Klobuchar says she supports Trump impeachment proceedings 'beginning now'

 Democratic presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar says she would support impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump "beginning now."

The Minnesota senator's comment to CNN Friday followed Trump's statement this week that he'd take information from a foreign power that offered dirt on an opponent.



Klobuchar says "it's illegal" to take something of value from a foreign country to use in a campaign. She says Trump is "sending out signals" like he did in 2016, when he publicly urged Russia to find and publish Hillary Clinton's emails.

Trump told Fox News on Friday that "of course" he'd go to the FBI or attorney general if offered dirt on an opponent.

Klobuchar says if the House prefers to conduct investigations before starting impeachment proceedings "they should be given the time to do that."

Unless the election is postponed until after the impeachment proceedings are complete.  I look for the DEMS to start impeachment and drag things out.

Is it legal to postpone an election for impeachment? :shrug:

I have no idea, but the legality or Constitutionality of things doesn't seem to stop the DEMS.

On what basis would the election be postponed?

And why on Earth would the democrats want to extend Trumps term in the first place?  Whom do
You think would continue to be president during such a postponement?

Trump wouldn't stay in office.  Absent of an election or Congressional action every POTUS term ends on Jan 20th as specified in the Constitution.
