WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidates ratcheted up the pressure on U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to start the process of impeaching President Donald Trump after Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s first public comments on his two-year Russia probe.Mueller, who was assigned to investigate Moscow’s interference in the 2016 election, on Wednesday reaffirmed that his team did not consider filing charges against Trump for obstruction of justice because U.S. Justice Department policy bars the indictment of a sitting president. Several Democratic candidates for the White House interpreted Mueller’s remarks as encouraging the Democratic-led House of Representatives to determine whether Trump tried to derail the probe and should be impeached.

It’s not an issue of filing charges, his report didn’t identify any crimes and gave reasons for that other than what he said today.

Isn't it more than telling that they can't--even at this late stage of the all the investigations--articulate the evidence for any high crime or misdemeanor to establish even one article of impeachment?

Because they KNOW they cant beat Trump in 2020..that is what this is ALL about..if they thought their agenda was a winning agenda, something that the American people wanted..they would wait til November 2020 and beat him legitimately, but they know they cant..they know their agenda is a disaster and they have ZERO chance of winning so they want to destroy the competition

Trump is waiting too long to declassify everything. Show the FBI for the lousy bunch of thugs many of them have become; bring the hammer down on the corruption of this agency formerly headed by a corrupt, nervous, tottering old man named Robert Mueller.

Congress Must Impeach; The Senate Won’t Do It.

The House can masturbate to a picture of Trump burning at the stake.

Mitch ain’t going to budge; he will ignore the wailing vermillion

Checkmate

>>Why not. Trump hasn’t proven he isn’t guilty.<<

He also has not proven he was at the grassy knoll in Dallas in ‘63.

It is incredible the number of things he cannot prove he did not do!!

Impeach, baby!!!

Not surprising since those Demonicrats are, by definition, lying murdering traitors.

29 May: The Hill: Alan Dershowitz: Shame on Robert Mueller for exceeding his role
Until today, I have defended Mueller against the accusations that he is a partisan. I did not believe that he personally favored either the Democrats or the Republicans, or had a point of view on whether President Trump should be impeached. But I have now changed my mind. By putting his thumb, indeed his elbow, on the scale of justice in favor of impeachment based on obstruction of justice, Mueller has revealed his partisan bias. He also has distorted the critical role of a prosecutor in our justice system...

No prosecutor should ever say or do anything for the purpose of helping one party or the other. I cannot imagine a plausible reason why Mueller went beyond his report and gratuitously suggested that President Trump might be guilty, except to help Democrats in Congress and to encourage impeachment talk and action. Shame on Mueller for abusing his position of trust and for allowing himself to be used for such partisan advantage.

Exactly how far does the D party need to go before they are finally declared a criminal organization? Another civil war perhaps?
