrats don't commit war crimes?

You should probably look up Obama's track record on this. Killing Americans without due process, torture, killing civilians, etc. Not to mention other crimes like the massive amount of spying on Americans. Don't forget Snowden revealed all his stuff during Obama's reign and those crimes were still ongoing.
