[h=2]Flashback: Schumer Worked ‘To Explore Every Possible Way To Avoid A Trial’ For Clinton Impeachment[/h]

Chuck Schumer’s hypocrisy is on full display in a video surfacing from twenty years ago, in which the Senate Minority Leader said he would “explore every possible way to avoid a trial” for former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment.
Schumer recently demanded an in-depth trial for President Trump’s impeachment from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
“Senate Democrats believe strongly, and I trust Senate Republicans agree, that this trial must be one that is far, that considers all of the relevant facts,” he said.
He also alleged that the Constitution demands such a trial.
In 1999, like many of his colleagues, Schumer sang a very different tune.
“I hope a trial doesn’t go forward,” the New York Democrat told reporters. “And I am starting from this moment on to explore every possible way to avoid a trial.”
