Hillary Clinton ‘In Favor Of Moving Toward Impeachment’ Of Donald Trump

Hillary Clinton declared her support for impeachment proceedings into President Donald Trump following Tuesday’s announcement from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that a formal impeachment process will begin.

“I’m in favor of impeachment,” Clinton, who ran against Trump in the 2016 presidential election, told People magazine. “I did not come to that decision easily or quickly, but this is an emergency as I see it. … This latest behavior around Ukraine, trying to enlist the president of Ukraine in a plot to undermine former Vice President Biden or lose the military aid he needs to defend against Trump’s friend, Vladimir Putin — if that’s not an impeachable offense, I don’t know what is.”

Pelosi was finally driven to announce a formal impeachment inquiry by the allegations that Trump had pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden even as Trump withheld critical military aid from Ukraine.

“The president of the United States is betraying our country on a daily basis,” Clinton told People.

The former U.S. secretary of state added, “This man who is in the Oval Office right now is a clear and present danger to the future of the United States.”

Trump quickly responded to Tuesday’s impeachment announcement, tweeting at one point in all caps: “PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT.”

Not Surprisingly, #ImpeachTheMF Is Trending On Twitter Today

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement of a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump on Tuesday not only set into motion his potential removal from office, it also inspired a slightly off-color hashtag.

By the afternoon, #impeachthemf was a trending term on Twitter. For those living under rocks, “MF” is shorthand for “mother fucker,” and is generally not considered a positive term.

Twitter users reacted in all sorts of memish ways.

Some were surprised it was actually happening.

Some were happy about the news.

Others were cautiously optimistic about how the impeachment process might work.

And then there were people who couldn’t help but wonder how the president was handling the news.

Bill Cosby hit with $2.75 million legal bill as he marks end of 1st year in prison

PHILADELPHIA — Bill Cosby has been hit with a $2.75 million legal bill as he marks the end of his first year in prison.

The 82-year-old Cosby had challenged a California arbitration award that upheld nearly $7 million of a $9 million bill submitted by just one firm in the run-up to his first sexual assault trial in Pennsylvania in 2017.

A judge sided Friday with Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, of Los Angeles, rejecting Cosby’s claim that the bill was “egregious.”

Cosby spokesman Andrew Wyatt isn’t commenting on the fee dispute.

But he says the actor is holding up well in a suburban Philadelphia prison, mentoring other inmates as he marks a year in prison Wednesday.

Cosby is serving three to 10 years for drugging and molesting a woman in 2004. The Pennsylvania Superior Court is weighing his appeal of the 2018 conviction.
