(CNSNews.com) - At a town hall hosted by MSNBC Tuesday night, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) indicated that, as president, she "absolutely" would pursue legal action against Donald Trump when he leaves office.
You know, I've read the Mueller report, and they outline in that report -- and it was a team of some of the best career people in the Department of Justice who were a part of that -- career people who had been in the Department of Justice.
There are at least ten separate instances of obstruction of justice. I am also clear from reading what he wrote in that report that the only reason they did not return an indictment against this president on obstruction of justice is because of an opinion from the Department of Justice that suggests that you cannot indict a sitting president.
But there is no question that the evidence supports a prosecution of that case.
Harris advocated "transparency" and "accountability."
"There is a clear track record of this president and members of his administration obstructing, not to mention what we have seen from the current attorney general of the United States...So there is a lot of work to do and I plan on seeing it through."
The entire exchange, including the two-part question from someone in the audience (who said he'd traveled 160 miles to attend the town hall) is printed below:
Question: I'm an American of Cuban descent. My fiancé and I have travelled over 160 miles from Charlotte, North Carolina to hear your passionate view of the American future that will remove the existing embarrassment that's in our executive office and one that we can again be proud of.
My two-part question is this. Do you fully support in undertaking the impeachment process through to its completion, knowing the risks which will impact the 2020 election for all of us involved and the possibility that the Senate will not go along with the impeachment?
The second part of that question is, if you're not successful with the impeachment process, will you continue to pursue legal action against 45 and his Cabinet as well when they leave office for their numerous egregious offenses they have all incurred against the American public, regardless of the time expended in the courts? Thank you.
Harris: Thank you. Thank you, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And thank you for traveling to be here. I appreciate that. I really do. And we are all part of the American story....S0, yes, I do support and have advocated for us going through the process toward impeachment and seeing that through.
I absolutely do. But you're right to mention the United States Senate, because while I am calling for us to go through that process, I also am fully aware that the Senate in its current configuration -- I doubt very seriously will actually vote to impeach this president, given its current configuration, which is that the majority is run by Republicans who consistently, be it on his wall, be it on the Affordable Care Act, on so many issues, have stood with this president even when what he has done is so clearly and blatantly wrong and in many cases in the worst interests, not the best interests, of their constituents.
But on the issue of impeachment, let's be clear. You know, I've read the Mueller report, and they outline in that report, and it was a team of some of the best career people in the Department of Justice who were a part of that, career people who had been in the Department of Justice. There are at least ten separate instances of obstruction of justice.
I am also clear from reading what he wrote in that report that the only reason they did not return an indictment against this president on obstruction of justice is because of an opinion from the Department of Justice that suggests that you cannot indict a sitting president.
But there is no question that the evidence supports a prosecution of that case. So taking it to the point of your next question, absolutely.
Listen, I believe that there needs to be transparency, there needs to be accountability. There is a clear track record of this president and members of his administration obstructing justice, not to mention what we have seen from the current attorney general of the United States, who I questioned in connection with the Judiciary Committee, who clearly thinks his job is to represent the president and his peculiar interests as opposed to representing the people of the country in which we live.
So there is a lot of work to do and I plan on seeing it through.
Appealing to the nut case dimRAT base. It is what these lawless losers do.
Might as well say she’d also find the Lost Arc and shake hands with a Martian.
Chances are about the same.
Good. That means President Trump is clear to use the Harris Rule against zerobama. And he should call it that. Give Kameltoe credit for establishing the precedent with her pronouncement.
Kommiela has a lotta nerve.

YES, this time it probably means what you think.
Since the whole Meuller farce started two years ago, won’t the statute of limitations be run out after he completes his second term (8 years)?
The line has been crossed. No other party, or elected official, in the history of this country has promised to prosecute a sitting President purely for political reasons.
For what? And how on earth would she be able to obtain a conviction?
She is clearly insane.
Who cares what this nasty stupid slut thinks? Bereft of any moral compass, I could care less what she thinks or has to say.
The 2,000 or so announced Democrat candidates for president are all desperate to stand out from the crowd. So they are driven to say more and more outrageous things.
I wonder what’s next. Maybe Liz “Cherokee” Warren will demand that Trump run a gauntlet.
The statute of limitations only applies to actual crimes committed.
Since there is conclusive proof that no crimes were committed - no statute applies.
Democrats can continue to make these baseless accusations for years.
Agreed. The Rats have “crossed the Rubicon” and are so stupid they don’t realize it. After what they have done for the last 3 years they really don’t deserve and should not be considered to be “part of the AMerican Family”. They just aren’t they are traitors to us and the country and ultimately they will have to be dealt with.
Name one of the ten...
Robert Mueller is guilty of prosecutorial misconduct. If an investigation does not find enough evidence to charge a suspect, the prosecutor cannot create a permanent cloud over the suspect by claiming they could not “exonerate” the suspect, then close the investigation, leaving the suspect with no recourse. If so, this leaves the suspect guilty until proven innocent. A prosecutor’s mandate is simply to find evidence of a crime sufficient to charge or, failing to do so, close the investigation without charging. Leaving the public with the impression that the suspect still might be guilty is improper and unconstitutional. Mueller either lied today, or he lied when he told A.G. Barr and Deputy A.G. Rosenstein that his decision to not charge was because of the Department of Justice’s guidelines against indicting a sitting president. The fact is, he could have issued a sealed indictment to be opened when the president is out of office if his investigation found any evidence of criminal wrongdoing. If Mueller knew from the beginning that he would not charge the president due to guidelines, then what was the purpose of the investigation, except as an impeachment investigation, which is solely the province of the House of Representatives. Mueller decided instead to breath new life into the democrat calls for impeachment.
I felt that way after hearing Nadler come out out literally LIE. He said Mueller said things that Mueller absolutely did not say, nor could have been misunderstood to say.
They’re not stopping. I don’t think they’ll stop until they have the Civil War they seem to want.
I agree with your assessment as to motive, however I do not think the house will impeach. There are a few suicidal enough to try but not enough politically that dumb to execute it. The dems are hoisted by their own petard, damned no matter what they do.
And Id like to prosecute Harris for her role in the Jussie Smollett gay attack hoax..we all know she was involved in it, that’s why Smollett refused to turn over his cell phone
