D. They thought Clinton had been impeached more for political reasons than for wrongdoing.

Explanation:

During the 1990s, politics in the United States were brutally partisan. Besides Clinton's accusations for sexual harassment, perjury and obstruction of Justice, the House of Representatives was significantly divided when voting for his impeachment, and some people believe he was removed from office more for political reasons than constitutional ones.
