Big Chief Elizabeth Warren is now calling on Congress to begin impeachment proceedings for Trump, which is just ridiculous.
Here’s her statement via Twitter::
The Mueller report lays out facts showing that a hostile foreign government attacked our 2016 election to help Donald Trump and Donald Trump welcomed that help. Once elected, Donald Trump obstructed the investigation into that attack.

Mueller put the next step in the hands of Congress: “Congress has authority to prohibit a President’s corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice.” The correct process for exercising that authority is impeachment.

To ignore a President’s repeated efforts to obstruct an investigation into his own disloyal behavior would inflict great and lasting damage on this country, and it would suggest that both the current and future Presidents would be free to abuse their power in similar ways.

The severity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty. That means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the President of the United States.

Trump NEVER obstructed justice. He certainly had the power to but he NEVER did in any way. Whether he wanted to or thought about it might be a different story. But the point is he never tried to stymie the investigation and cooperated fully.
Elizabeth Warren is just trying to appeal to the Democrat base because her poll numbers suck. She’s looking for a way to get attention now and being the first one to call for Trump’s impeachment is the best I guess she could muster.
Also, should she win the Democratic primary, I’m sure she doesn’t want to run against a president who was just vindicated by the investigation, so she and all the other Democrats have to pretend this report shows that Trump’s guilty. They have to make him look as damaged as possible because he’s withstood all of their attacks up to this point and could be stronger than ever going into 2020. And that’s the last thing they want.
