Mueller’s report reveals a stunning array of new allegations against Donald Trump. But one thing remains the same: House Democrats are ducking any talk of impeachment
Pelosi effectively took impeachment off the table earlier this year, saying impeaching Trump is “just not worth it.” And she and other top Democrats notably avoided any nod to impeachment in statements released after Mueller’s report went live on Thursday.
Another member of the Judiciary Committee, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee , said Democrats “have to engage in our own report and investigation” stemming from Mueller’s findings. But she said those efforts weren’t specifically in pursuit of impeaching Trump. “Despite Attorney General Bill Barr’s redactions and spin, it is clear that the report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller should be considered an impeachment referral for obstruction of justice by the President of the United States, akin to Watergate Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski’s ‘roadmap’ detailing troubling actions by President Richard Nixon," said the Center for American Progress' "Moscow Project.
But other key progressives were reserved. Rep. Mark Pocan, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said “everything should be on the table” but doesn’t believe it will require removing Trump from office before November 2020. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler sent a letter Thursday requesting Mueller testify before his panel within the next month.
