Here's my take on it.
House Democrats will now have complete power to investigate and vote on articles of impeachment. Knowing that it would then take two-thirds of the Senate to convict, the House findings combined with Mueller's report could be so overwhelming that the Senate could be compelled to convict. It's even possible that Pence could also be impeached and convicted. Keep in mind that new House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is third in line for the presidency.
My guess is that House Democrats will not rush to impeach Trump - but I feel certain they will investigate the hell out of him and let the chips fall where they may. Mueller's findings will be paramount in whatever they decide.
Well, that's my take on it. What do you think?
I am concerned that Mueller is now going to be stifled by trump's political appointee....a man who carries Trump's water.
trump makes Nixon look like a choir boy. He is a brazen crimin a who is stepping on the US justice system....the man is scum....
Lawrence O'Donnell is currently discussing that situation. According to him, it isn't as scary as I originally thought. He said that Mueller can be called before the Democratic House and compelled to tell how he is being treated by Whitaker. He also said that the new Democratic House will definitely receive ALL of Mueller's findings and reports. I feel better...
Ha! Yeah, I caught a little of that piece also. Yes, Whitaker can carry the Orange Clown's water all he wants. He can also be found to be obstructing justice if he hampers Muller's search for the truth. The Dem House has oversight responsibilities over the Justice Department...as does the Senate. The Dem House MUST protect the integrity of the Mueller investigation.
As I said earlier, this so called president is as criminal and deceiving as anyone that has sat in the Oval Office. He is the White House Mafia Boss. He makes Nixon look like the Pope...He needs to be gone...
First you have to prove that the integrity has been broken.
Theories are not an impeachable offense .
