Piece of thread but I think Hillary does sorround herself with ty people that lack loyalty.

So far 3 of her top aides have talked her behind her back on these emails. I'd fired all of them if I was her.

Hilary needed the feedback.

Pity for her she didn't heed it: her misuse of personal email for official business and subsequent deletions are going to dog her from day one as President.

If the Dems don't win the Senate (possible, but not likely) she'll be impeached.

That word gets thrown around here willy nilly.

They cant just impeach someone without due cause. Just won't happen.

Just because they hate her guts doesn't cons ute immediate impeachment.

Lying about a blowjob was enough to impeach Bill Clinton. Congressional majorities and an allegation of a high crime or misdemeanor -- such as destroying government records or lying about the destruction -- should be enough to get the ball rolling.

How about trying not to push all the rules to their limit? How about surrounding yourself with people that have some sense of legal decency instead of experts at skirting rules?

There are rules in politics?

[spurraider21]

"secret email account" that everybody knew about?

[pgardn]

There are rules in politics?

Yes.

There are. And when you flaunt rules while Secretary of State as well... That's not good.
Capish?

[Reck]

Yes.

Who doesn't push the rules? And did she break any? She's not in jail so I'm going to assume no.

Exactly the point.

She uses lawyers to push everything to the limit.
If you think that's fine you are part of the problem.

And when ideologues opposite your persuasion do so you will remain silent?

Of course he thinks it's fine, he's a welcher.

[Reck]

Of course he thinks it's fine, he's a welcher.

I think it's fine because I'm a welcher? That doesn't even begin to make sense. Try to insert some context in your posts, you moron.

This got is jumping in every thread randomly calling Welch. What a cuck.

Can you impeach for something that happened prior to being in office?

Certainly they can (and will) continue to investigate for past crimes but I would think their only option for impeachment would be if she lied under oath or committed some other crime related to those investigations.

[Winehole23]

Can you impeach for something that happened prior to being in office?

Probably so, if the House and Senate want to do it and it's colorable in Article II, Section 4 terms. The phrase "high Crimes and Misdemeanors" isn't well defined.

Also, the Senate has not adopted standard rules of evidence (p.5, subpart B, "Trial Procedure in the Senate"): http://www.senate.gov/reference/reso...pdf/98-806.pdf

[Winehole23]

Since 1789, one principal question has persisted—how to define “high crimes and misdemeanors.” This question has been hotly debated by members of Congress, defense attorneys, and legal scholars from the first impeachment trial to the most recent. Were misdemeanors lesser crimes, or merely misconducts? Did a high crime or misdemeanor have to be a violation of written law? Over the years, "high crimes and misdemeanors" have been anything the prosecutors have wanted them to be. In an unsuccessful attempt to impeach Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas in 1970, Representative Gerald Ford declared: "An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history."

Narrow constructionists won a major victory when Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase was acquitted in 1805, using as his defense the argument that the charges against him were not based on any indictable offense. President Andrew Johnson won acquittal with a similar defense in 1868. The first two convictions in the 20^th century, however, those of Judge Robert Archbald in 1913 and Judge Halsted Ritter in 1936, neither of whom had committed indictable offenses, made it clear that the broad constructionists still carried considerable weight.
