Warren: A constitutional duty to start impeachment proceedings

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2019/apr/19/mueller-report-donald-trump-latest-news-live-updates-subpoena?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

”The Mueller report lays out facts showing that a hostile foreign government attacked our 2016 election to help Donald Trump and Donald Trump welcomed that help. Once elected, Donald Trump obstructed the investigation into that attack.

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.

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.”

She just moved up on my list.
Will other candidates follow suit?
She is a full blown liberal.
Barr isn’t going to release all of the Mueller report unless we impeach.

Good for her. Democrats no longer need to act like a battered wife, trying to appease an abusive president for fear of angering his deluded followers. Amen!!! Easter surprise: All things made new!!!

She is a sitting Senator and would be a member of the jury should there be impeachment, so she should probably keep that in mind going forward.
