Hillary Clinton discusses impeachment paradigm for President Clinton vs. President Trump; says the only issue keeping the current president from being indicted is the fact that he's currently president.
of the House starting the impeachment process, Clinton said Tuesday that such proceedings"should be something undertaken in a really serious, diligent way based on evidence, not on partisan advantage."
"And if at that point they believe that high crimes and misdemeanors have been committed, then I think it is the obligation of the Congress to put forward articles of impeachment," she said, adding that she thought House Speaker Nancy Pelosi"understands that kind of sweep and care that has to be taken so it doesn't immediately look as though you have some preordained outcome without having to do the hard work that I remember so well from my experience all those years ago.
"If you read that part of the report, it could not be clearer," she said, adding,"But we do have checks and balances in America, and there is this thing called the Congress. I mean, you could not be more explicit than, 'Please, look at this, you might conclude that this does not rise to an impeachable offense, that's your job, but I'm giving this to you.'"
In addition to obstruction, Mueller covered Russian electoral interference and whether the Trump campaign conspired with Russia in those efforts — something he said he was unable to establish based on the evidence he had.
