And Kirsten Gillibrand? Why does she act as if she's free of Clinton blackmail worries? Simple. She didn't enter the House of Representatives until 2007. The Clintons never assembled blackmail files on her.. . . "So the national Democrats had excellent reason to resent Bill Clinton in1999 and every motive to seek revenge. And the Republicans gave them the golden trigger by which to get that revenge: impeachment and conviction. All that would have been needed was for at least seventeen of the forty-five Democrat senators to vote to convict Clinton of one of the impeachment charges that had been voted on by the House. That's about 40%.
"Instead, all forty-five Democrat senators stood, phalanx-like, behind Clinton.
"Why did they do this? He had caused them nothing but electoral losses and loss of power. Why not just dump him in 1999 and then complain to the public about how unfair it was? Gore would have been golden for at least six more years and probably ten. He probably would have had coattails, too, at least in 2000.
"Did the Democrats stand by Clinton because they sincerely believed that the Constitution was in peril if the Republicans could get away with getting rid of one of theirs? That was Clinton's defense, but the premise is so absurd as to be laughable." . . .
. . .
"So why did the Democrats stand by Clinton in 1999, when it would have been to their advantage to get rid of him then, as well as giving them the chance to wreak their revenge on him?
"Only one reason comes to mind: blackmail files. The Clintons did have those900 FBI raw files. They also had their own minions of paid hacks. Does anyone think that only Republicans' dossiers were contained in those files? The Clintons must have had dirt on everybody, of both parties. That's an obvious reason for the iron hold Clinton was able to wield over them." . . .
