Maybe Rashida Tlaib will get to "impeach the [bleep]," after all.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Wednesday press conference reignited calls for impeachment after he broke his silence to say that he did not exonerate Trump, telling the nation in a short statement, “If we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said that."
A few hours later in an interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews, Tlaib called for Congress to move forward with impeachment proceedings.
"From the beginning, the Mueller report is an impeachment referral to Congress," she said. "It's clear he is asking the United States' Congress to take up their responsibility to hold impeach inquiry."
Matthews noted that Dem leaders say there's still little support for doing so among Democrats in the House. Speaker Nancy Pelosi — who still appears opposed to impeachment — claims only 38 House reps are on board, while 200 don't want to move forward.
That could change after yesterday's press conference, and the push to impeach gained a little steam last week when Republican Michigan Rep. Justin Amash and former Missouri Rep. Tom Coleman called for Trump's impeachment.
Tlaib also said she believes more and more Americans want impeachment, and it's "regular folks are leading this fight," not politicians.
"I think it's clear that many Americans that I spoke to don't want a lawless, king-like president to continue to not be held accountable to the Constitution."
The important thing is that she’s not just saying that because she’s wanted Impeachment well before the report came out
Rashida Tlaib is an enemy of the United States. She should be deported, not occupying a seat in Congress.
Absolutely. Deport her to GTMO.
He said nothing that was not in his report...
Well other than officially closing his office and resigning.
Says the representative of Hamas from Michiganistan.
something tells me impeachment is all they’ve got and they might have to do it this year instead of in an election year. Short memories help when one wants to prove a point.
don’t want a lawless, king-like president to continue to not be held accountable to the Constitution.”

No we didn’t, but we waited until his usurping terms expired and elected a legitimate President.
If you are going to impeach President Trump, go ahead and do it. Then hopefully we will do what we have to do.
And who’s going to try the articles if filed? Not this Senate. Mueller already said that there wasn’t anything to charge with, even in that last stilted statement of his.
Tlaib doesn’t belong in USA! Send her home now. We definitely need to repatriate these enemies - and this is the kindest option
Later this summer, I expect Trump to start rounding up the most treasonous DemoRATS. The tribunals being assembled in GITMO will be busy.
Go back to muzzieland, Tlaib.
Your scumbag a$$ in Congress is a threat to national security.
NO. ONE. CARES.
She’s the reason men set themselves on fire.
NO. ONE. CARES.
Exactly. Clinton was impeached and the dems act like he was their greatest president.
The call that “we” do something is less than hollow. Sorry, but it is.
Congress is on a Jihad against VSGPDJT.
You are correct. What was I thinking?
The tribunals being assembled in GITMO will be busy.

We haven’t even tried Khalid Sheik Mohammed yet.
There will no tribunals at Gitmo for US citizens.
