Trump Lawyer: Hillary Clinton Could Face Impeachment Under Precedent Set in TrialAmy Furr 14 Feb 2021
Hillary Clinton could face impeachment as a private citizen and prohibition from running for office ever again under the precedent set during the trial of former President Donald Trump, his lawyer said Friday.
“This could happen to … the former secretary of state,†lawyer Michael van der Veen told senators, according to the Washington Times. “It could happen to a lot of people. That’s not the way this is supposed to work.â€
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) asked if Trump’s impeachment trial “would create a new precedent†for former officials such as Clinton.
“Is it not true that under this new precedent, facing calls to ‘lock her up,’ a future House could impeach a former Secretary of State and potentially disqualify her from any future office?†Rubio questioned.
“If you see it their way, yes,†van der Veen stated, in reference to House Democrat impeachment managers.
Lead impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) commented that the hypothetical question “has no bearing on this case.â€
“This official was not impeached in office for conduct while in office,†he said, but did not reference Clinton’s name.
