GOP, Democrats Switch Roles 20 Years After Clinton Impeachment

Lanny Davis became a TV news staple during President Bill Clinton's second term as the White House lawyer who battled a Senate investigation into Clinton fundraising practices, with a focus on suspected Chinese attempts to influence the 1996 election.

The Clinton White House constantly gnawed at Starr's motives and reputation.

If Mueller has learned from Starr's missteps, Trump may have learned from Clinton.

Twenty years ago, Democrats were arguing that everyone lies about sex; hence Clinton's less-than-truthful statements under oath were not worthy of impeachment.

Democrats credited the strong economy under Clinton for his high approval.

After the GOP-controlled House voted to impeach Clinton in 1998, the Senate failed to convict and remove the president.

Conviction requires a two-thirds vote, and the GOP Senate voted against convicting Clinton 55-45.
