@KamalaHarris
I'll say it again: Robert Mueller basically returned an impeachment referral in his report. Congress must hold this president accountable. The House must begin impeachment proceedings.

4. Mueller later clarified that answer.

The quote in the OP is accurate, but Mueller later clarified his remarks. According to CNN:

In his opening statement to the House intelligence committee, Special Counsel Robert Mueller clarified an answer he gave to Rep. Ted Lieu.

His original answer was seen as Mueller saying the only reason the President was not indicted was because, as president, he cannot be indicted.

However, Mueller clarified the correct view is that they made no assessment as to whether there was a crime or not because of the OLC guidance.

"Now before we go to questions, I want to add on correction to my testimony this morning. I want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by Mr. Lieu who said, and I quote, you didn't charge the President because of the OLC opinion. That is not the correct way to say it," Mueller said.

Mueller then corrected Lieu's wording: "As we say in the report, and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the President committed a crime. With that, Mr. Chairman, I'm ready to answer questions."

I want Trump out of office as much as anybody, we just need to make sure we're not spreading/succumbing to misleading information.

6. Yes, but Harris' statement about the report is still true.

5. Recommended.

And Mueller stated that he could not indict a sitting President.

Add 1 and 1 together and GOP voters get an answer of 0.

7. Now is the time. Can drag it out to election day. Not a bad thing for our Democrats.

Saunter thru the investigation and get tax returns.
