Washington Post Insinuates Andrew Johnson the Only Impeached President – Forgets Slick Willy

Guest post by Joe Hoft

How is President Trump doing?  According to the main stream media (MSM) and Democrat Party President Trump is close to impeachment.  In an editorial this weekend the Washington Post noted:

No American president has ever been removed for such abuses, although Andrew Johnson was impeached and came within a single vote of being convicted by the Senate and removed, and Richard Nixon resigned to avoid that fate.

The editorial goes on to suggest Trump should be impeached for firing former FBI Director James Comey.  It suggests again with no proof to date that Russia is the reason that President Trump beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in the Presidential race.  What nonsense!

What the WaPo omits in its left wing hit piece is that Democrat President Bill Clinton was the other Democrat who was impeached.  Only two Presidents have ever been impeached and both were Democrats – Johnson and Clinton.

President Clinton’s Administration was involved in investigations his entire eight years in office but he was never prosecuted, and thus his name ‘Slick Willy’ took root.  Finally, however, the odds caught up to him.

Former President Bill Clinton was impeached in December 1998 on two counts (perjury and obstructing justice) becoming the second President in US history to be impeached.  The impeachment was a result of his crimes related to a sexual harassment suit filed by Arkansas employee Paula Jones.

Leading up to his impeachment President Clinton became the first president to testify before a grand jury in his own defense. Rather than stepping down, the Clintons put the whole country through a disgusting and long trial process that ended in his impeachment and a settlement for $850,000 with Jones.

Although the Clintons and their media surrogates played the impeachment as a witch hunt against the victimized Clintons, this depiction couldn’t be further than the truth. The Jones case wasn’t an isolated incident.  Over the years a list of at least 17 women who were raped, assaulted or had affairs with Clinton was assimilated as reported at Heavy.com

Juanita Broaddrick | Kathleen Willey | Paula Jones | Sandra Allen James | Eileen Wellstone | Christy Zercher | Carolyn Moffet | Helen Dowdy | Becky Brown | Regina Blakely Hopper | Monica Lewinsky | Elizabeth Ward Gracen | Gennifer Flowers | Connie Hamzy | Dolly Kyle Browning | Sally Miller (Sally Perdue) | Lencola Sullivan

Bill Clinton didn’t suddenly find a cure to his sexual deviant behavior after his impeachment. He was a frequent flyer on a registered sex offender’s infamous jet called the “Lolita Express” beginning in the early 2000’s. Flight logs show Clinton took at least 26 trips aboard the plane — even apparently ditching his Secret Service detail for at least five of the flights.

The plane was owned by Jeffrey Epstein, a known pedophile billionaire who spent 13 months in prison and home detention for solicitation and procurement of minors for prostitution.  Epstein allegedly had a team who procured girls as young as 12 to service his friends on “Orgy Island,” an estate on Epstein’s 72-acre island, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Bill Clinton was there on numerous occasions.

One woman not on the list above, Bobbi Ann Williams, was an Arkansas prostitute who says her son, Danney, is Bill Clinton’s son.

Of course when the news that Impeached Clinton had an illegitimate son was presented on the Drudge Report, the Washington Post reported that this story was false.

Now the Washington Post is omitting reporting former President Bill Clinton was impeached but certifies that Donald Trump should be.  Go figure.
