Congressman Justin Amash of Michigan penned a lengthy Twitter thread on Saturday afternoon, concluding that — after having read the full report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller —"President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct," and"Attorney General [William] Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report."
While the congressman from Michigan does not appear to directly call for Trump to be impeached, Amash does make the argument that the president could be impeached and removed from office based on what he read in the report. The Twitter thread noted the multiple examples given in the Mueller report where Trump may have attempted to obstructed the special counsel's investigation, including his attempts to have Mueller removed. According to Amash's take,"undoubtedly any person who is not the president of the United States would be indicted based on such evidence."
The congressman, who was a member of the Michigan state legislature before being elected to federal office in 2010, criticized his colleagues for what he views as changing their views depending on the prevailing political wind. "[T]heir minds were made up based on partisan affiliation—and it showed," he wrote,"with representatives and senators from both parties issuing definitive statements on the 448-page report’s conclusions within just hours of its release."
