GOP Congressman Already Floating Impeachment For Hillary Clinton

WASHINGTON -- Hillary Clinton isn't president yet. She hasn't even won the Democratic nomination. But a Republican congressman is already getting ready for the opportunity to impeach her -- on the first day of her hypothetical presidency. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) recently spoke with talk radio host Matt Murphy and said the real issue with Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state is "how many lives she put at risk by violating all rules of law that are designed to protect America's top-secret and classified information from falling into the hands of our geopolitical foes who then might use that information to result in the deaths of Americans."Brooks added Republicans are going to make sure this issue follows Clinton into office, should she be elected president in 2016.

"And in my judgement, with respect to Hillary Clinton, she will be a unique president if she is elected by the public next November, because the day she's sworn in is the day that she's subject to impeachment because she has committed high crimes and misdemeanors," he said.


Brooks' office did not return a request for future details about the impeachment plan.

Clinton is scheduled to testify Thursday before the House Select Committee on Benghazi. The committee has taken a beating in recent days after a couple of self-inflicted wounds from its own members questioning the nonpartisan nature of the panel.

Govt and Corp servers are hacked every day.

Hillary did nothing other politicians are and have been doing.

Idiots. The White House is ours and there's not one thing they can ever do about it. Nothing.

Signed

Avid Bernie Hillary Martin supporter who 💜 them all.

But unless they can show actual damage to US policy directly attributed to her email setup its no big deal. If there was no damage it shows that even if it was unorthodox it was handled properly. Speculating on potential damage is stupid because it didn't happen.

was for. If you think we had gridlock the last 7 years during his presidency. If you think that the Repugs conspired on the day he was inaugurated to make President Obama a one term President. Then you haven't seen nothing yet.

They will be 100 times worse on Hillary should she be elected President. If this impeachment crap is starting before a nominee has been selected - just wait - if Hillary is elected.

Unless Hillary can coattail additional Dem Senators and Congressmen - to take back Congress - the gridlock and inactivity by our Congress will continue.

If you think any differently - I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. But I think that this is something that we really have to take into consideration when choosing our nominee going forward. Who will have the better chance of getting along with and getting important things through Congress?

High crimes and misdemeanors while not president? Convicted of....what? It's all about ruining the presidency of ANY Dem. Being a Republican is a sickness.

...more than once from Camp Weathervane that this scandal was gone, never to be heard of again.


I'm so very surprised.
