(7,142 posts)Talking about this. Nadler is talking impeachment oh no, not yet, we need 67 Republican Senators.
Katyal says the Mueller report shows Trump is a felon. Still no answer how Dems are going to get the report from Barr. Heard nothing, just impeachment.

(10,437 posts)The hearing committee could spend a couple months with testimony for articles of impeachment with full scale investigation into all Barr moves. Trump can not use EP to cover up underlying crimes. Place McConnel in a no-win situation.

(269,352 posts)House of Representatives. Many also know that crimes were committed. Cohen going to prison today and not the Con is pissing off THEIRbase. That's on every newscast.
Despite Barr, the Con, and RETHUGs Americans know that the Con committed crimes in office and is trying to block their exposure and his punishment.
The harder they come, the harder they fall.

(7,550 posts)I know he was called back to act as SC...one would assume since his appointment as SC is now at an end that he is no longer an employee of the federal government. Accordingly neither Barr nor the White House can tell him to do anything.

(23,002 posts)Muellers report was long and disappointing. Over and over...'sure looks like ______, but I just couldn't prove ______.' If Muellers a professed christian, he's been doggin' it. Listen to it yourself and see. Trust me, just go to volume two. You'll never get the 10 hours back, from vol 1. Remember, even after he testifies(?), it's just starting. But, at least we'll have the facts as he saw them...I guess. Who knows?

More than 450 former federal prosecutors who worked in Republican and Democratic administrations have signed on to a statement asserting special counsel Robert S. Mueller IIIs findings would have produced obstruction charges against President Trump if not for the office he holds.
The statement signed by myriad former career government employees as well as high-profile political appointees offers a rebuttal to Attorney General William P. Barrs determination that the evidence Mueller uncovered was not sufficient to establish that Trump committed a crime.
