Hillary Clinton says Congress should begin Watergate-style hearings after Mueller findings [View all]

Source: Bloomberg

WASHINGTON — Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Congress should begin a Watergate-style investigation into President Donald Trump’s attempts to obstruct Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election that she lost.

Clinton wrote in a Washington Post op-ed that lawmakers should undertake “substantive hearings” on the special counsel’s report from his investigation and shouldn’t “jump straight to an up-or-down vote on impeachment.”

“Obviously, this is personal for me, and some may say on that I’m not the right messenger,” she acknowledged. But the decision between Trump’s immediate impeachment and doing nothing, she wrote, is a “false choice.”

It was a “mistake” for Republicans to pursue impeachment in 1998 against her husband, President Bill Clinton, “and would be a mistake now.”
