    Why is Fox talking about impeaching Hillary? Sounds like they have already conceded the election to Hillary.
    Wouldn't it makes sense they be discussing Trump and his presidency since they are sure he is going to win.
    Very strange.


    Eric Bolling: "A Lot Of People Were Wondering What Would It Take For An Impeachment"

    From the October 31 edition of Fox News' The Five:




    ERIC BOLLING (HOST): So, a lot of people were wondering what would it take for an impeachment. Now, think about if Hillary Clinton is elected president -- president-elect, becomes indicted, and then convicted of a felony. If she didn't step down, what would it take to impeach her?

    Not sure any concession is being implied, just a discussion on the matter.

    A matter that honestly, would likely see the sitting POTUS pardon the POTUS-Elect, prior to any conviction that may, or may not happen.

    Faux News has always been a joke, the propaganda channel for the GOP for 20 years now. We report, you decide.

    I read it as a concession.

    Meh, IDK, Bolling seems a pretty staunch (R), not likely to concede a thing to the Left. Especially this Cycle.

    Yes, he is totally (R). It seem faux noise talks more about Hills presidency than Trumps presidency.

    Go figure

    Good point and why is the Left pushing Hillary for the presidency when they KNOW that she is probably going to be impeached if she does win?

    He finished his Presidency and now the Republican Congress has an approval rating of 11%. And to top it all off the Republican party is now running a candidate for President who isn't even a real Republican. So stupidity has had it's just reward.

    Yes Bill Clinton was impeached. Look up the definition of impeachment. All it means is that he was put on trial and NOT that he was convicted. Sheesh!

    Actually he was. Often impeach is used incorrectly. Impeachment is the indictment process done at the House, you are not removed from office until the Senate convicts you. In Bill's case he was not convicted by the Senate.

    ...and now righties are saying Hillary will be impeached

    change the CD already...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    So, context and common sense is, as usual, the first victim of a political discussion. I listened to "The Five" and if you were also listening, it was simply a discussion of what would happen if it was President Elect Clinton and how the process would proceed. If Trump wins she would be prosecuted just like any other private citizen so theres no point in discussing that.

    A study by the UCLA school of journalism said Fox had the most accurate (least biased) news reporting among the major news sources (networks, newspapers, etc.).

    But Eric Bolling is a commentator, not a news reporter. There is a difference. It's clear Hillary violated several laws. Because of that, impeachment is a legitimate issue for him to discuss.

    That's because you wear biased blinders.

    Take them off. You'll reason better.

    I don't know whether this is an implied concession or not.

    But the right wing noise machine has already spooled up impeachment talk even before the election itself.

    One the one hand, this is not the sort of discussion anyone would bother with if the candidate were expected to lose.

    On the other, it's a clear indication of what most of us already expected, that the"vast right wing conspiracy" would spend the next four or eight years trying to "get" Hillary Clinton by any means possible, just as it did her husband.

    That's rich coming from someone who shops every ludicrous right wing conspiracy theory out there on this forum!

    I doubt she'll win, but people were wondering what it would take to see her impeached so what's your beef? It's good to know that if the election takes a turn for the worst, both Clinton's will have been elected by democrats, and both Clinton's will have been impeached.

    Aren't you the one who cries when someone goes "off topic" in your posts? This is about what it would take to impeach Clinton. Stay on topic.

    Well, you guys consider a ludicrous right wing conspiracy theory to be anything remotely negative towards Clinton so that statement holds no water.

    So, if it didn't come from one of the corrupt alt-left media outlets like ABC-CBS-NBC-CNN-MSNBC-PBS-NPR-NYT-LAT-Time-Newsweek, then it is a right wing conspiracy source????

    LMFAO!

    Republicans have accomplished very little since Nixon and before that, Teddy Roosevelt. These days, they focus on witch hunts, faux scandals and impeachment proceedings. It's all they have—they're completely worthless these days.
