69. But won't it be grounds for impeachment?

Mon Mar 7, 2016, 12:05 PM

Mar 2016

The (R)s will still control The House and possibly The Senate.

What is to stop them from beginning Impeachment hearings as soon as the new session begins?

That keeps those thousands of federal workers out of it and it seriously damages Hillary's administration and even possibly ends it. You know they hate her and will do it if they can. A technical violation which is a felony under the law seems like more than enough for them to act on.
