Former President George W. Bush’s chief ethics lawyer Richard Painter said Tuesday that President Donald Trump calling for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to be prosecuted is an “impeachable offense.”
Painter sent out a tweet in reference to an early morning Twitter rant from Trump on Tuesday in which he continued to criticize Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Painter said that pressuring Sessions to prosecute Clinton is an impeachable offense. The President prosecuting his former competitor is not illegal, but Painter hinted it is not morally correct, saying if we truly value free elections, Trump should not be able to prosecute Clinton.
"Pressuring AG to prosecute the person who lost the election is an impeachable offense if we value free elections."

I say we start a drinking game where we have to take a shot every time some whore in the media or on Capitol Hill says "impeachable offense."
I'll be sh_tfaced by breakfast!

It's weird. Why would investigating Hillary be opposed by Bush lawyer? Can anyone figure out why the George W. Bush would care so much for his adopted sister?

This is ridiculous. Clinton broke numerous laws that Trump is trying to crack down on. Prosecutors need to enforce the laws even if the person who broke the laws is very politically connected.

He's not Bush's lawyer. He's a guy who worked for the Bush administration ten years ago and has pretty much become a professional Trump hater since then.

Former President George W. Bush’s chief ethics lawyer Richard Painter said, "We can't have these political outsiders screwing with us! That's why we're pushing back so hard! We have a good thing going, f*cking the American people, and I'll be damned if an outsider, like Trump, is going to f*ck it up!?"
Alright, my words! But, I'll bet I'm close.

The guy is a lunatic. There are only 218 people in the world who get to decide of something is impeachable. Painter is not one of them. He is just another nutcase.

I have never heard of this Rino and I never want to hear of him again. This is anti Trump GOPE and they are getting totally whipped.

Bush Lawyer: Trump’s Calling For Clinton Prosecution Is An ‘Impeachable Offense’ Maybe because Bush isn't innocent?
I wonder if my very cynical outlook that most high-level people in our government (all branches, the bureaucracy, and whole agencies) are corrupt might be an underestimate of how bad the problem is.

Keep it up and try. They will have to call out the Army to keep armed citizens away. They have no clue how close we really are to full out anarchy and an insurgence do they.

What an idiot! Clinton would not be prosecuted for losing the election and he knows that. She should be in prison for crimes too many to name.

The idiot fails to cite the fact that HRC was under federal investigation DURING THE ELECTION but was let off the hook from a corrupt DOJ.
