Trump will be IMPEACHED: Clinton returns to her university to launch all-out attack on presidentDaily Mail/UK, May 26, 2017
Hillary Clinton suggested her campaign rival President Trump will get impeached, in sharp remarks in a commencement address Friday where she brought up 'obstruction of justice' and warned of the steps to authoritarianism.
Speaking to gowned graduates at the school where she addressed students in 1969, Clinton referenced the resignation of President Richard Nixon and a House committee's impeachment investigation – but it was clear to graduating students what she was really talking about.
'We were furious about the past presidential election of a man whose presidency would eventually end in disgrace with his impeachment for obstruction of justice,' the defeated presidential candidate said – as members of the crowd at the liberal campus erupted into cheers.
Then she brought up Nixon's 'firing the person running the investigation into him at the Department of Justice' – a line that brought laughs and more cheers.
As she addressed students, Clinton also pointed to the evolution of 'authoritarian' regimes, in a criticism of Trump's constant attacks on the media and his critics.
'When people in power invent their own facts and attack those who question them, it can mark the beginning of the end of a free society,' she warned. 'That is not hyperbole, it is what authoritarian regimes throughout history have done.'
'You are graduating at a time when there is a full-fledged assault on truth and reason,' she told graduates, referencing White House counselor Kellyanne Conway's defense of 'alternative facts.'
