Democrats will target Trump no matter what the Mueller report says

TThe Mueller Report will be the starting point for President Trump's outrageous assault by congressional Democrats.

There is every reason to believe that Mueller could conclude his investigation early next week. Republicans predict that Mueller will find no evidence of his connivance with Russia, and the policy of the Justice Department is that a sitting president can not be indicted.

But even if the Mueller report is far removed from the torch of Democrats, they now control the House of Representatives and show no sign of abandonment.

Representative Ted Lieu, D-Calif., Said Congress should act even though Mueller is not indicted. "If the text says," Hey, we would have charged Donald Trump for these offenses, but for the fact that there is a prohibiting policy note, "then I think Congress really needs to look at these issues and decide what to do whatever the offenses revealed by the investigation of Robert Mueller ".

Location, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, told CNN that Congress would continue to investigate once the investigation into Mueller would be complete. "We will also look at other issues," he said, "including obstructing justice, manipulating witnesses, and abusing power." He described Trump's dismissal by FBI director James Comey, "the classic obstruction to justice".

He said the Democrats in the House were preparing the ground to downplay Mueller's report if he did not claim that Trump had committed crimes: "Regardless of what Robert Mueller's report shows, investigations are under way. in the Southern District of New York and General Investigations – so we will continue to ensure that all possible crimes committed by Donald Trump and his associates will be investigated. "

Representative Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., Who sits on both the Judiciary and the Intelligence Committees of the House, said he would sue former Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, declaring : "We have to get him back." He talked about expanding the investigation to "Having heard from other witnesses and assigned other documents."

Using strident language, Swalwell said that Congress must "intervene" and "forbid" in the name of the rule of law.

Swalwell, who could be a candidate for the White House in 2020, said that "no matter what the scene of this crime, it is clear that the president is an obstacle."

He continued: "This is someone who manipulates witnesses.It is someone who is not honest with the American people.No matter of who comes the prospect, they all say the same. thing."

Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said, "You can see evidence at hand on the issue of collusion." Speaking of the state of the CNN Union, Schiff enumerated the Trump Tower meeting in the summer of 2016, George Papadopoulos and Mike Flynn's interactions with the Russian Ambassador , Sergey Kislyak, testify to the collusion between Trump and Russia.

Schiff admitted, however, that "there was a difference between seeing evidence of collusion and being able to prove a criminal conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt" and stated that "it will be up to Mueller to decide whether this amounts to a criminal conspiracy. ".

When asked if he would accept Mueller's findings, Schiff said, "We will have to conduct our own investigation, and we are."

Senator Richard Blumenthal, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Thursday that even though Mueller was finishing soon, he felt "there is still a lot of work to be done in this investigation."

As Mueller's investigation comes to an end, congressional-led Democrats' investigations only heat up.
