As always we are going to disagree completely. I'm saying that the actions of the two parties in 1998 and 2019 are broadly equivalent.
Are you seriously suggesting Trump has done nothing meriting impeachment?
I'm saying both Presidents were flawed and acted as though they were above the law.
The article you quoted certainly indicates that there was significant opposition to Trump from the start, which of course I already knew. What it doesn't suggest for one second was that was Democratic party policy - official or unofficial - back in Jan 2017.
The internet was in relative infancy in the early years of Clinton's presidency. There is little point spending time looking for articles indicating when the campaign by Republicans to impeach him started. If I found something similar to your link, I'm confident you wouldn't accept it anyway.
However, I will pass on a link from Nov 4 2016 which indicated that if Hillary Clinton had won, Republicans were planning to make her presidency a "living hell" from the very start.

Of course, with Trump using 'lock her up' as a rallying cry, the party base had become highly polemicized throughout the campaign.
Of course Brexit has had a similarly divisive effect in the UK and I don't see that being resolved any time soon.
I see both US parties as having similar faults. You only see one side.
We'll never agree and its probably time for me to bow out of this thread again
