No Partisan Debate on This Fact: Impeachment.com Is for Sale

(Bloomberg) -- Way back in the internet's infancy -- the Clinton presidency -- an investor snapped up the domain name Impeachment.com. More than 20 years later, it's time to cash in.

Interested parties -- Republicans, Democrats or otherwise -- have until Dec. 16 to submit bids to intellectual property consulting firm Hilco Streambank, which is shopping the domain name.

“You could imagine one of the big red or blue fundraising platforms buying this and using it to their advantage,” Hilco Streambank Chief Executive Officer Gabe Fried said in an interview.

Fried's business, which has offices in Massachussetts and New York, sells domain names and internet addresses and deals with defunct brands -- for example it helped Dressbarn to sell off its intellectual property.

Fried said he's had some initial “kicking-the-tire inquiries” from what he characterizes as “wealthy people with a penchant for internet assets.”
