EYEWITNESS NEWS ANCHOR PATRICK MCMURTRY TELLS US MORE ABOUT THE TROUT IN THE CLASSROOM PROGRAM IN THIS WEEK'S WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE. Amanda Craig's school is here after a nearly year long committement to raising a bunch of fingerlings ready to be released today. That's a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun, especially today when these little guys get to go free, and their little managers get to feel like proud parents watching their little ones leave the nest. They learned a lot this year. That's some good stuff, you can tell these kids are committed to their trout. They have been since the very beginning. That's the beginning of wildlife management, and maybe one day one of these bright kids will make a profession out of working with animals.

Americans are right to be angry about it and I am angry about it.

Return to Story IndexIMPEACHMENT TALKS
AS KRISTINE FRAZAO REPORTS, IT'S BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF ANOTHER TIME IN OUR HISTORY. IT'S A MOMENT TRAPPED IN ONE OF THE DARKEST TIMES IN AMERICAN POLITICAL HISTORY, AFTER A LONG INVESTIGATION REVEALED A PRESIDENT WHO HAD SPIED ON POLITICAL OPPONENTS, HAD THE I-R-S AUDIT HIS ENEMIES...AND LIED REPEATEDLY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. NATS OF NIXON IT'S A HISTORY SOME ARE NOW TRYING TO RESURRECT I've never seen anything like this in the past except in the Nixon years. INHOFE RADIO SOUND This is going to go down as the biggest cover-up in history. ( butt together) people may be starting to use the 'I word' " before long. "The 'I word' meaning impeachment." "Yeah." SO IS THERE A CONNECTION? Distinguished Professor of History, American University Watergate was a unique episode in American history as a fundamental attempt to undermine our democracy and undermine our government. 0051 (WHITE FLASH OR CUTAWAY) we really havent seen anything like that before or since. ALLAN LICHTMAN IS A DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR OF HISTORY AT AMERICAN UNIVERSITY AND SAYS DESPITE THE DIFFERENCES, HE'S NOT SURPRISED SOME CONNECTIONS ARE BEING MADE. Allan J. Lichtman Distinguished Professor of History, American University Richard Nixon also used the IRS to go after his enemies. We dont know of course if president obama was in any way involved in the irs targeteing of onservative groups but it is somewhat Nixonian SOME REPUBLICANS ALSO POINT TO A CHANGED STORY ABOUT THE TERRORIST ATTACK IN BENGHAZI LAST SEPTEMBER THAT KILLED FOUR AMERICANS AS A COVER-UP...AND RECENT ADMISSIONS BY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY SPIED ON ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS BY SEIZING PHONE RECORDS AND RECORDINGS. A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY HERE- IT'S CERTAINLY NOT THE FIRST TIME THESE CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN DRAWN. BUT LITCHMAN CAUTIONS... A RUSH TO RAISE THE IMPEACHMENT FLAG TO OUST A PRESIDENT MAY BACKFIRE AS IT DID DURING THE BILL CLINTON IMPEACHMENT ERA. They made it look political and low and behold the Democrats actually gained seats in teh mid term elections of 1998, the first time since the administration of FDR in 1934 that the presidential party had won a mid term election. I'M KF REPORTING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS DENYING THESE CLAIMS. HIS SPOKESMAN JAY CARNEY SAYS PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE OBAMA NIXON COMPARISONS NEED TO CHECK THEIR HISTORY.
