Rubio suggests Hillary Clinton could be subject to impeachment as a former official

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) suggested that proceeding with the impeachment trial of a former official could lead, for instance, to the future impeachment of former secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

Rubio’s question did not mention Clinton by name, but he alluded to the “Lock her up!” chants targeting Clinton that Donald Trump encouraged as a candidate in their 2016 presidential contest.

“Is it not true that under this new precedent, a future House facing partisan pressure to ‘lock her up’ could impeach a former secretary of state, and a future Senate forced to put her on trial and potentially disqualify from any future office?” Rubio asked the impeachment managers and Trump’s attorneys.

In response, Rep. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Md.) noted that Trump was impeached while still in office for conduct while he was the president. The hypothetical, he said, “has no bearing on this case.”

I guess it's because his mother used to sell him to old men in the streets all the time. Never taught him any manners.

I've been a bit out of touch lately so if it's been in the news I've likely missed it.
