HISTORY IN THE MAKING!
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Wednesday, September 9, 1998 -- Referral, containing substantial and
credible information that President William Jefferson Clinton committed
acts that may constitute grounds for impeachment, was submitted to the
U.S. House of Representatives by The Office of the Independent Counsel
(OIC), Judge Kenneth W. Starr.
December, 1998 -- The Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of
Representatives submitted to the full House its recommendation for
Impeachment of the President of the United States.
December, 1998 -- The U.S. House of Representatives voted to impeach
William Jefferson Clinton, President of the United States, for high crimes
and misdemeanors.
December, 1998 -- The U.S. House of Represenatives submitted Articles of
Impeachment, based upon acts of perjury and obstruction of justice
committed by the President of the United States, to the U.S. Senate for
trial to remove from office the President, as provided by The
Constitution
of the United States of America.
Thursday, January 7, 1999 -- The U.S. Senate began the Impeachment Trial
of the President of the United States.
Thursday, February 11, 1999 -- The New York Times reported on the
front page that President Bill Clinton was prepared to put all his efforts
into defeating as many of the House impeachment managers as possible in
the 2000 elections and restore control of Congress to the Democrats. The
Times article infuriated Republicans, who accused the president of
arrogantly seeking revenge against the 13 House "managers" who pressed
allegations of perjury and obstruction of justice on the floor of the
Senate.
Friday, February 12, 1999 -- The U.S. Senate voted to acquit William
Jefferson Clinton from removal from office for perjury and obstruction of
justice as recommended in the Articles of Impeachment as submitted to the
Senate by the U.S. House of Representatives in December 1998.
Friday, February 12, 1999 -- President Bill Clinton addressed the nation
from the White House Rose Garden in a short statement regarding his
acquittal. Included in his remarks was "I want to say again to the
American people how profoundly sorry I am for what I said and did to
trigger these events and the great burden they have imposed on the
Congress and on the American people." He also said "This can be and must
be a time of reconciliation and renewal for America." A reporter asked
whether in his heart he could truly forgive the political rivals who had
pressed for his removal from office. President Clinton replied "I believe
any person who asks for forgiveness has to be prepared to give it."
Friday, February 12, 1999 --
Capital
Hill Blue reported that following acquittal this day, the Clinton
White House began a full campaign of retribution against House impeachment
managers and other perceived enemies of the administration. The White
House had collected new dossiers, complete with financial records, FBI
investigative information and IRS reports on these people.
Saturday, February 13, 1999 -- The Dallas Morning News -- "The
impeachment battle is over, but it's only a cease-fire in the scandal
wars. . . . Independent Counsel Kenneth W. Starr is still investigating
President Clinton and his associates on a variety of fronts, some of which
could rekindle the fire that sparked impeachment. . . . Above all looms
the big question: Will Starr try to obtain a criminal indictment of
President Clinton before his term expires in 2001?" "The Office of
Independent Counsel also is pursuing an outgrowth of the [Monica]
Lewinsky investigation. . . ."
Kosovo in Crisis
Wednesday, March 24, 1999 -- Without prior congressional approval,
President Clinton ordered the bombing of Yugoslavia with U.S. military
involved as part of a NATO force. Russia, a long-time Yugoslavia ally,
objected.

safely to base.
