Warren Pledges To Release Impeachment Docs Withheld By WH

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) pledged Friday to release the trove of impeachment-related documents that the White House has barred, should she become president.



Elizabeth Warren

@ewarren
On day one as president, I will order the release of every document related to this impeachment inquiry that the administration has been hiding. The public needs to know what happened. All the other candidates for president should commit to take this step as well.

She added that Republicans should know that “this evidence won’t be hidden forever.”

Warren made the promise just days after her campaign unveiled its Department of Justice task force to investigate members of the Trump administration for possible corruption.

Her proposals are carefully timed. Democrats are frustrated as the trial unfolds and, despite Rep. Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) adept leadership of the argument, all signs point to an easy acquittal at the hands of Republican senators.

Warren may be as powerless as her Democratic peers now — but at least she can promise retroactive justice, should she win the election.

Other countries have truth and reconciliation processes that help to move past difficult periods. I think that not holding Bush and Cheney responsible for the debacle that was Iraq, helped to pave the way for Trump. Trump needs to be held responsible and the facts and information that is being hidden from the public needs to come out.

If people want a Democratic nominee who will be tough on crime, she’s the best choice right now.
