Sen. Johnson Already Ringing Impeachment Bell For Hillary Clinton

[DonViejo]

Source: Talking Points Memo

Election Day is still a week away, but Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) already has his eye on the possible impeachment of a president Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server.

"This was willful concealment and destruction," Johnson told the Beloit Daily News in a Monday interview flagged by the Huffington Post. Johnson’s comments referred to federal laws related to the willful gathering or destruction of information related to national defense.

"I'm not a lawyer, but this is clearly written," Johnson said of 18. U.S. Code 2071, which dictates that anyone who concealed or removed such official records is disqualified from holding U.S. office. "I would say yes, high crime or misdemeanor, I believe she is in violation of both laws."

Johnson, who endorsed Donald Trump, told the local Wisconsin newspaper that the FBI’s investigation concluding there was no case to prosecute the former secretary of state was “corrupt.”

The vulnerable Republican senator is significantly trailing behind Democratic challenger Russ Feingold. Johnson has 43.2 percent support to Feingold’s 50.7 percent, according to TPM’s PollTracker Average.

1. Thank You Russ Feingold

Will be glad to see him gone

[calimary]

22. YES! I want Russ to get his old job back.

This fucking squatter and poseur took Feingold's job six years ago. Time to flush him OUT of there. That's rightfully RUSS FEINGOLD's Senate seat. I'm glad the polls indicate he's going to return to his rightful place!

I can't believe it, Wisconsin! WHAT THE FUCK were you thinking?????????? To turn your back on Russ Feingold like that? WHAT THE FUCK were you thinking???

Oh, never mind. You WEREN'T actually thinking. Anybody using their brains would have known it made no sense to assume some idiot teabagger could "represent" them.

[dhol82]

2. And if the do manage this idiotic feat they will still have a democrat in office

What a dumb fuck.

[SHRED]

3. Limp Johnson

A moot point since he's going to lose.

[PSPS]

11. moot

[SHRED]

14. Fixed...thanks

[George II]

4. Shows how little he knows about his job - the Senate doesn't impeach, the House does.

[rtracey]

7. true but

The House may impeach, but the Senate votes on the trial. There will be no guilty verdict, simply because there wll not be a 2/3 majority in the senate, whether it turns blue or not.

[NewJeffCT]

10. he just wants to inspire the teabaggers to turn out

and vote for him.

[apcalc]

5. Moron

[world wide wally]

6. Item #1 on the GOP agenda if they get reelected:

Overturn the will of the people!

If that isn't reason enough to vote for them, what is?

[Historic NY]

8. He's not a lawyer, that's obvious. He's not much of a Senator either.

[SwankyXomb]

25. This time next week, he won't be either.

[Grey Lemercier]

9. get ready for 4 years of this shit, plus obstructionism on a jaw dropping scale by the scum in

Congress.

[CanonRay]

12. This is one GOP idiot

Who won't be around come January

[yodermon]

15. I think it's a foregone conclusion that the House will impeach Clinton immediately

Hell they may even do it during the lame duck session, before she takes office (If the Senate would convict, which of course they don't have the votes to do, she would be prevented from taking office).

Let's get it over with, and then tie that around their necks for the next election cycle.

[calimary]

23. Speaking of "tie it around their necks" (like a cheap-ass made-in-China Donald Trump necktie),

I'd just like to remind everybody that George P. Bush is actively FOR Donald Trump. Yes, that's Texas, and not Wisconsin. But I just wanted to throw that in there. Young "heir apparent" to that self-anointed "American royal family" has ambitions to follow Grandpa George HW, and Uncle dubya into the White House someday. Take that to the bank. He's already started on the road toward there, with this little minor bureaucratic elected job in Texas. From there, he'll try to climb upwards. Maybe running for governor next.

THESE individuals NEED TO BE WATCHED. Kept track of. This Ron Johnson dude, in Wisconsin - I think we need to keep an eye on him, too. When he loses (I think it's pretty certain that Feingold will beat him), he'll want back in, in some other way.

KEEP TRACK of these guys, my friends. It's ESSENTIAL!

[Blue Idaho]

17. Proving again that republicans

Can't be trusted with the levers of power. They will always use them for their own vindictive purposes instead of helping improve the lives of ordinary Americans.

Let's vote them out of office.

[dalton99]

18. Bring It On.

[Initech]

19. And no talk of impeaching Trump over his abuse of women?

Which is worse - alleged abuse of an e-mail server (which is bullshit) or real, prolonged, and frequent abuse of women?

[Demsrule86]

21. They will never convict Clinton in the Senate.

She has done nothing wrong but maybe we can get them out of office.

[The Wizard]

24. Republicans are a pox on humanity (NT)

[Mike Nelson]

26. Hope this clown...

...loses! If not, hope he will proceed with impeachment talk. The public won't like it and Democrats will do better in the midterm elections!

[benld74]

27. I'm not a lawyer, but I slept in a Holiday Inn Express last night,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[cynzke]

28. I'M NOT A LAWYER, BUT.......

I am trying to get RE-ELECTED, therefore I will share my opinion which is NOT based on legal fact. I'll promise you the IMPOSSIBLE, string you along for your vote!!!

New Flash, Johnson....no American President has EVER been removed from office by IMPEACHMENT. There maybe enough GOP congressmen in the house to call for impeachment of Clinton. HOWEVER it is the Senate that conducts the investigation laid out by the "Article of Impeachment" AND following the trial, there needs to be 2/3'ds Senate vote to remove Hillary from office. That's not going to happen. Even if the GOP thought they had a chance to get rid of her, Tim Kaine would replace her. What an idiot!
