Then with a low raspy voice I answer, “You remember meeting me and haven’t said anything up until now.

It became evident to me that there was a very serious political element at work. I know that the term impeachment was bandied about. I do not believe, however, that the word was used with the ferocity it was more recently or that it was in the Nixon years. ↗
