Why not do what obviously should be done, since we know she's committed felonies.
FBI Reopens Hillary Email Investigation: Why Not Impeach Her?
Hillary Clinton was on her campaign jet when the news broke that the FBI was going to reopen its probe into her email. That extra bumpy turbulence that the press on board felt was not due to rough air outside. It was the lurch of a presidential campaign 11 days away from an election being frightened to its core.
Clinton's staff said it learned of the news only after landing because the plane's wifi system was out. Uh-huh. Just like President Obama found out about Clinton's private email through the news "the same time everybody else learned it." We all know how that story turned out. He knew about her unsecure email setup long before that because he used it.
In light of the FBI reopening its probe, some are asking Clinton to step down as the Democrats' candidate. She won't. Clintons don't do that. Bowing out would be tantamount to admitting guilt. That's a place the Clintons never go.
But there is an alternative channel to stopping another corrupt Clinton from obtaining the highest levers of government: Impeach her now.
I suggested this two months ago, when there was more time for Congress to complete the proceedings before the election. Now only days remain.
Yet there is still enough time to bring charges against her in the House. Though the proceedings would last well beyond Election Day, she would nevertheless have been impeached before voters went to the polls on Nov. 8. While her lock-step base would still vote for her, independents and Never Trump Republicans who were going to support her would not want to waste their ballots on an impeached candidate. Independent-thinking Democrats would also likely steer clear.
Though on its face it might seem that Congress doesn't have authority to impeach Clinton before she took the oath of office, it would be perfectly legitimate to do so and not without precedent. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton explained this to the Daily Mail in August.
"One of the dirty little secrets in Washington is that Mrs. Clinton can be impeached now," Fitton said. "A federal official leaving office does not end congressional jurisdiction over impeachment for misconduct in that office."
Should Clinton be "convicted by the Senate, the sanction could be ineligibility for future office," he said. Or removal from office, we should add, if the conviction came after the inauguration.
I urged Congress in September to "start the process now and save the country the heartache of another President Clinton being impeached while in office." But this time Congress should impeach Hillary to save the country the misery of having another Clinton in the White House — and to spare the nation and the world from suffering through Obama's third and possibly, heaven help us, fourth terms.
