WASHINGTON - Democrats clamored for the speedy release of U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s findings of his probe into whether President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with Russia. Now they finally have them, they are confronted with a choice - stay on the attack or move on.
Billionaire Tom Steyer, who has pumped millions of dollars of his own money into a campaign calling for Trump’s removal from office, told Reuters that lawmakers in the Democratic-led House of Representatives should begin the process of impeaching Trump, a Republican, based on the evidence amassed by Mueller.
“I don’t think Bob Mueller’s report is going to make a difference in Lordstown,” said Robin Winston, a former chairman of the Indiana Democratic Party, referring the auto plant in Ohio that auto giant General Motors shuttered last month. A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted last month after Mueller’s conclusions were first made public showed that about half of the country still believed Trump worked with Russia to influence the 2016 election. More than half said they believe Trump tried to block the probe.
“It is clear that Donald Trump wanted nothing more than to shut down the Mueller investigation,” U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, a Democratic candidate, said in a statement. “While we have more detail from today’s report than before, Congress must continue its investigation into Trump’s conduct and any foreign attempts to influence our election.”

In a what?
How about they start finding common ground and doing their damn job
Democrats are left with a litany of proof that Trump intended to and tried to criminally obstruct justice and a federal investigation into possible collusion to defraud an election. There are no questions about that and action is not only necessary but is required.
It shouldn’t. Even if an ultimate decision were made that impeachment isn’t worth the effort, further House investigation most decidedly is, as Mueller practically invites the House to do using his Report as a road map.
Lo quieren muerto políticamente
They knew from the very beginning that this was a hoax. Democrats should stop lying to the people so they can have at least some chance in winning in 2020. Otherwise, realDonaldTrump will be their President till 2024. 😀 POTUS45
No it leaves gop in a quandary
Not really .. we DONOT.m want Nauseating Pence. Want to arrest them both at the same time, besides , will impeachment stop the investigations into his other crimes? Kinda like his Sister's resignation from the bench? Huh?
They gotta start impeachment...it will not backfire,totally different environment than Clinton era- Backlash then was because people thought it was weak/politically motivated. We have serious violations of trust and law with Trump. He is dangerous..1/2
There’s no quandary. They need to do their job.
Liberals lost an election,tried to create a false narrative of collusion wasting years of everyones time,lost that too and next will lose the 2020 election bc of how foolish and hate filled they are regarding Trump. Liberals just got Trump reelected. Thank you
They’ve been in a quandary. They made up this quandary! Eat crow Democrats!
Democrats our all their eggs in one basket..... and now have nothing
Wich pipol good
who are you kidding, they are going to keep the nonsense up till Trump is reelected in 2020 keep at it, stupid media, you're a conservative's best ally.
Not this Democrat.

The government would definitely not lie to the people. Surely not.

Rosenstein defends AG Barr's handling of Mueller's Russia report as Democrats ramp up pressure: WSJ'He's being as forthcoming as he can,' Rosenstein says of Barr during an interview Thursday with The Wall Street Journal. Releasing the report that 'totally exonerates' him would probably be a better defense. Weasel Rod sees the world crashing around him and he's hoping the biggest blocks don't land on his head. Rod Rosenstein is easily fooled. Look no further than how Trump tricked him into writing a case to fire Comey based on Comey's handling of Hillary of all people. carlquintanilla

Democrats blast Barr over Mueller report press conference'The attorney general appears to be waging a media campaign on behalf of President Donald Trump.' Watch House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler's brief press conference ahead of Thursday's Mueller report release. Lol this is how lost the dems are As the oversight committee looking for collusion and corruption why not investigate Hillary Clinton? I’ll bet you’ll be more successful in finding foul play. But you’re only interested in finding foul play by Republicans, aren’t you? Don’t you democrats have any sense of decency? You try to destroy opponents by using the scandalizing technique. For example the besmirching of Judge Kavanaugh which was inexcusable. Now your using the same ploy on the AG. Your not fooling anybody.

House Democrat committee chairs urge Attorney General William Barr to cancel press conference on Mueller ReportDemocrats want Attorney General William Barr to cancel his revelation of the Mueller Report on Thursday morning. The pre Mueller conference is probably a bad idea. Drop the Mueller sanctioned version and let Democrats Pick a part the inflated Trump golf handicap for the next four weeks. It`s official, We Dems have lost our spines, we do not have the stomach for a fight. We are down imploring and pleading rather than taking steps to counter and checkmate every GOP move. Only a miracle can save us from here. weneedamiracle RepJerryNadler RepMaxineWaters RepCummings RepEliotEngel and especially RepAdamSchiff have dishonored our political institutions and our Constitution by conspiring with fakenews to attack our Republic.
