Washington (CNN)House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler on Sunday said Robert Mueller's report presents "very substantial evidence" that President Donald Trump is "guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors" -- an impeachable offense.
"We have to ... let Mueller present those facts to the American people, and then see where we go from there, because the administration must be held accountable," Nadler, whose committee would lead impeachment proceedings, said on "Fox News Sunday."
Mueller, the former special counsel for the Department of Justice and former director of the FBI, will testify before Congress on July 24 after House Democrats issued a subpoena for his appearance.
Earlier this year, Mueller concluded a nearly two-year-long investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Democrats are deeply divided on whether to pursue an impeachment inquiry, and Mueller's public testimony may provide an opportunity for the party to unify and decide whether impeachment proceedings should go forward or not. More than 80 House Democrats have called for starting an impeachment inquiry into the President -- the first step in a lengthy process, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Nadler have so far resisted the pressure to open an inquiry. Behind the scenes, Nadler has lobbied Pelosi to open an inquiry.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said Sunday most Americans haven't read the dense 448-page Mueller report. Schiff said on CBS "Face The Nation" that the report contains "a pretty damning set of facts," and said, "Who better to bring them to life than the man who did the investigation himself." "We want the people to hear it directly from him," Schiff said.
Mueller said in a rare and remarkable public statement in May his investigation could not clear Trump of obstruction of justice..."

I love the Headline; so I gotta ask.
Just what substantial evidence, you little bowling pin shaped, penguin, walrus piece of sh!t?
I hope you’re right, FRiend. You’re a bit more optimistic than I am.
The RAT party was never that great but at least Harry Truman wasn’t a pervert.
There may be “evidence” but what are the “high crimes and misdemeanors”?
High-crime = smoking pot (or not inhaling)
Mis(s)-demeanor = Monica L.
If you tied a noose around his neck, then kicked the chair out from under him his head would pop off.
That 5000 pounds of LARD in his ass would be to much for his pencil neck.
Frankly I thought it was funny with that Republican ambushed Nadler and Schiff and the rest of those Democrats, shooting them with an AK47 knock-off just because of their beliefs
And Nadler had to go to the hospital, almost died, could barely walk, and then blamed White Nationalists for his plight.
Ah the good old days.
HA! Great meme!
And here I thought that was the fat, syphilitic, leprous, lard ass of a hippo.
Note well that Jerrod Nadler does not list even one ‘high crime or misdemeanor’. He is just a fat, little blowhard, that is all!
Truman was a fine man, but he could do nothing to defend his party from all the infiltrating Communists.
Cheap attempt at intimidation.
Is it kept secret for a reason Nads? Or does the meat of this claim end at the sound bite.
Sounds like bumper sticker politics.
Haman learned a lesson about attempting to string up a popular fella.
Trump carries Wisconsin. First time GOP since 1984. Definitely a high crime
“...As unhealthy as Nadler looks, could it be him?....”
The fat, useless, communist POS is being kept alive by the very best health care on the face of the planet. I wouldn’t get my hopes up or hold my breath.
Nadler is a psychopomp. He is the edge of the blunt Democrat sword in the 2020 election, where the Dems have nothing but “impeach the president.” as a platform.
Nadler is nothing but an indicator of just how bad the Dems will lose again in 2020. Get ready for repeated insane cries of Trump Derangement Syndrome in 2020.
The phrase is often misunderstood, since a misdemeanor IS a crime.
This guy is a fruitcake, just as CNN is a fruitcake that serves nothing but dissent and trouble.
WTH happened to the CNN that I relied on for news?????
Gone With The Wind.
“Get ready for repeated insane cries of Trump Derangement Syndrome”
Looking forward to them!
The moment they sense that a Republican member is getting to Mueller, they’ll interrupt and disrupt the proceedings. It’s going to be nothing but a shouting match between the two sides. Of course, the Republican’s will sit there, dutifully, while the Dem’s say whatever they want. And will shut up when told to do so, when it’s their turn.
