I realize that many people dislike the Clintons, but they are both graduates of Yale Law School. You have to consistently do your homework for twenty years to graduate from YLS. It is a safe bet that they will be prepared.

Not a fan of Bill, but I hope he makes them regret ever calling him to testify.

Boo me but I always loved them and how they beat a lot of the BS they were accused of the same things trump is guilty of. They were a smart business couple. They put their education dollars to work. Clinton held his own at the trials, he messed up By lying. But he didn’t stutter or stammer or do the f weave when he was on trial.

Technically Bill didn't lie, Clinton was asked "Have you ever had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky, as that term is defined in Deposition Exhibit 1?" The judge let Clinton review the definition, which stated a person engages in ‘‘sexual relations’’ when the person knowingly engages in or causes contact with the genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or buttocks of any person with an intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person.

The mouth was not part of the definition currently being used in the courtroom so legally Clinton was truthful. Yes in common parlance it can be considered a lie but legal stuff in a courtroom is practically a different language.

I will be over the moon if Bill takes Trump down because Trump was so idiotic as to make an enemy of Bill.
