Russia Today? Why not quote Putin himself?

 

[Mark 1911]

The first paragraph of the article is full of some serious error. It states that, "Bill Clinton was impeached and removed from office for just one lie concerning the relatively trivial matter of an extramarital affair that did not concern his official duties".

Totally incorrect. Clinton was never removed from office. Yes, Clinton was impeached by the House (not the Senate) on perjury and obstruction of justice charges - not exactly the same as "for just one lie". The House also voted on impeachment for a second perjury charge and an abuse of power charge, but those votes didn't pass the House. The impeachment on the first two charges never made it through the Senate. A two-thirds Senate majority was required to convict and remove Clinton from office, but the two-thirds Senate majority was not met for either of the two charges. On the perjury charge, there were only 45 votes for conviction, and 55 votes against. The Senate vote on the obstruction of justice charge was split 50 votes for conviction and 50 votes against. So Clinton was never removed from office, and was actually acquitted by the Senate in January of 1999.

I was never a big fan of Clinton. But shabby journalism is simply shabby journalism.

I know, it's sad i have to go to foreign countries news organizations to find news on the USA. I guess some people are happy reading about what "insert celebrity here" did to their hair
