The Democrat Impeachment Circus
From a process standpoint, both the Nixon and Clinton impeachments were structured to avoid the appearance of partisan drama. This is the exact opposite of the clown show we are witnessing in this Democrat-controlled process.

House Democrats are taking to their fainting couches over the impeachment of President Trump. They’re underscoring the “seriousness†of their effort, speaking in hushed tones of a “constitutional crisis,†or raging about the need for the president to be “held accountable†and “order to be restored.â€
They do all of this, meanwhile, against a backdrop of an “impeachment inquiry†that effectively is tossing parliamentary order out the window, upending every impeachment precedent on the books.
Even the New York Times has admitted that “Democrats are deviating in key ways from the way the House launched the two presidential impeachment inquiries of the modern era.â€
It starts with the fact of the impeachment inquiry itself. In both the Clinton and Nixon administrations, the House Judiciary Committee’s investigation into potential impeachable offenses was given credibility by full votes in the House.
House Democrats have had no such vote. Probably because House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) knows it would fail.
