Hillary Clinton suggested her campaign rival President Trump will get impeached, in sharp remarks in a commencement address Friday where she brought up 'obstruction of justice' and warned of the steps to authoritarianism. Speaking to gowned graduates at the school where she addressed students in 1969, Clinton referenced the resignation of President Richard Nixon and a House committee's impeachment investigation but it was clear to graduating students what she was really talking about.

Why didn’t the article also mention her coughing fit?

She mentioned the investigation of Nixon from which she was fired for lying and lawbreaking? Fired for illegal actions based upon her moral code that the ends justify the means?
She tipped her hand here artlessly. Getting sloppy as her mind deteriorates. So from this we can assume she is the force behind the Russia and Trump pony show. Makes the most sense since she’s the one who got caught breaking the law by sending classified material illegally thinking she’d cover it up when President. She’s sloppy, blindly arrogant and self-destructive. And is probably going to end up insane like other madmen.
Heh! Forgot about him.
Interestingly enough, I found this little tidbit regarding the Beast and Watergate:
Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedys chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifmans 17-year career.Why?
Because she was a liar, Zeifman said in an interview last week. She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.
How could a 27-year-old House staff member do all that? She couldnt do it by herself, but Zeifman said she was one of several individuals including Marshall, special counsel John Doar and senior associate special counsel (and future Clinton White House Counsel) Bernard Nussbaum who engaged in a seemingly implausible scheme to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel during the investigation.
Why would they want to do that? Because, according to Zeifman, they feared putting Watergate break-in mastermind E. Howard Hunt on the stand to be cross-examined by counsel to the president. Hunt, Zeifman said, had the goods on nefarious activities in the Kennedy Administration that would have made Watergate look like a day at the beach including Kennedys purported complicity in the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro.
The actions of Hillary and her cohorts went directly against the judgment of top Democrats, up to and including then-House Majority Leader Tip ONeill, that Nixon clearly had the right to counsel. Zeifman says that Hillary, along with Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar, was determined to gain enough votes on the Judiciary Committee to change House rules and deny counsel to Nixon. And in order to pull this off, Zeifman says Hillary wrote a fraudulent legal brief, and confiscated public documents to hide her deception.
The brief involved precedent for representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding. When Hillary endeavored to write a legal brief arguing there is no right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding, Zeifman says, he told Hillary about the case of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, who faced an impeachment attempt in 1970.
As soon as the impeachment resolutions were introduced by (then-House Minority Leader Gerald) Ford, and they were referred to the House Judiciary Committee, the first thing Douglas did was hire himself a lawyer, Zeifman said.
The Judiciary Committee allowed Douglas to keep counsel, thus establishing the precedent. Zeifman says he told Hillary that all the documents establishing this fact were in the Judiciary Committees public files. So what did Hillary do?
Hillary then removed all the Douglas files to the offices where she was located, which at that time was secured and inaccessible to the public, Zeifman said. Hillary then proceeded to write a legal brief arguing there was no precedent for the right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding as if the Douglas case had never occurred.
The brief was so fraudulent and ridiculous, Zeifman believes Hillary would have been disbarred if she had submitted it to a judge.
Zeifman says that if Hillary, Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar had succeeded, members of the House Judiciary Committee would have also been denied the right to cross-examine witnesses, and denied the opportunity to even participate in the drafting of articles of impeachment against Nixon.
Of course, Nixons resignation rendered the entire issue moot, ending Hillarys career on the Judiciary Committee staff in a most undistinguished manner. Zeifman says he was urged by top committee members to keep a diary of everything that was happening. He did so, and still has the diary if anyone wants to check the veracity of his story.
her boss wanted to fire her for unethical behavior and that was nothing?.. that’s enough for most people
This unethical deceptive liar is still butt hurt she lost...Too funny.
I would not want to be in government or be a politician if Trump loses that battle. You only have to read comments after articles and understand that with all the propaganda against Trump and Republicans in the news and dirty little game played on the Montana Republican and he still win....that election outcome should have been an huge eye-opener to what the mood will be when they come up with something during the witch hunt special counselor to impeach him with.
The deep state is stuck between a rock and a hard place....they are screwed either way. Win the battle and lose the war.
No wonder she had another coughing fit.
I wish this old America hater would hurry up and croak. Americans need a break.
Every time the beast talks negatively about Trump, I think “but he sure kicked your ass!”
And was it Socks the cat who hid the subpoenaed Rose Law Firm records in the closet of the White House living quarters?
I wonder if she mentioned how she was fired from the Watergate investigation for ethics issues.
Sessions recused himself....that made all this possible....dumb ..dumb..dumb.
