I watched Robert Mueller’s statement this morning.  He there was no evidence that Trump did not commit a crime.  He said that as a DOJ employee, DOJ policy does not allow him to charge a sitting [P]resident.  Because he could not charge, he refused to opine further.  He said the remedy is up to Congress, based on the evidence he preserved.  In the meantime The Congressional leadership is under pressure from more and more quarters to open an impeachment inquiry.<\/font><\/p>\n

[A]nother liberal activist organization is ramping up the pressure on House Democrats to launch impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, a move that leadership has continued to warn against amid low public approval rating for forcibly removing the president from office.   <\/p>\n

The campaign will feature a push for constituents to call and visit their Democratic representatives to sway their opinion, in addition to digital advertisements funded by Stand Up America. The group points to findings by special counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s report, which includes nearly a dozen detailed instances where Trump tried to remove Mueller from his post, for why it believes impeachment \u201ccan\u2019t hold off any longer.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time for every member of Congress to go on the record about whether they believe Trump\u2019s criminal conduct is acceptable,\u201d Stand Up America Founder and President Sean Eldridge told Newsweek in a statement. <\/p>\n

Stand Up America joins the likes of MoveOn and Need to Impeach, other liberal organizations that advocate for impeachment. The growing number of calls for such a proceeding from activist groups could put the Democratic Party in a more politically difficult situation, with leadership concerned that such a divisive process could place Democrats in swing districts in peril come 2020…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
