Booker: Congress has an Obligation to Impeach Trump
On the heels of a statement by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) called for the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump.
Speaking at the Department of Justice Wednesday morning, Mueller countered Trump’s claims that the Mueller Reporter exonerated him from obstruction of justice allegations.
“If we had confidence that the President clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said that. We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the President did commit a crime,” said Mueller.
Booker later issued the following statement:
“I have been asking for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony, and today he made his views clear. Mueller said directly that it wasn’t for lack of evidence that criminal charges weren’t brought against President Trump — but because of Department of Justice policy. He made clear that it is the role of Congress to evaluate evidence against a sitting President and act accordingly.
“Since the Mueller report became public, the president has consistently stonewalled Congressional oversight efforts and has made it nearly impossible to investigate serious open questions presented by the report. The president’s clear marching orders to Attorney General Barr and former White House Counsel Don McGahn demanding that they refuse congressional subpoenas is simply the latest example of the lengths to which this president is willing to go in order to prevent the American people from learning the truth.
“We have one remaining path to ensure justice is served. It is our legal and moral obligation to hold those who have committed crimes accountable. It’s clear that the House must begin impeachment proceedings. No one is above the law.”
More noise trying to get above 1%. The Constitution, which he has obviously never read, requires high crimes and misdemeanors while in office for impeachment. There is no evidence of anything of that nature. Spartacus needs to shut up and try being a US Senator, but that would mean he would actually have to do something for the first time in his life. Doesn’t he realize that the Far Left is just using him as a megaphone and then will ignore him for anything in the future? A big ego will eventually make you look like a fool.
