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.
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.

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

(26,507 posts)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?
