The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee warned Wednesday on Fox News that Hillary Clinton could be impeached if she were elected, essentially delegitimizing Clinton before Election Day.
Reacting to the FBI’s announcement last week that it was reviewing a newly discovered batch of emails related to Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) was emphatic that impeachment would proceed if a criminal indictment of Clinton appeared imminent.
“This investigation will continue whether she wins or not, but assuming she wins and the investigation goes forward, and it looks like an indictment is pending, at that point of time in the Constitution, the House of Representatives would engage in an impeachment trial,” McCaul said referring to a House investigation into Clinton’s e-mails. “It would go to the Senate, and impeachment proceedings and removal would take place.”
McCaul then went on to compare Clinton to Richard Nixon who resigned from the White House rather than face impeachment.
“I would hate to see this country be thrown into a constitutional crisis because of Hillary Clinton’s behavior,” McCaul said.
Fox News host Bill Hemmer tried to give him a chance to back away from the comments.
“You are six days away from a national election and you’ve used the ‘I’ word,” the host said. “You want to take that back?”
McCaul said that if there was a “smoking gun” showing “intent” then that “would be the grounds for an indictment.”
Doesn’t impeachment from office require “high crimes or misdemeanors” while in THAT office???
They will impeach her and all for naught…
I just hope that they don’t waste too much of HRC’s time.
Can’t wait to see how the media goes false equivalency on this crap. But they will.
“I would hate to see this country be thrown into a constitutional crisis because of Hillary Clinton’s behavior,” McCaul said.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSC25Li4E88The House might impeach just because thats how they roll. I doubt they would ever bother with making a case or bringing forth evidence. I don’t think that would work very well for them politically but thats never stopped them with regard to any of their other destructive behavior in the past.
But as McCaul is fully aware, there is exactly zero chance of removal considering that it would require two thirds of the Senate. He is putting the possibility of it out there and deliberately reducing the chance of EVER working or compromising with Clinton on any issue despite the fact that there is zero chance that his scenario would ever come to pass.
Honestly, what the hell is wrong with these people?
