Hillary Clinton says prosecutors would have charged President Trump with crimes were he not in the seat of power.

That doesn't mean that Democrats should rush to remove him from office, however, she said. Clinton told lawmakers on Tuesday to do the hard work of holding hearings and reviewing the facts before they try to remove him from office.

'I have a weird personal history about impeachment,' she acknowledged. 'It shouldn't be a preordained conclusion. It should be based on evidence, not on partisan advantage.'

House Republicans voted to impeach Clinton's husband, over his relationship with Monica Lewinsky, but he was left in place by a vote of the Senate. That would be the likely outcome if House Democrats took a vote, as well, she noted.

Clinton said she agrees with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that you 'don't put impeachment on the table, as the only item on the table, and say you're going to get there no matter what' unless you have the evidence to back it up.

The former first lady said she she believes that Mueller would have charged Trump, if he thought that he could have, based on the guidelines.

'I think there's enough there that any other person who had engaged in those acts would certainly have been indicted,' she said. 'But because of the rule in the Justice Department that you can't indict a sitting president, the whole matter of obstruction was directly sent directly to the Congress.'

Pelosi told members of her caucus chomping at the bit to impeach during a Monday call that they needed to slow down. She said that Democrats cannot appear to be coming down on Trump for partisan reasons.

She reiterated her statements on the private call in public on Tuesday at the Time 100 event in New York, where she was interviewed after Clinton.

'I do believe that impeachment is one of the most divisive forces, paths that we could go down to in our country,' she said. 'But if the facts, the path, fact-finding takes us there, we have no choice. But we're not there yet.'

The California Democrat said, 'It may be a place that the facts take us. We shouldn't impeach for a political reason, and we shouldn't not impeach for a political reason.'

President Trump said Monday in a tweet that he cannot be impeached, because he committed no crimes.

'Only high crimes and misdemeanors can lead to impeachment. There were no crimes by me (No Collusion, No Obstruction), so you can’t impeach,' he said. 'It was the Democrats that committed the crimes, not your Republican President! Tables are finally turning on the Witch Hunt!'

The Mueller report devoted an entire section to allegations that Trump obstructed justice. The first volume dealt with Russian election meddling and charges that Trump and his campaign may have been involved.

Clinton encouraged attendees to read all 448 pages of the Mueller report themselves.

'Every American who cares about holding our adversaries accountable, looking to prevent what happened from ever happening again, should take the time to go through,' she said.

Clinton noted in the conversation that her campaign was negatively impacted by interference, which included the release of her campaign chairman's emails.

'I'm really of the mind that the Mueller report is part of the beginning. It's not the end,' she stated.

She called up Churchill's 'The End of the Beginning' speech and said, 'Because there's still so much more that we should know and we should act upon.'

Rudy Giuliani, the president's personal attorney, ripped Clinton in a tweet.

'Hillary is correct the report is the end of the beginning for the second time,' he said. 'NO COLLUSION. Now Ukraine is investigating Hillary campaign and DNC conspiracy with foreign operatives including Ukrainian and others to affect 2016 election. And there's no Comey to fix the result.'

Giuliani's tweet refers to an interview with Hill.TV in which the Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yurii Lutsenko confirmed, according to the outlet, that law enforcement had a tape recording of a Ukrainian official saying he leaked negative information about Paul Manafort to help Clinton's presidential campaign.

The information about the alleged financial crimes led the special counsel to probe and charge Trump's former campaign chairman. He has been sentenced to more than seven years in jail for the crimes he committed before he took a job with Trump.
