Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks feels that Hillary Clinton may get impeached if she is elected president. But his views come a year before the elections, and even before Clinton has secured the Democratic candidacy.
According to Brooks, potential presidential candidate has made him worry about "how many lives she put at risk by violating all rules of law that are designed to protect America's top-secret and classified information from falling into the hands of our geopolitical foes who then might use that information to result in the deaths of Americans."
"And in my judgement, with respect to Hillary Clinton, she will be a unique president if she is elected by the public next November, because the day she's sworn in is the day that she's subject to impeachment because she has committed high crimes and misdemeanors," he said, while speaking to radio host Matt Murphy, reports the Huffington Post.
Brooks said that Clinton "would be subject to impeachment," adding, "Subject to impeachment means that should the House and Senate so choose she could be impeached based on offenses, high crimes and misdemeanors, that she has in all probability already committed. I don't know, off hand, whether her commission of these offenses is a legal barrier to running for president. But if Congress should so choose, it would be a legal basis for her removal from office," in an interview to The Hill.
"If we had an unbiased judicial system, not run by this particular White House, in my opinion, she would have already been arrested. There's plenty of evidence to establish probable cause, which is the legal standard for an arrest warrant or an indictment. The only issue is whether Barack Obama and the White House will try to suppress a thorough investigation with resulting prosecution or get out of the way and let our prosecutors do their jobs, the FBI do their jobs, unfettered by any political constraint," said the former prosecutor and district attorney, later in the interview.
Clinton is scheduled to appear before the House Select Committee on Benghazi on 22 Oct., reports the Examiner.
