Democrats said Wednesday about Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s statement that if he had confidence that President Donald Trump did not commit a crime, he would say so, puts the onus on Congress to act, increasing the pressure on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to begin impeachment proceedings.
Robert Mueller’s statement makes it clear: Congress has a legal and moral obligation to begin impeachment proceedings immediately. Mueller in a statement Wednesday offered his first public comments on his findings, explaining that Justice Department legal guidance prevented him from accusing the president of a crime and noting cryptically that the Constitution “requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse the president of wrongdoing.
The sole Republican who has accused Trump of impeachable offences, Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., concurred with the assessment as well.It is unclear if the increased pressure will move Pelosi, who has long been skeptical of an impeachment inquiry that is not bipartisan. The House Democratic leadership aide said Mueller’s public statement would change nothing; lawmakers still want the special counsel to appear before Congress – even if they have to potentially force him. Should Mueller refuse, Democrats could issue a subpoena for him to appear, though they were hoping to avoid such a compulsory measure.

Facebook Refuses To Delete Fake Nancy Pelosi Video That Makes Her Seem DrunkThe social media giant says it wants to combat fake news. It also says fake news is OK to post on its platform. Not sure why people still have Facebook accounts if what they are hoping to get out of Facebook is considered thought on anything to do with current affairs or politics. cdnpoli It shows that you can't trust the word of Zuckerberg. Facebook’s very foundation is everything that screams ‘double standards’. When & how does anyone expect or see Facebook turn over a new leaf? I have a very strong opinion on what should’ve happened to Facebook & Zuckerberg by now.
