"I think Nancy is right to be cautious about making sure whatever is done in this Congress is more in accord with the very careful approach of 1973 and '4," Clinton said while speaking at the Time 100 Summit.
"And remember, the other piece of this is that the Congress has to keep working. I know she is very focused on putting some accomplishments on the table, even if they die in the do-nothing Senate, which they will, because that has become a hotbed of cynicism unlike anything I have ever seen," she continued.
Clinton, noting that she knows several current Republican senators through her time serving in the Senate, added, "I know some of these people, and they know better.”
"So, the House needs to put some points on the board, and that happened during Watergate," Clinton said, referring to the buildup of impeachment proceedings against former President Nixon in 1973 and 1974.
The way Trump keeps dragging the Republican Party through the bramble patch is nothing short of magnificent. And Trump is getting more reckless where he drags the GOP, even if it means taking healthcare away from the millions of Americans with preexisting conditions when the Republicans’ back up plan seems to be Go-fund-Me.
Now Trump is taking Republicans into even more unpopular, and perilous territory by deliberatly creating a constitutional crisis over congressional oversight.
