Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones claimed to have “sources” within President Donald Trump’s administration that were orchestrating a retroactive impeachment of former President Barack Obama.
During his Thursday program, Jones encouraged his audience to urge the Trump administration to move forward with prosecutions as retaliation for the probe into Russia’s election interference in 2016.
“They’re the real predators, and it’s time politically, non-violently, to cut their heads off and to just do it,” Jones said of Democrats. “And I mean that, again, metaphysically, is an archetype. They started the fight. Now we’re going to finish it.”
“I’m not saying 100%, but from my Justice Department sources at the very top, right below the very top, and from everything else and how scared the Democrats are acting, they have all the proof, they’re releasing the proof, and they have every intention,” he continued. “They’re going to indict Brennan, Clapper, Comey, his daughter, Hillary, all of them.”
“And they’re getting ready to try impeachment on Obama retroactively to strip him of presidential immunity. And that’s going on.”
The U.S. Constitution states that “[t]he President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment … and Conviction.”
However, it’s not clear that Congress has the authority to impeach former presidents.
