Скачать или смотреть What Republican Senators Said About Impeaching Clinton vs Trump

President Donald Trump says Special Counsel Robert Mueller is engaged in a “total witch hunt.” Top Republican senators, including Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham, seem to agree with him. In recent months, they have defended Trump from accusations of obstruction of justice and other crimes, dismissed the prospect of impeachment, and demanded Mueller bring his investigation to a close. But those very same Republican senators were obsessed with obstruction of justice, and with defending the special counsel, in the late 1990s, when the president being investigated was William Jefferson Clinton, not Donald John Trump. In this video, Mehdi compares and contrasts the ways in which those Republican senators approached Clinton’s impeachment crisis versus how they now treat Trump and the Russia investigation.
