Hillary Clinton told Hollywood crowd that impeachment of her beloved husband was unconstitutional

Hillary Rodham Clinton was not happy that Richard Nixon said some critical things about her in his final years. At an event in a West Coast home with some of the Hollywood elite, she had some interesting comments.

As she was introduced to the assembled guests, the man introducing her commented that Richard Nixon had said: "Watch out for Hillary Rodham Clinton. She is the next Eleanor Roosevelt."

And then, Hillary begins ---

"In fact...um...a little aside...um, that a...Nixon, um, spent quite a bit of time in his later years, a, criticizing me for all kinds of things without necessarily disclosing that I was on the impeachment staff...um...in 1974. You remember, that was the constitutional impeachment staff." Big laughs come from the leftist lapdog crowd.

Unfortunately, Hillary didn't necessarily disclose to her Hollywood pals what the Democrat chief counsel who supervised the attorneys investigating Nixon has subsequently disclosed.

For those who do not yet understand the danger posed by Hillary Rodham Clinton, read what Jerome Zeifman has written. I have spoken a couple of times on the phone with him. ZEIFMAN ARTICLE

Zeifman's book is Without Honor: The Impeachment of President Nixon and the Crimes of Camelot

(Here are some excerpts from his 1999 NY POST article)

By Jerry Zeifman
IN December 1974, as general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, I made a personal evaluation of Hillary Rodham (now Mrs. Clinton), a member of the staff we had gathered for our impeachment inquiry on President Richard Nixon. I decided that I could not recommend her for any future position of public or private trust.

Why? Hillary's main duty on our staff has been described by as "establishing the legal procedures to be followed in the course of the inquiry and impeachment." A number of the procedures she recommended were ethically flawed. And I also concluded that she had violated House and committee rules by disclosing confidential information to unauthorized persons.

In one written legal memorandum, she advocated denying President Nixon representation by counsel.

Hillary then advocated that the official rules of the House be amended to deny members of the committee the right to question witnesses.

During my 14-year tenure with the House Judiciary Committee, I had supervisory authority over several hundred staff members. With the exception of Ms. Rodham, Doar and Nussbaum, I recommend all of them for future positions of public and private trust.

Zeifman is a lifelong Democrat, not a member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. The lesson for all is that, if it serves her interest and agenda, there is literally nothing that she will not do. She believes herself to be above the law.

Hilderbeast is so stupid. Richard Nixon was not impeached. He resigned.

[bookworm100]

AND she has copies of the FBI files.

[Burlem]

If she campaigns for president, all this stuff about her will be quieted. She never seems to have to answer for anything said or done, she does not fully and truthfully answer questions either as we all know,

[doug from upland]

I will respectfully disagree. This time, she is in trouble. You will soon see.

[JRochelle]

You will soon see?

Please tell us what you know. I can't bear the supense.

I saw a copy of Zeifman's book in a bookstore once and regret that I did not buy it...he had a lot of interesting things to say about the Judiciary Committee proceedings against Nixon. I recall seeing something by him in The Wall Street Journal, either a column or a letter to the editor...I don't recall the date but it must have been either in 1996 when Clinton was running for re-election or 1998 when the talk of impeaching Clinton had begun.

Both were impeached, neither was removed from office.

[oceanview]

Nixon was not impeached.

[Gunrunner2]

Doug, you are a reasonable guy so I will trust you on this one.

[unkus]

I remember something about Hitlery wanting to deny Nixon even a defense attorney. This is indicative of where she was coming from then and where she is now. One has to understand the mind set of these types. They are very ruthless, vindictive and "take no prisoners" thinking. Just like a rattle snake that must be chopped off at the head and then the head must be buried because of the venom still in the fangs.Hitlery is the most vicious of snakes and will slither where she is allowed.

[Gunrunner2]

Nixon resigned rather than face impeachment.

[Gone_Postal]

Both were impeached, neither was removed from office.

Sorry, bub... Nixon was never impeached

[scott7278]

Actually, three impeachment articles were passed by the House Judiciary Committee, but Nixon resigned before the full House could vote.

Clinton was only the 2nd U.S. President to actually be impeached.

"She believes herself to be above the law"

That's only part of it. She also believes she's so smart she can get away with it - and she's made some major missteps in that department. Also .. she wrongly believe WE ARE TOO STUPID TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SHE'S REALLY DOING.

When her husband assumed the same things - he became so arrogant he lied in a federal hearing - and found himself impeached. I believe Hillary has already made some serious mistakes and they will come back to haunt her.

Hilderbeast is so stupid. Richard Nixon was not impeached. He resigned.

She said she was on the impeachment staff and she was.

As noted, she behaved unethically as part of that staff so it would behoove you to criticize her for what she deserves criticism for and not for things she did not say, such as "Nixon was impeached".

[stevio]

Let's get this straight. Clinton was the first impeached elected president. Was he not?

[visualops]

I agree. If she runs, the tide of evidence and information about her will make the SBFT look like Kerry supporters.
