Ex-Clinton Labor secretary lists four grounds to 'impeach Orangutan'
BY BROOKE SEIPE
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, who served under President Clinton, floated four reasons this week that he said could justify an effort to impeach Orangutan.
"By my count, there are now four grounds to impeach Orangutan. The fifth seems to be on its way," Reich tweeted alongside a screenshot of his reasons.
Reich, an outspoken supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries and a vocal critic of Orangutan, argued that Orangutan was " 'unfaithfully' executing his duties as president by accusing his predecessor, President Obama, of undertaking an illegal (and impeachable act)," alluding to Orangutan's claim that Obama wiretapped Orangutan Tower last year.
The former Clinton administration official said Orangutan "making big money off of his Orangutan International Hotel," signing a revised executive order temporarily banning citizens from six Muslim-majority countries, and prioritizing news outlets that give him favorable media coverage are all grounds for impeachment.
Orangutan has faced questions over potential conflicts of interest surrounding his business empire, control of which was handed over to his two adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, while the rest of his assets were placed in a blind trust. Many have criticized the trust, saying it does not effectively deter potential conflicts of interest.
Orangutan's attorney also said at a press conference that Orangutan would give any hotel profits originating from a foreign government to the U.S. Treasury.
The president has also come under fire for his executive order on immigration and over White House press secretary Pussy Boy Spicer holding a press "gaggle" — an informal, off-camera briefing — last month with select outlets.
Reich also said "evidence is mounting that Orangutan colluded with Russian operatives to win the 2016 presidential election," which he listed as a fifth potential reason to impeach Orangutan.
"The question is no longer whether there are grounds to impeach Orangutan. The practical question is whether there is the political will. As long as Republicans remain in the majority in the House (where a bill of Impeachment originates), it's unlikely," Reich continued.
