“I have a weird, personal history with impeachment,” said Hillary Clinton to laughs from the TIME 100 Summit audience.

Hillary Clinton doesn’t take calls to impeach President Donald Trump lightly. “I have a weird, personal history with impeachment,” the 2016 presidential candidate said to laughter at the TIME 100 Summit in New York City Tuesday afternoon.

“I’m of the mind that the Mueller report is part of the beginning, it’s not the end. There’s still so much more that we should know and that we should act upon, and that’s what Congress is trying to figure out right now,” she said. Clinton added that she believes Congress should continue their investigation into the Trump campaign and administration.

“We were attacked, we have significant evidence that this administration did everything they could to undermine and interfere with the investigation into that attack,” she said. “I think there’s enough evidence that if any other person who engaged in those acts would have certainly been indicted, but because of the rule in the Justice Department [where the DOJ cannot indict a sitting president] the whole matter of obstruction was very directly sent to the Congress.

“I was a very young staff attorney on the Nixon impeachment inquiry, and it took several years of slow acquisition and publication of information to show the extent of the corruption in that White House,” she said. “I think what [House Speaker Nancy Pelosi] needs, is that impeachment shouldn’t be a pre-ordained conclusion. It shouldn't be what you do for partisan political purposes outside of the framework of the Constitution. It should be done in a diligent way based on evidence.

If only we could actually impeach Trump soon. Nobody—not Clinton nor Nixon—has deserved it more.

Donald Trump’s impeachment begins or ends with Mueller’s report: MSNBC hostEfforts to impeach President Donald Trump will start if Mueller’s report is damning, but only if the Democrats show “moral courage,” MSNBC’s “Hardball” host Chris Matthews said. Not so much. Trump has done plenty just in the last month to merit impeachment and he shows every sign of continuing to give the country reasons to remove him from office. Not true. No collusion
