What proved impossible?
During Clinton's term, Congress spent more than $35 million in oversight investigations, one committee alone (Govt Oversight & Refrom Comm under Repub Dan Burton) issued more than 1,000 subpoenas for documents (the WH complied with over 2 million pages) and required more than 150 senior Clinton administration staff (including the most senior WH staff) to testify.

Hell, Burton even i
nvestigated Clinton's cat, Socks.
That is above and beyond the more than $100 million spent by Ken Starr's Whitewater investigation, which he unilaterally expanded beyond the scope of his authorization as Independent Counsel.
Get your facts straight, dude.
