What are you even trying to say?
The "people" who placed these officers in power?
The electoral college?
You think those guys should be called up again to consider removing Trump?

Of course whatever you're trying to say, it just means at the Democrats are wrong.

Now tell me about the magical thinking or special pleading you use to say that the impeachment in 1998 was correct.

In 98 the independent prosecutor came back and made affirmative declarations that clinton was guilty on multiple FELONIES inclyding perjury, suborning perjury paid a settlement on sexual assault, was disbarred etc.  He should have been removed.

In this case there is no such declaration.  You have an anonymous complaint that doesn't meet the rules of evidence for a criminal proceeding and doesn't point to any criminal or illicit activity. Even still in 1998 the Republican majority in the house still allowed a floor vote to officially authorized the impeachment proceeding and gave the minority certain representation rights is for is issuing subpoenas interviewing Witnesses Etc. In this particular case the Democratic majority has not called for a floor vote to officially authorized and impeachment inquiry. Have also block the president's attorneys and certain members of the minority from participating in witness interviews. There is no comparison between the two processes.

I would have voted to remove Clinton as well.  Inviting an employee to have sex with you in secret is always wrong.  It always implies an abuse of power.

As for this pleading to the "rules" - laughable.  The House makes and enforces its own rules at will.  Once a resolution has a majority vote out of the House, or a house committee issues a subpoena, then the Senate, the President, the Judges, etc. can all have their say about it.  While it's in the House, though, they can handle their business however they see fit.
