...office? History offers little guidance, but one of the most recent impeachments doesn't bode well for him: U.S. District Judge Walter Nixon of Mississippi was impeached and removed in 1989. He had allegedly accepted a bribe, but that's not what got him impeached. Lying to the grand jury...
...could almost hear the country go quiet as it started to turn the pages. After eight months of watching a grand jury at work, we've become one. Court is in session around the dining-room table, at work and at church and, ultimately, in the halls of Congress. For month after month as this story unfolded, the American people have shown their sense of fairness: pressed for their judgments by pollsters, they said, again and again, let's give him the benefit of the doubt until all the evidence is in. They know that juries are supposed...
...Starr's long journey down the dirt road takes the reader past things most would rather not see, to places they would rather not go.

Starr alleges no fewer than five Clinton perjuries in the Jones deposition on the issue of whether the President and Lewinsky had a sexual affair, three more in Clinton's Aug. 17 grand-jury testimony (claiming, for example, that he hadn't touched Lewinsky's breasts or genitals) and one lie in his televised statement to the American people that night, when he said his Jones testimony had been "legally accurate." The President, Starr also alleges, lied when he claimed he couldn't recall being...
