[IMPEACH]: FEDERAL LAWSUIT TO SET ASIDE THE U.S. SENATE'S VERDICT IN THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL OF THE PRESIDENT by Jack Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Please distribute to whomever you wish: IMMEDIATE NEWS RELEASE (2/12/99) Contact: John B. Thompson, Attorney 1172 South Dixie Highway, Suite 111 Coral Gables, Florida 33146-2750 Phone & Fax: 305-666-4366 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Miami Attorney Jack Thompson announces today his intent to represent more than a thousand American citizens, including former Clinton loyalist and now leading Clinton critic, Larry Nichols, in a federal lawsuit setting aside the United States Senate's verdict in the impeachment trial of the President. The primary ground for this federal lawsuit was enunciated this week by Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter: The two Articles of Impeachment were "not proven" because there was no trial, as mandated by the United States Constitution. The House Trial Managers were prevented from pre- senting the House's case. The sham nature of the proceedings renders null and void any verdict therein. An additional basis voiding the verdict was rampant and unconscionable fact-finder misconduct, the ring leader of which was Iowa Senator Tom Harkin who, despite raising his hand and taking a solemn oath to put aside partisanship and fairly consider all the facts and the law, pronounced on the eve of the "trial" that the Articles of Impeachment were "a pile of dung" and then was joined by other Senators who continually violated their oaths by criticizing publicly the evidence. Further, Senator Robert Byrd publicly announced that the President was in fact guilty of "high crimes and misdemeanors" but stated he would not vote to convict because the economy is doing so well. Any and all Senators who violated their oaths, as did Senator Byrd, should have been barred, because of fact-finder misconduct, from voting on the Articles of Impeachment. This federal lawsuit will be filed shortly. Contact either Jack Thompson at 305-666-4366 or Larry Nichols at 501-329-1159.
