Science is the process of crash testing ideas: a scientist does not coddle an idea, or design tests to make it work. The scientist rams the idea into a brick wall head-on at 60mph, and knowledge is gained by examining the pieces. If the theory is solid, the pieces are from the wall.
And after all of those days spent piously studying his Bible, what is his reward? He gets strung up on charges and almost gets fired!!
I got news for ya, Billy me boyo. Even your most fervent supporters were admitting that you were guilty, just that you weren’t ”suborning perjury” and is also a CRIME. (Both of them are felonies, in fact, which means mandatory jail time.)
There is also the fact that you - and those others - were telling these lies in an effort to block the legal process from functioning properly, which is so that the innocent are freed and the guilty are punished. That is called “Obstruction of Justice”, and is also a felony.
Now, we come to the specifics. Billy, you were Governor when you raped a woman and assaulted several others. But you never spent so much as a day in jail for any of these crimes.
You were President when you were committing adultery (a crime in Washington, DC, btw), and then when you were under oath, you (who got your J.D. - Juris Doctor - degree from Yale) decided to quibble over the meaning of the word “is”, dissemble, prevaricate, and outright LIE under oath. That oath carries the penalties defined in law for perjury. You knew it. You did it anyway.
You. Broke. The. Law.
Except that when you do that as President, you cannot be punished for it. You have to be removed from office first. That process requires a majority of the members of the House to agree that you most likely broke the law to such an EGREGIOUS extent that the only possible solution is that you be removed from office to face the penalties of the law that you so EGREGIOUSLY violated. That was done, over your outraged protestations of innocence.
The next step was one that even Richard Nixon didn’t want to go through - to become the first elected President to be Impeached. You got hauled before the entire Senate, with the Chief Justice sitting as Judge. The process was followed, and you were found to be not guilty enough. (Darrell Hammond put it so well that Saturday Night, when he said, in your best Arkansan drawl, “I. Am. Bulletproof.")
You weren’t thrown in jail. You weren’t removed from office. You weren’t even so much as officially reprimanded, since nobody had the time to get a few hundred million signatures.
So you went on to take campaign donations from Communist China (and it was surely just a coincidence that your bagman Vice President managed to raise a few million from Buddhist monks, what with them being the well-known entreprenuers that they are) and from the sister of an escaped felon (whom you accidentally pardoned, and who then immediately turned around to help funnel Saddam’s Oil For Food moneys to UN officials).
You never spent a single day in jail. You plea-bargained a large fine (paid by your lackeys, so that you didn’t even have to open your wallet for subway fare) and your law license (which you were about to lose anyway), but it’s YOU that were treated “egregiously”.
Tell ya what, skippy. Take your wife, your muchly-pitied daughter, and your dog (oh, wait, he was accidentally killed - I question the timing) and scurry back into the obscurity you so richly deserve.
And take Jimmy the Rabbit-Killer with you.
