So, Robert Mueller is gone. Poof…into the wind he goes. After two years, he finally concluded that there was no collusion and reiterated his position on obstruction, though he gave the entire Democratic Party a massive smoke signal to push for impeachment on that front. It’s it new. Meh. Not really. Since 2019 the Democrats have been slowly building up towards impeachment proceedings. Heck, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), his posse, and his politically motivated subpoenas over Trump’s taxes and bank records are all but a massive game of impeachment bingo. The Democrats are throwing up whatever against the wall and sees what sticks, even if it’s nowhere near as explosive as Russian collusion, which has been debunked. Or has it? Mueller used the phrase “insufficient evidence” to describe that aspect of his report today in a presser, where he took no questions. That’s odd. That’s a bit different than what’s in the report on this matter: “the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”
Note the change in language/emphasis. The Report is declarative that a Trump/Russia conspiracy was "not established." In Mueller's statement today, he used the "insufficient evidence" phrasing, leaving the door open to further speculation that a "conspiracy" actually did occur pic.twitter.com/1p98zIFogF

Yeah, Democrats read this aloud, folks. And liberal reporter and Russia collusion skeptic Michael Tracey, who has been torching the liberal media for peddling this collusion myth for the past two years, didn’t let this tweaking of the language slide. It was done to further pour gasoline on the impeachment bonfire that’s been slowly increasing its fury. That’s fine. Democrats can try to impeach, but we all know it won’t be successful. Thank you, Republican Senate. Still, the effect is now being seen. Scores of Democrats are now jumping hardcore on the ‘impeach 45’ bandwagon. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) has company now.
Robert Mueller’s statement makes it clear: Congress has a legal and moral obligation to begin impeachment proceedings immediately.

What Robert Mueller basically did was return an impeachment referral. Now it is up to Congress to hold this president accountable.

We need to start impeachment proceedings. It's our constitutional obligation.
Given that Special Counsel Mueller was unable to pursue criminal charges against the President, it falls to Congress to respond to the crimes, lies and other wrongdoing of President Trump – and we will do so. No one, not even the President of the United States, is above the law. https://t.co/w61a8rRQeK
