Beto O'Rourke Bluntly Answers Whether Trump Committed Prosecutable Crimes: 'He Did.'


By Tommy Christopher June 9th, 2019, 1:27 pm

-snip-

On Sunday morning’s edition of This Week with George Stephanopoulos, host George Stephanopoulos asked O’Rourke about Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi‘s reported comment that she’d rather see Trump in prison than impeached.

“We heard Nancy Pelosi — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi say this week that she wants to see the president in prison,” Stephanopoulos said, and asked “Do you think the president committed crimes that could be prosecuted?”

Without hesitation, O’Rourke replied “He did.”

“I think that’s clear from what we have learned from the Mueller report,” O’Rourke continued, adding “But I think those crimes might extend beyond what we’ve seen in the Mueller report. Using public office for personal gain for himself and for his family, the relationship that he has with Vladimir Putin, which has never been properly explained, from the invitation as a candidate to have Russia involve itself in our elections, his efforts to obstruct justice, the fact that he called Vladimir Putin after the Mueller report was released, called it a hoax, thereby giving him a green light to further participate in our democracy and in our elections.”
