President Donald Trump shared his real-time thoughts about the Clinton impeachment two decades ago. Those same views are echoing through the president’s fight today.
Clinton’s impeachment and Trump’s impeachment have marked differences, of course. While the first involved the denial of an extramarital affair, Trump’s alleged crime involves an attempt to extort the head of a foreign country in order to gain political dirt on a rival. This distinction, however, has been lost on Trump in recent months — particularly as he doubles down on insisting that he did not want a quid pro quo and simply wanted Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky to root out corruption.
Clinton’s denial in a Paula Jones deposition, Trump asserted back in the ’90s, was in fact illegal. “He could have said, ‘Look, I don’t want to discuss it,’” Trump suggested to Matt Lauer on “The Today Show“ in. “I’ve seen politicians in New York that are scoundrels get away with that for years. 'I don't talk about my personal life…’ He should have done that. Instead, he had to lie.”
Trump already knew how to define his enemies with vicious descriptions, calling Starr a “total wacko” in a Geraldo Rivera interview in“There’s the guy. I mean, he is totally off his rocker,” he said, sympathizing with Hillary Clinton, who he called “a very, very good person.” Cumulatively, all of Clinton’s errors — borne, Trump believed, out of his impulse to be “too much of a nice guy” — had placed him in an “embarrassing, compromising position,” he told Matthews on Hardball.
