Former President Clinton said impeachment hearings would already be underway if a Democrat was in the White House and the special counsel’s Russia investigation was as far along as it is now.

“I think if the roles were reversed — now, this is me just talking, but it’s based on my experience — if it were a Democratic president, and these facts were present, most people I know in Washington believe impeachment hearings would have begun already,” Clinton said in an interview on “CBS Sunday Morning.”

“And most people I know believe that the press would have been that hard, or harder. But these are serious issues​,​”​ he added.​

​So far, Robert Mueller’s team has brought charges against 19 people and three companies — including three former Trump campaign aides — and got five guilty pleas, most notably from former national security adviser Michael Flynn. ​

Asked if news outlets — which Trump calls “Fake News” — have covered him and his administration fairly, Clinton said: “I think they have tried by and large to cover this investigation based on the facts.”

​But Clinton said he doesn’t like Trump’s bombastic style and frequent use of nicknames to mock enemies and opponents, including calling the former president’s wife “Crooked Hillary” during the campaign.

“I don’t like all this. I couldn’t be elected anything now ​be​cause I just don’t like embarrassing people​,” he said on CBS. “My mother would have whipped me for five days in a row when I was a little boy if I spent all my time badmouthing people like this.”

Clinton was impeached by the House in 1998 over his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky but was acquitted in the Senate.
