There is only one thing to do now.

Mueller has spoken. He has confirmed everything we already knew and more. He will not win an Academy Award but there was nothing flawed in the facts he confirmed for us. The House has no choice but to convene an Impeachment Inquiry, to bring all the current committees into one and use the power of an Impeachment Inquiry to put an end to this and to Trump.

To do otherwise is to give the American people bread and circuses instead of democracy.

Let them know you are behind them with regards to impeachment - ALL the committees need to continue to prod witnesses to appear by whatever means they have....if we wait for a smoking gun..a tape or email or a patriot to step up..WE are not doing OUR job!

Make sure your DEM rep in your state hears from you..as well, make sure your rep or senator running for election know you have their back..btw - make sure your voter registration is up to date....

Be well ALL..we won the house in 2018..let's not forget all the effort that was put into it...

that someone has convinced Nancy Pelosi that if they can just get ahold of all of Trumps financials that he is so desperately trying to hide then they will finally have what they need for impeachment. I conclude this based upon numerous statements including the press conference yesterday evening where she said that those investigations would continue. I disagree, as I believe there is more than enough, but maybe some think proving he is in debt to Russia for tens to hundreds of millions of dollars is the last piece that needs to be revealed.

I think there could be - not saying there definitely is - but could be a plan to push this further into next year knowing at some point the GOP will have to sit Trump down. I still predict the "resignation/Pence pardon/let the Dems try to fight it" plan is what eventually happens when Trump understands the only way to guarantee there is no future federal indictment is that scenario.

Of course, NYAG could always step up and drop State indictments on him at any time if they have the evidence.

Less on *how* Mueller said it than on *what* he said:

- Trump welcomed Russian interference & lied about it
- Trump untruthful in some written responses
- Trump encouraging of Wikileaks "problematic"
- Trump not exonerated of obstruction.
- Accepting foreign help = "new normal"
