Path to Impeachment

On May 29, 2019, Special Counsel Robert Mueller held a press conference. It lasted less than ten minutes. As many grabbed the popcorn, and awaited his prepared speech with bated breath, his body language, cadence, slip ups on words was importantly telling. He reiterated “the report speaks for itself” and “is his testimony.” He freely decided to not appear before Congress because he would not add anything to what was already contained within it.

He chose arguably to smoke signal the Democrats to start the impeachment proceedings.

For those who do not know, the extremely costly Mueller Report was to investigate two things: Election interference, and obstruction of the investigation on the interference. One of the givens going into the investigation, as laid out by law and DOJ policy, was not to determine whether a sitting President would be charged. To many, the anti-Trump game was apparent from the beginning. This is why the Democrats are pushing for impeachment. It is their belief that once it happens – not if – the President could be indicted for obstruction. The Mueller Report is key.

Nothing Burger is Once Again an Impeachment Feeding Frenzy

Regarding a Mainstream media frenzy that Mueller wasn’t happy with the way Attorney General William Barr handled the release of the report, Mueller today admitted Barr did more than he personally requested of him. Mueller wanted a piece of the report released whereas, Barr made almost 99% of it public.

In addition, two statements show the contradiction, bias, and politics of Mueller: 1) “If we had confidence that the President did not commit a crime, we would have said it.” and 2) “We did not however make a determination as to whether the President committed a crime.”

Will Congress take the Leash to Impeach?

The expected responses have begun. The circus clowns are loose again, as expected. Here are a sampling of the tweets:

What Robert Mueller basically did was return an impeachment referral. Now it is up to Congress to hold this president accountable.

I read the Mueller Report. In fact, I re-read portions of it on the floor of the United States Senate. It should be crystal clear to anyone who read the report: Congress must hold the President accountable.https://t.co/lN32DJmKC5 — Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) May 29, 2019 Archive.is

Is Mueller Calling Democrats to Start Impeachment?

Other than focusing on election interference, the Democrats twirling up a tornado of tweets on impeachment. They refuse to do the work of the people by solving the humanitarian crisis on the border or improving infrastructure. Their agenda is crystal clear – impeachment not governing.

Ideally, Mueller’s press conference was to signal that he would not be testifying, the close of the investigation, the Special Counsel Office on this issue was closed, and he was resigning due to the end of it. Instead, he chose arguably to smoke signal the Democrats to start the impeachment proceedings.
