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.

So we now know what the republican strategy is. Waste more taxpayers money. Perhaps this idiot doesn't realize even if the house was able to get articles of impeachment through, they wouldn't have the votes in the Senate
It is really sad that those in Congress cannot be impeached for for spewing bullshit

(12,655 posts)she has too much baggage, and the entirety of her first months (or longer) should she get in (shudder) will be taken up with this bullshit freak show. she knows it, but will not step aside for the good of The country and let a real progressive take the reins and make some real substantive changes in this country. She as usual, is only thinking of herself and her political career. Even if there's no merit to it, all of the baggage she brings and all of the bullshit that's going to transpire is going to take away any chance of the Democrats getting anything meaningful done possibly during her entire first term. which will probably be her only term. go ahead, flame away i don't care. The oligarchy does not care about the peasants, installment number 5712.
