Hillary-- "...the Mueller report is part of the beginning. It's not the end,"...

She is right--now Congress has to do its part. I need patience. I do believe the Dems in the House will do their part in helping to bring Trump down!!--and Trump is running scared



Hillary Clinton on Trump: ‘Any other person who had engaged in those acts would certainly have been indicted’ for obstruction of justice

Key Points


Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that President Donald Trump only avoided obstruction of justice charges following the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report because of the Justice Department’s rule barring the indictment of a sitting president.


“I think there’s enough there that any other person who had engaged in those acts would certainly have been indicted,” Clinton said at the TIME 100 Summit in Manhattan.

Mueller did not conclude that Trump had committed a crime, but the report laid out analysis and evidence while making it clear that the investigation did not exonerate him.

“I think there’s enough there that any other person who had engaged in those acts would certainly have been indicted,” Clinton said at the TIME 100 Summit in Manhattan. “But because of the rule in the Justice Department that you can’t indict a sitting president, the whole matter of obstruction was directly sent directly to the Congress.”

Clinton, whom Trump defeated in the 2016 election, also called for the release of an unredacted version of Mueller’s report. “I’m really of the mind that the Mueller report is part of the beginning. It’s not the end,” she said.

“Every American who cares about holding our adversaries accountable, looking to prevent what happened from ever happening again, should take the time to go through,” she added.

As more high-profile Democrats call for impeachment proceedings against Trump, Clinton emphasized that the process should “be something undertaken in a really serious, diligent way, based on evidence.”.....................................
