Calls For Trump’s Impeachment Intensify After Robert Mueller’s Press Conference

Democratic leadership probably isn’t too happy with Robert Mueller’s Wednesday press conference, as the Special Prosecutor made it clear that his hands were tied with regards to bringing charges against Trump, but that doesn’t mean that someone else couldn’t. Democratic leadership in the House has for weeks been trying to calm impeachment talk, but Mueller’s press conference has made those calls for impeachment louder and more numerous – to the point where they can’t be ignored anymore. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Ever since. Robert Mueller stepped away from that podium yesterday to give his little press conference about his report. Calls for impeachment have grown to a deafening level here in the United States. Democrats, including some more centrist establishment type Democrats are now out there saying, Nancy , as speaker of the House of Representatives, third in line for the presidency, you've got to move forward with impeachment. There's no more gray area here. There's no more dominoes left to fall. You've postponed this long enough. We no longer think you're playing a long game. You got to go forward with impeachment. Robert Mueller basically gave us that coated talk telling us we needed to do that. Now here's the interesting thing about this whole impeachment thought. You do have the, uh, you know, Nancy Pelosi leadership in the House of Representatives. They're afraid to bring impeachment or start an inquiry because they think it could end up hurting Democrats in 2020.

You have other people on the left, uh, both far left, middle left, centrists left, whatever it is, you know, all walks of life over there. That also fall into that category saying, listen, this is going to backfire spectacularly because we know that the Senate is not going to vote to convict and remove. The numbers are not there. There's not enough, uh, you know, centrist kind of Republicans in there to go along with it will never hit the 67 number. Why even bother? Because this is a big waste of time and it's going to make Democrats look foolish. It's gonna turn off moderate voters. They already don't like Trump, but if you go after this and then he's not convicted, they're gonna maybe like I'm a little more and to all of that, and I understand those are decent reasons. I, I don't necessarily disagree with you except that the history disagrees with you.

And that's, that's the problem. The facts aren't there to necessarily back up these arguments. I understand the concerns. I have them too. But if we look historical on this issue, we go back to the 2000 election. 44% of voters said that the impeachment of Bill Clinton weighed heavily on their minds and help to influence their vote in the 2000 election.
