This was the question that Washington Post columnist and associate editor Eugene Robinson asked on MSNBC's Ari Melber show, The Beat, a few hours ago.
How much more does Trump have to do to warrant impeachment? Shoot someone on 5th Avenue?
What do you think?
Mueller Reiterates Investigation Didn’t Exonerate Trump, Hints At Impeachment
Mueller report - Department of Justice
Bad enough that the person leading the investigation of said president clearly indicates a crime committed. How about we start there? :
Mueller can indicate all he wants, but he needs sufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, that a crime was committed by Trump.
What Mueller failed to include in his hatchet job were probable legal defenses to the crime of attempted obstruction. Kind of like self defense is a defense to a charge of murder.
The prosecutor is required to prove each and every element of the criminal statute that he/she is charging. A defense to a single element is sufficient to nullify the presence of a crime.
Why are you so uninformed? You neglected to mention that Barr has NOT released the complete unredacted Mueller report along with all the hundreds or thousands of pages of supporting evidence. Congress is still fighting to get this valuable information that Barr is withholding.
Do you honestly believe that you or congress have the ability to find a crime in those thousands of pages of raw evidence that 18 prosecutors and over 50 FBI agents couldn't find in over two years.
An obstruction charge against Donald Trump would require the congress to prove a corrupt intent. Very hard to do in any case, and almost impossible to do to a president, who is the boss of the Attorney General.
