Donald Trump should be held to the "Clinton standard".

Bill Clinton was impeached. Granted, he was not convicted in the Senate, but he was impeached. He was subpoenaed to answer questions under oath. Remember, "it depends on what the definition of "is" is?"

Bill Clinton was charged with perjury under oath and obstruction of justice. Republicans insisted that no one was above the law, not even the President of the United States.

Bill Clinton was investigated from everything from Whitewater to a blue dress and having oral sex with a 22-year old intern. Should we expect anything less with Donald Trump?

He should be held to the "Clinton standard" at the very least.

After all... An impeachment motion was presented just a few days ago and overwhelmingly voted down.

...as were the Republicans in 1998.

This vote was the first shot across the bow, I am hoping.

It would not make sense to keep such a dangerous person in such a powerful position for any reason.
