I thought about this while driving to work today.
Back in the 90s, the Republicans made a big deal about Clinton committing obstruction of justice and wanted him to be impeached and removed from office. The Democrats argued that Clinton broke the law, but it is rather minor and the real bad guys were Ken Starr and the GOP.
Now flash forward about 20 years later. We have a situation where the Democrats are up in arms about Trump trying, but failing, to kill the Mueller report and asking his employees to change their testimony.
Perhaps I am missing something here. Why is Clinton's obstruction of justice okay, but Trump's obstruction of justice (lets not kid ourselves it was) worthy of being impeached and removed from office?
So which is worse or are they both worthy of being removed from office?
