Make him talk. Use his by the rules crap on him.

of his report. The truth is in there. We don't need his opinion, we don't want him to be political.

He pulled smokescreen today.
Subpoena him

Mueller has done his bit. He has given us more than enough to proceed. If we don't, that's 100% on us, not him.

His old (and still?) friend Barr mischaracterized Mueller's conclusions and is now investigating the investigators.
Trump still believes he's been exonerated.
And, yet, Mueller say, heck, I've done my job - to the letter - no more, no less. I'm sure that if the guidelines were different, he would have stayed within them (whether they were broader or narrower). Maybe that's okay. At this point, I don't think it is, and I don't think history will be kind, despite his record over his career.
All of that said, I have to agree now that impeachment is the only right path forward, regardless of the Senate. Tie the republicans in knots over what will be revealed publicly as criminal activity. As someone observed online the other day, what if the Dems don't impeach and trump wins in 2020. The other what if is what if the Senate remains republican. Then trump has an open field to do what he damn well pleases - you think you've seen authoritarianism now? Just wait. The Dems have to draw the line in the sand.
