“When the full scope of the president’s misconduct has been revealed, when his lies are debunked and his abuses have been laid bare, I believe that members of Congress on both sides of the aisle will draft legislation to curb the worst of his offenses,” wrote Congressman Jerry Nadler.

On the heels of special counsel Robert Mueller not concluding whether President Donald Trump’s actions constituted obstruction of justice, a top House Democrat says Congress should draft new legislation to outlaw such behavior in the future.

Barr wrote in his four-page summary of Mueller’s principal conclusions that, after consulting with Justice Department officials and reviewing the matter, he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein concluded the evidence was “not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense.”

"Dangling a pardon in front of [former Trump campaign chairman Paul] Manafort, who is a witness in a serious investigation in which Trump is either a subject or a target, could be viewed as obstruction of justice," Nadler told Newsweek last year.Nadler announced Monday morning that his committee will be voting Wednesday to authorize subpoenas for Mueller’s full, unredacted report and its underlying evidence, in addition to relevant documents from several former White House officials.

Jerry is bitter because POTUS teased him about his morbid obesity. Get over it, Jerry.

Instead of making shit up constantly and trying to double jeopardize trump by investigating him multiple times for shit he’s been proven innocent multiple times. Just admit you’re only trying to impeach him constantly because you know you won’t beat him in a general election.

OK highbrow.

ok...fine....change the laws. Do your job. Quit making up crimes so you can impeach a president.

Let’s have a bet - u will cry like a baby come 2020.

Democrats largely give up on impeachment in wake of Mueller reportInvestigators in the House are focused on questioning why Attorney General William P. Barr decided that Trump should not face obstruction of justice charges. I think trump needs to go. Let him be ousted in 2020. This country is facing many major issues and things that need to get done, for the countey, not things that only benefit the trumps. We don't have time for the idiotic bullcrap trump brings. Defeat trump in 2020!! Can’t impeach unless a crime was committed, no crime was committed no matter how bad you wanted one committed.

In pursuit of Mueller's grand jury materials, Democrats face an impeachment dilemmaIn their reply to Attorney General William Barr, the committee chairs noted — without going into detail — that there’s legal authority for the release of grand jury materials to Congress “under similar circumstances.” The grand jury is also a potent investigative tool. Only reason we have conflict is tRump ordering Barr to delay the report so that he can exclude the truth from the report.

Democrats' strategy on Mueller report: Steer clear of impeachment, talk about health careDemocrats, looking to pivot away from Mueller, saw it as a political gift when the Trump administration told a court it wanted to toss out Obamacare. Obamacare is a sham. Anyone who paid into it knows that. Wrong. There is no pivot. Let’s see the Mueller report not the Barr report. You libs have no idea what about go down... Hint: YOU!!
