The Democrats are definitely divided on what to do now that the Mueller report is out. Not surprisingly, the stupider fringy Dem socialists like Ocasio-Cortez are clamoring for impeachment:
Mueller’s report is clear in pointing to Congress’ responsibility in investigating obstruction of justice by the President.

It is our job as outlined in Article 1, Sec 2, Clause 5 of the US Constitution.
As such, I’ll be signing onto @RashidaTlaib’s impeachment resolution. https://t.co/CgPZJiULOL
While I understand the political reality of the Senate + election considerations, upon reading this DoJ report, which explicitly names Congress in determining obstruction, I cannot see a reason for us to abdicate from our constitutionally mandated responsibility to investigate.

Many know I take no pleasure in discussions of impeachment. I didn’t campaign on it, & rarely discuss it unprompted.
We all prefer working on our priorities: pushing Medicare for All, tackling student loans, & a Green New Deal.
But the report squarely puts this on our doorstep.

Uh, yeah, that’s BS, she’s been screeching about Trump since the beginning, and she very much encouraged it when asked – UNTIL Pelosi dumped on it. This is kinda important because she backed off on impeachment recently after the leadership told her to shut up about it.
Which, by the way, they’re still doing:
House Majority @LeaderHoyer just told me : “Based on what we have seen to date, going forward on impeachment is not worthwhile at this point. Very frankly, there is an election in 18 months and the American people will make a judgement,”

And he’s right. Impeachment is more of a political matter, and if you don’t have enough Americans behind you, it’s not gonna go anywhere and it’ll likely backfire – that’s exactly what happened with Bill Clinton. And you know they remember. Idiots like AOC don’t, of course, because history books aren’t woke enough for them to read.
Pelosi is implying they’ll do something, but it sounds like a bluff:
Pelosi letter to the Democratic caucus tonight: "The Mueller report states, 'We concluded Congress has authority to prohibit a president’s corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice' ... Congress will not be silent."

And Schiff-head is also against it:
Schiff says “barring a bipartisan consensus,” impeachment would be fruitless. He says he learned as a prosecutor that “you don’t bring a case if you don’t think you’re going to be successful just to try the case.” https://t.co/H3FGNDbf12

Trust me, this will go no where. They hoped Mueller would bring them a smoking gun, and he did not.
