Trump Lawyer: Hillary Clinton Could Face Impeachment Under Precedent Set in Trial

Amy 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.”

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.”

“This official was not impeached in office for conduct while in office,” he said, but did not reference Clinton’s name.

Could is the key word here, but she won't.  The impeachment proceedings start in the House and there is no way that they'll get the votes need to impeach her.

With all the evidence that has been uncovered surrounding her misconduct and corruption, it should have been used by the AG's under Trump to prosecute her ... his AG's were absolutely worthless and part of the swamp.  She will go to her grave with all of her dark secrets that have taken place during her life.

That's assuming the law applies to Hilary Clinton.

Hell, the precedent also means we can impeach FDR or Obama or any other past President.

Or why restrict oneself to presidents?

Once the GOP is back in power, let's impeach former cabinet members like Holder as well.

The sky is the limit.

Clinton's Foundation Crime Syndicate have contrived some of the heinous RICO crimes of the past few decades.  A political impeachment?  What a joke.  Bill and Hill really ought to be in Orange Suits.
