    What I find amazing is how Schiff isn't just forgiven, he's worshipped for lying. The blue wave House is going to spend the entire 116th session trying to rationalize a hoax perpetrated by the previous congress delusional (D)'s. No legislation coming from the blue wave majority, and no impeachment to justify their legislative dereliction either? That just ought to cost Schiff his seat, but everyone knows it won't. The "resistance" sanctimony, and hypocrisy knows no bounds.

    Meat on the bone for what? If Mueller could not find collusion then what is there? Obstruction? He couldn't find that either and even if he did the Democrats were clear with Clinton, obstruction of justice is not an impeachable offense let alone a removable one. Why are the Democrats wasting their time on it?

    It means they can't leak the contents without going to jail.

    That's why Democrats rejected the offer.

    I don't know who you are listening to for these conclusions. Mueller found ten clear cases of obstruction of justice and the "collusion" aspect is worth considering in public hearing. Mueller didn't indict because he chose to throw the Report in the lap of Congress for congressional action. That's where it stands now, with Congress. They have the power to impeach or censure. Mueller did not.

    Not only did Trump get caught in obstruction of justice, he continues to obstruct by telling staffers to disobey lawful subpoenas. If Congressional oversight is a waste of time to you, I suggest you get a passing interest in the Constitution because this is their job. The the Republican's were derelict in their responsibility of oversight. That ended in November 2018.

    If if makes him feel any better (and I don't really care if it does), I personally don't believe all 11 Lettered items in Volume 2 of the Mueller report are "clear" cases of OOJ. Well, legal OOJ anyway.... All of them are potentially impeachable OOJ..

    I think the most obvious examples are Sections B (Flynn), E and I (McGahn/Mueller), and F (Lewandowski/Sessions). After Nadler gets McGahn, my guess is Lewandowski will be next. Or he may just stop at the 2 McGahn items and go right for impeachment on those 2 examples at that point.

    Surprisingly, while I believe Section D (Firing Comey) is OOJ, it just doesn't jump off the page like some of the others and I bet Nadler doesn't touch that one. I call that one OOJ-lite...

    Where's the impeachment? The Democrats are in charge of the House, where is it?

    If he'd found obstruction of justice he would have charged but what is the point, it is not an impeachable offense remember? And no he did not throw it to Congress for further action, he reccomended they review the law as it applies to a President. He levied no charge of obstruction of justice and I feel quite confident he and his team of expert prosecutors know better what is and what isn't a legal case of obstruction of justice.

    Congressional oversight is for the operations of the Executive Branch not the President. If they want to impeach then they should start impeachment hearings and explain to the American people why they said obstruction of justice was not impeachable for Clinton but is for Trump and then how Trump obstructed the legal process.
