“I think he did commit an impeachable offense—that’s why I voted that way. And there are a lot of differences. President Clinton put his hand on the Bible, swore to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. And then he lied. He perjured himself… Trump didn’t perjure himself. He was never under oath.”
— Rep. Steve Chabot (R-OH), one of two Republicans currently on the House Judiciary Committee who voted to impeach Bill Clinton in 1998, quoted by The Atlantic.
