Elizabeth Warren: Mueller Report Shows Obstruction, ‘Initiate Impeachment’.

Mueller put the next step in the hands of Congress: “Congress has authority to prohibit a President’s corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice.” The correct process for exercising that authority is impeachment.

To ignore a President’s repeated efforts to obstruct an investigation into his own disloyal behavior would inflict great and lasting damage on this country, and it would suggest that both the current and future Presidents would be free to abuse their power in similar ways.

“To ignore a President’s repeated efforts to obstruct an investigation into his own disloyal behavior would inflict great and lasting damage on this country, and it would suggest that both the current and future Presidents would be free to abuse their power in similar ways,” Warren tweeted.

“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,” Warren tweeted.

In the wake of the release of the 400-page Mueller report that took two years to complete, Republicans feel they and Trump are vindicated because it concluded there was no collusion between Trump or anyone involved in the 2016 campaign and Russia.

It left open the possibility that Trump could have tried to impede the investigation but stopped short of concluding that he obstructed justice.

Warren joins a few other Democrats who have called for impeachment, mostly from far-left members of the party.

Some, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), have resisted calls for impeachment.
