Democratic leaders stuck to their scripts on Monday, pledging to investigate Trump thoroughly and downplaying impeachment talk
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer doused talk of impeachment last week, shortly after the Mueller report was made public, saying he didn't think the process would be "." Instead, Democrats have demanded more hearings on Trump's conduct and to hear from Barr — who oversaw the release of Mueller's report and infuriated Democrats by painting a rosy picture of its findings for Trump. They also want to bring Mueller in to testify next month.
Any impeachment effort led by the House likely would fail. Republicans in the GOP-controlled Senate have indicated they have no desire to remove the president from office. Mueller’s report revealed that multiple staffers didn’t comply with Trump’s demands, including McGahn, who recounted that he refused when Trump asked him to fire Mueller.
But on the left, there is a clamoring for Democratic leaders to initiate the retaliation action against Trump.
