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.

Interesting take, it makes sense. It shows what disarray the rat party is in.
The Republican party is only slightly better off as there are the Romney type RINO/swampsters that have the same core values and the swampster rats.
You are correct. The House indicts the subject and the Senate conducts the trial. Trump will have the opportunity to mount a defense. The Dems will not want the truth about the coup to gain such a high profile. Currently, most of the public is unaware of the facts surrounding how the attempted coup started and who was behind it.
the sun might also rise in the east and set in the west.
Seriously, it all depends on the polling numbers.
Wasn’t Cummings one of the main roadblocks when Republicans were investigating Hillary Clinton?
Guess good enough reason for them.
Yep.
