Pundits, Progressives: Mueller Report ‘Explicit Invitation To Congress To Impeach The President’
breitbart ^ | 4-18-20192 | Joshua Caplan

Establishment media pundits and left-wing political operatives believe that although special counsel Robert Mueller declined to prosecute Donald Trump for Russian collusion or obstruction of justice, his report on the investigation nonetheless invites Democrat lawmakers to impeach the president.

The Justice Department on Thursday released the long-awaited report by Mueller, which specifies the two-year investigation and details that the team found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia before the 2016 election.

The report, in total, is 448 pages long. It describes in detail how the Russian GRU intelligence unit hacked campaign emails of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, which were subsequently leaked by WikiLeaks. It also specifies there were some contacts between Russia and the Trump campaign.

Mueller’s report Thursday described several actions by President Donald Trump which his critics could interpret as attempts to interfere with the investigation. The incidents did not amount to enough evidence to prosecute, but Mueller refused to say that this lack of evidence amounts to an exoneration.

CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin believes the report contains an invitation to Congress to impeach the president. Mueller wrote that “if we had confidence” President Trump did not attempt to obstruct justice, “we would so state.” The report further states “The conclusion that Congress may apply the obstruction laws to the president’s corrupt exercise of the powers of office accords with our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law.”

Toobin believes the line is “all but an explicit invitation to Congress to impeach the president.”

Other media pundits and political operatives, including former Obama strategist David Axelrod and speechwriter Jon Favreau, said the report put the ball in the court of Congress to explore whether impeachment should be on the table.

These stupid sons of bitches have zero idea what awaits them if they try to remove Trump. They better wake up and realize that it’s going to get very very ugly.

Unlike a “Special Counsel” an impeachment investigation is Constitutionally supportable.

... and would cost the Dems everything.

...explicit invitation...yeah - we mighta but we coulda but it didn't but we shoulda but there isn't any evidence that he didn't that we oughta - the only thing explicit about it all is that Mueller and his thugs weren't able to find anything obviously damaging to Trump and substituted a lot of gibberish for findings to give the 'rats an excuse for trying to continue the putsch......

When Mueller testifies before the House committee, one of the Republicans needs to ask if he was suggesting impeachment. He has to deny it and thus embarrass these slimeballs. If he said he did intend to suggest impeached, he would reveal himself as a political operative rather than a prosecutor.

They are not going to "wake up". They are going double-down with their efforts and things will get ugly.

Plan accordingly.

One is reminded of the business plan of the Underpants Gnomes of South Park.

South Park Underpants Gnomes Profit Plan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO5sxLapAts

Somehow they never figure out the part in between “Collection” and “Profit”. Much like the Democrats have never figured out the step between “Accusing Donald Trump” and “Removing President Trump from Office”.

Just can’t get from “Point A” to “Point C”.

So many of the nastier ones have hogged the spotlight for so long, that they will easily be recognized when the shooting starts.

My sympathy jar is empty
My empathy jar is empty
My compassion jar is empty.

I am refilling all those jars with ammo.

My “GIVE A DAMN’ basket is also empty.

When the shooting starts, everybody will be YOYO-—
You’re On Your Own.

Then why does Julian Assange Publicly DENY this? Something he has Never done before.
