The fact of the matter is, the grand jury did not find evidence enough to indict Clinton on any of these charges. Case closed... literally.

If this grand jury finds enough evidence to indict Libby, Rove, or(please please) Cheney... then we're talkning a whole 'nother ballgame. The Right can claim all they want that we said "perjury and obstruction are no big deal"... but the fact is, that's up to the grand jury.

And by my memory, most people were not claiming they were "no big deal". They were claiming that, in this case (a consensual sexual affair) they A) were not proven (by the grand jury or Congress) and B) did not rise to the level of a high crime worthy of impeachment. It was up to the grand jury re the criminal case, and they did not indict.

Congress can do whatever they want re impeachment. "High crimes and misdemeanors" is much more loosely defined. My memory recalls that most Dems in Congress simply felt that this did not rise to the level of an impeachable offense. I think, should Cheney or Bush become involved, a case for impeachment would be much easier to make here.
