There's a big difference - Bill Clinton having been acquitted doesn't bother me.....not even a little.

GOP made sure that at Bill's trial, there were witnesses and documents presented as evidence. Bill didn't block any witnesses throughout the entire process.

Bill was impeached for Obstruction of Justice...... he lied to Congress when he said he had not had sex with Monica. That was the entire impeachment.

And the country didn't even care. He made a formal apology to the entire country & he left office with a 67% favorability rating. A number that Trump will never see.

Every witness and document in the Clinton Senate trial was called/discovered during the House investigation. There were no new witnesses called in the Clinton impeachment trial, all had previously testified to the House.

The difference here is that the House didn't want any of their 18 witnesses in the Senate trial, they wanted new witnesses. None of the 18 witnesses had any direct knowledge except Vindman - and Vindman testified that there was no quid-pro-quo on the call.

The question you should be asking yourself is, if these 18 witnesses were enough to impeach, why were they not enough to convict? The answer is simple - there was never enough evidence to impeach, but they did it anyway.

And in President Bill Clinton's 1999 impeachment trial, three witnesses were called to testify: Monica Lewinsky, Clinton confidant Vernon Jordan and White House aide Sidney Blumenthal. These witnesses all sat for videotaped depositions conducted by the House managers and then relevant portions as determined by the Senate were played for the senators.
All this occurred after an exhaustive investigation by special counsel Kenneth Starr that began in 1994 and lasted until he delivered his voluminous report in 1998. During that four-year period, Starr was able to question under oath every witness he wanted from Clinton's close aides to even President Bill Clinton himself.
In contrast, in Trump's case, the President directed certain key witnesses "not to comply," with subpoenas. Trump feared what they would say under oath.

You're missing the point. Those three witnesses were called in the House, which made them available in the Senate trial. If the House had failed to interview them, they would not have testified in the Senate trial.

Witnesses and evidence are established in the House investigation, and become available to re-examine in the Senate trial. Nobody who testified in the Senate trial had not previously testified to the House investigation.

I've explained the same thing over-and-over again. If you still don't get it, you never will.

The senate took a vote on witnesses for Trump.
Secondly, Trump blocked witnesses from testifying to the house. An "innocent man", was worried about what the witnesses would say under oath.

Trump exercised executive privilege, which is his legal right. The House chose NOT to take the matter to court (which was their legal right), but they chose not to.

Obama asserted executive privilege in order to withhold certain Department of Justice documents related to the Operation Fast and Furious controversy ahead of a United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for refusing to produce the documents.

Bush Jr did it, Clinton did it, Bush Sr. did it, Reagan did it, Ford did it.....GEORGE WASHINGTON did it!
