Democrats "can foresee" the possibility of impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump following the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report.
Speaking on the Sunday political talk shows, the chairmen of three key House investigatory committees sounded open to the possibility of bringing impeachment proceedings against the president.
"I can foresee that possibly coming," House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., told CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday, adding that he is "not there yet" on impeachment.
The report itself, Cummings said, provides Congress with an investigatory "roadmap," he said.
"I think [Mueller] basically said to us as a Congress, 'It's up to you to take this further with regard to obstruction and the other matters that might come up,'" Cummings said.
He cautioned that Democrats must "be very careful" regarding impeachment because many Americans don't see eye-to-eye on the issue. However, Cummings said "history would smile upon us for standing up for the Constitution" if the House voted for impeachment but the Senate shot it down.

They will change their tune once the IG report and unredacted documents are released. The details of the failed coup is a game changer.
They have really burned up their “Fifteen Minutes” haven’t they?
They’ve been saying this forever.
Why is it even news that the dems yet again send out their crazy black reps to say the dumb stuff because no one takes them seriously.
The Dems always trot out Elijah when they are trying to placate their base- his district is so safe he can say stupid things and no voter will ever hold him accountable.
Yeah he’s represented Baltimore, MD for years and years. That tells you all you need to know.
All hat, no cattle. An impeachment trial in the House would be the perfect venue to air the coup details. Pelosi knows this. The chickens are coming home to roost. Trump: Please don’t throw me into that briar patch.
Please, oh please bring it fools.
“Nadless”
LOL! Though Al D’Amato’s “The Waddler” remains a classic.
As long as he is >40% nationally and especially >90% among Republican voters, they know it a losing issue for them
The Mueller report just set that 90%+ in stone
I guess they are hoping that a few Rinos in the senate will vote to convict.
Not. Gonna. Happen
What a F’n waste of taxpayer time. We wait, they diddle thus and avoid working on problms that need bi-partisan labors.
Do it! Please! This needs to be encouraged. More whackos! We need the Left to get so weird that not even the Republicans can screw up the next election.
DO IT!!!!
It will go nowhere in the senate and they’ll waste months talking about it and getting nothing else done. That alone will hand President Trump the 2020 election!
I don't think that was Mueller's intent and I don't believe that the Democrats are going to pursue it. This is all posturing. What the Mulehead did was throw enough crap up in the air for the DemonRats to make some noise about it...and then scurry (like the rats they are) making mischief while handing the ball off to the enemedia who then run with it and exercise their 'de facto' impeachment proceedings all the way to the 2020 election...
There is no trial in the House.
The Democrats have blown the last two years, might as well go for four.......PATHETIC
The good news is the Dems aren’t passing bad laws.
Nadler and the wimp from California are two more!!!
Donald Trump to Nanzi Pleurisy:. Please don’t throw me in that br’r patch!
My dog has a higher IQ than Cummings.
