Hillary Clinton still needs to secure the Democratic nomination, but one Republican already has a plan for her impeachment in place if she wins the 2016 general election. In a recent talk radio interview, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) vowed that he would make sure Clinton's email issues would follow her to the Oval Office — and cut her time there short.

"In my judgment, with respect to Hillary Clinton, she will be a unique president if she is elected by the public next November, because the day she's sworn in is the day that she's subject to impeachment because she has committed high crimes and misdemeanors," Brooks told radio host Matt Murphy.

Though Clinton maintains that she did not knowingly break the law by using a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state, Brooks says Clinton put lives at risk "by violating all rules of law that are designed to protect America's top-secret and classified information from falling into the hands of our geopolitical foes, who then might use that information to result in the deaths of Americans."
