Steve Cohen in Trump impeachment


On Principles & Values: On impeachment: Russian collusion different from Clinton sex

Earlier this month, 58 House Democrats led by Rep. Al Green of Texas voted to begin debate on articles of impeachment. Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), who has filed his own articles of impeachment against Trump, said he understands why some Democrats are reluctant to join the effort right now. But he said it would be a mistake to compare Trump and Clinton.

"There's a difference between colluding with Russia to win an election and obstructing justice ... and having a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky," Cohen said.

While Democrats like Cohen have no qualms about talking impeachment now, he acknowledged there would likely have to be a "smoking gun" to get Republicans and even wary Democrats on board. For Democrats reluctant to even broach the topic, that may mean explicit evidence linking Trump to Russian collusion or obstruction of justice in Mueller's report.
