Elizabeth Warren: Mueller leaves no doubt:


@ewarren

Mueller’s statement makes clear what those who have read his report know: It is an impeachment referral, and it’s up to Congress to act. They should.



@ewarren

Mueller leaves no doubt:
1) He didn't exonerate the president because there is evidence he committed crimes.
2) Justice Department policy prevented him from charging the president with any crimes.
3) The Constitution leaves it up to Congress to act—and that's impeachment.

But, Nancys driving.
I hope the Ds don't wait so long that some repub like Amash gets credit for starting the thing that we all know, isn't going to go well for the gop and trump. Let's not give the procedure to amash. Congress needs to step up and drown him out now. IMHO.

Mueller's report is out, and he's leaving the public stage.

Congress's turn to take the baton, or further risk a Trump reelection, honest or not.

Nancy Pelosi is good but, she's betting on some political calculation that Trump and Mitch will somehow impale themselves and she won't have to implement impeachment proceedings. Mitch McConnell decides what comes up for a vote or not. Important issues like supreme court nominations and impeachment of a president should not be left up to the whims of one person. The constitution must be followed and adhered to or it is useless.
