On Feb. 11, 1999 — one day before President Bill Clinton was acquitted in his impeachment trial before the Senate — Sen. Charles Schumer penned a passionate letter, outlining why the process had taken an unfair toll on the nation. He noted that the president believed he had not crossed a line, and praised the large threshold needed to get a conviction in the Senate. He also cheered the American people for opposing impeachment. A Gallup poll in December 1998 found that 35 percent of Americans were pro-impeachment, with 73 percent of Republicans and only 12 percent of Democrats in favor.

I'm sure Schumer has no concerns over his past lying; so this won't come back to bite him.

This country DESPERATELY needs term limits! How many good, bright young people hesitate going into politics because it is so corrupt and corrupting. Scores of people (obviously, not all) just puttin' in their time so they can get their pensions; and while there, go-along to get-along, and don't ever make waves. That's why they hate Trump. That.s not him.

Leave it to the Post to scew it up. Note the pic where its says Schumer is arguing against impeachment in 1999. Problem is, sitting next to Schumer is the famous, ran a homosexual prostitute house out of his DC home, Rep Bawney Fwank. Its a pic from the House, not Senate. Then Schumer was in the House, not Senate. So pic is well before 1999 and impeachment. But nobody at the Post has a clue about accuracy in reporting. Its the subtle little details of the lie that make the Kneepads so good at fake news.

The editor said, ''Get a picture, any picture!'' Give the composing room credit for at least being sure it was Chuck U.

Schumer is another democrats whose shelf life has expired. The democrat party will have to move beyond identity politics, ''victim'' pandering, and party above country politics. Of course, it would be better if the party dies from apathy...

Whoa, Chuckie. So you are quite the chameleon changing your colors like that, no? In 1999, all passionate and can't we all just get along to 2020, get Trump, get Trump, get Trump. You continue to disgust, Chuckie.

Its not just Chuckie 'Chainsaw' Schumer, its ALL Leftists. Whatever they say is for the mantra of the moment, 10 minutes later they are saying the opposite. Bottom Line, NONE of them can ever be trusted no matter the issue. It is way past time to make COMMUNISM and SOCIALISM ILLEGAL and get rid of these defective entities!

It only comes back to bite him IF THE PRESS AND CABLE mention it. And they don't.

The stupid NY Post refers to a Quinnipiac poll that says 50% of Americans are in favor of impeachment.
That is a Bee ESS poll, and is an outlier. In a country that is divided almost equally, that would say that almost every Democrat (plus some Republicans) is in favor of impeachment. I say Bee Ess.
There have to be some reasonably intelligent Democrats who like what Trump has done for the economy, or who are tired of the 24/7/365 impeachment nonsense to the detriment of all else, or who have the common sense to realize that they will never get 67 votes.
Of all the Fake Polls out there, the Post picks the most outrageously Fake Poll.
