Reading these together, Mueller is effectively saying "we concluded the President intentionally obstructed justice, but, because we can't indict him, we also can't say that explicitly in this report, and so we instead urge Congress to impeach him for it." pic.twitter.com/h73s0fHhRN

Here are some thoughts about what Democrats can do going forward: First, don't take impeachment off the table. It's premature and stupid. (also muzzle Steny Hoyer)
Puhleeze excuse the language … but this is what trump said when he heard Mueller had been appointed (and the graphic’s a takeoff on trump’s Game Over lie).
To those reporters who worked with DC Leaks and Guccifer 2.0, congratulations on being used as a tool of a Russian military intelligence attack on our country.
Regardless of whether the obstructive acts described by Mueller was criminal or whether the litany of illicit contacts with Russia rose to the level of conspiracy, they're dishonest, unethical, and unpatriotic.

No, the complete statement was – to paraphrase ‘ … off the table UNTIL the investigative process produces it’s results …. ‘. Please don’t be disheartened, pkayden. The process only began with the release of the redacted version of Mueller’s report which, in essence, is a case built by his team for Congressional action. Rep Nadler issued subpoenas this am; the ball is rolling.
Also, regarding anyone who doubts the impact the hearings that Nadler, Schiff and others will have didn’t live through Watergate the way I did.
This is despicable. "Julian Assange not only knew that a murdered DNC staffer wasn’t his source for thousands of hacked party emails, he was in active contact with his real sources in Russia’s military intelligence unit months after Seth Rich’s death." https://t.co/3o8HoTGmRC

The Mueller Report reveals the WH to be a full-blown CF of lies, deceit, criminality & cover-up but the @GOP is working overtime to convince you that not only is this how it should be but that Trump & his pathetic crew are the height of America's greatness. SHAME ON ALL OF THEM.
I listened to NPR interview a woman representing Move On and a male GOP representative about the Mueller Report findings. I foresee the GOP talking points going forward from this interview. He was picking the 2014 Russian election involvement in blaming Obama for the Russian intrusion. I had heard Trump say that earlier, but it may be the new talking points. When the Move On Rep brought up Mitch McConnell’s involvement the GOP Rep loudly talked over her turning NPR into a site that was unrecognizable to me.
People whine about Pelosi saying "impeachment is off the table". That's only half of what she said. It's "off the table" *until there is sufficient evidence".
The purpose of the investigations is to establish exactly that evidence.
Agreed and as far as I can tell either way you slice it investigations have to be the first step anyway. Ultimately we just need him to be indicted and convicted in the court of public opinion and we have 19 months to kill his re-election bid in its cradle. Let’s roll. https://t.co/pGMJMl8WHV

Time for the little russian to admit the Kremlin war-mongered on our election and how Putin machinated to elect him.
Time for him to admit that PBO responded with sanctions on Russia – and that Trump was working on lifting them even BEFORE the Inauguration.
Time for him to admit that PBO told McConnell about it before the election and McConnell refused and also threatened. (No penalty?)
Time for him to admit that he co-operated with Putin in Helsinki in a cover-up at the grave expense of our CIA and national security.
Dan Pfeiffer tweeted:
1. Russia interfered
2. They did it to help Trump
3. Trump wanted their help
4. Trump’s campaign met with the Russians to seek out that help
5. Trump and his campaign repeatedly lied about those contacts
6. Trump fired the FBI Director to stop an investigation into the matter
Mueller report mentions that the special counsel made criminal referrals in 14 cases. Only 2 are publicly known. What are the other 12 criminal referrals? https://t.co/bT2mu6TN7L
We remember the timeline:
-July 2016: Dutch intelligence agencies first alerted Washington about Russian interference based on work by their hackers which had accidentally got into the Russian network, from where they launched the attack on the DNC.
-August: The CIA gave PBO information from sources inside the Russian government showing direct involvement by Putin to mess up and discredit the US presidential election. Just a few people knew about it until the declassified report in January 2017.
-Then it took until fall to put the complex picture together = a massive cyber and social media campaign.
-GOP knocked the possibility of a bipartisan response on the head. (McConnell and party wanted Trump to look legit.)
-October 7th: Obama WH officially accused the Russian government of stealing and disclosing DNC emails, etc.
-Same day: This report was overshadowed by Trump’s ‘pussy tape”. (Yes the one that should’ve decimated his run.)
-Same day: Wikileaks email dump happened.
-November: PBO told Putin to “cut it out” at the G-20.
-December 29 2016: President Obama sanctioned Russia.

Just in case you lack access to your own responses – The Hill wants you to know you are…

ANY competent public corruption prosecutor would bring obstruction charges against Trump/and win.

The severity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty. That means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the President of the United States.
i wonder if Warren even spoke with Pelosi..before she decided to cross her re: this Impeachment…reminds me of Warren and the TPP…when she implied that Pres Obama…had lost his integrity
Some thoughts. I think people deserve to see all of this. What we CAN’T do, is nothing.
Some thoughts on where Democrats should go from here. They have a clear constitutional responsibility to take the evidence and conclusions in this report to their logical conclusion. But I would not start with a formal impeachment process.
Dear @SpeakerPelosi, no hearings or delays before you write & ask Mr #Mueller the core question: were it not for DOJ's "flawed restriction" would he have prosecuted #Trump?
