Well That Clears It Up
Now that a redacted version of the Mueller report is out,
the biggest question is whether Democrats in the House will move to impeach
Donald Trump. Although Special Counsel Robert Mueller didn’t recommend
criminally charging the president with obstruction of justice or conspiracy, he
did lay out some pretty
convincing arguments as to why lawmakers should act.
House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler, who heads the
committee where the impeachment process would start, probably should know the
answer to this question. If he does, he’s not saying—yet.
Nadler was asked about impeachment and
obstruction of justice during an appearance Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press. “There is plenty of
evidence of obstruction,” he said, referring to Trump.
Host Chuck Todd asked Nadler if he’s laying the groundwork
for opening an impeachment inquiry, and if not, why not.
“I don’t think we’re doing that. We may get to that, we may not,”
Nadler said (emphasis mine).
