Irionic Twist---HRC was staff on research inquiry of impeachment for Watergate!

During her postgraduate study, Rodham served as staff attorney for Edelman's newly founded Children's Defense Fund in Cambridge, Massachusetts,[64] and as a consultant to the Carnegie Council on Children.[65] In 1974 she was a member of the impeachment inquiry staff in Washington, D.C., advising the House Committee on the Judiciary during the Watergate scandal.[66] Under the guidance of Chief Counsel John Doar and senior member Bernard W. Nussbaum,[47] Rodham helped research procedures of impeachment and the historical grounds and standards for impeachment.[66] The committee's work culminated in the resignation of President Richard Nixon in August 1974.[66]

Pretty cool...do you think Mueller might be calling her for advice?

She can give great support and direction based upon her background as Secretary of State.

Clinton Derangement Syndrome.

She dared to be a Democrat with a law degree, who wore trousers... And sat at the Watergate prosecution table.
