...Former presidential candidate Hilary Clinton accused the Republican party of being too scared to remove President Donald Trump from office over his impeachment.
...Clinton said GOP is unwilling to "Entertain the seriousness and implications" of the charges against Trump and is "Basically deriding" the case, including through some senators' refusal to call witnesses, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
...The former first lady, senator, and secretary of state, who lost to Trump in the 2016 election, was taking part in an audience Q&A on Saturday at the Sundance Festival, where her Hulu docu-series Hillary premiered.
..."I'm obviously realistic enough to understand that the House Republicans and the Senate Republicans don't want to hear this," Clinton said, "Don't want to think hard about it, don't want to make a decision, and are going to probably default to basically deriding the case-they started that today-and then trying to move as quickly as possible without any more evidence being presented or witnesses called. I hope this will haunt them not only politically, but historically."
...Clinton praised House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for waiting to launch an impeachment inquiry despite criticism for doing so and pressure to move sooner.
