Related: About this forumGOP Congressman Already Floating Impeachment For Hillary Clinton
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/mo-brooks-hillary-clinton_5625053de4b0bce3470156eb?utm_hp_ref=politicsWASHINGTON -- 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.
Whoopee....8 more years of this.

I have no problem using a broad brush for that particular claim, either.

(10,476 posts)4. Can you even impeach for something that was alleged before the presidency?
?

(9,314 posts)7. No -- the alleged offense must have occurred after the President is sworn in
It is stunning how little some of these Republicans know about our laws.

I have been saying for the last two months that Clinton will come out of the fabricated email situation stronger. Looks like I am correct there. I am right again when I tell you if she wins, and they attempt this, you will see a White House that holds more political clout than at anytime in recent history.
There seems to be a group of people who live in fear of republicans and make points and decisions based off them. I read this and see nothing but progress.

The sad fact is, the Democratic Party is wise enough to take it off the table whereas the entire GOP is extremists.
