No exoneration - echo opinion from Florida

Impeach of not to impeach?  That is the question. 

Palm Beach Post Editorial echoes published in the Daily Commercial newspaper, covering Lake and Sumter Counties in Florida:  

EDITORIAL OPINION- No matter how many times Donald Trump and his (brainwashed cult) allies declare the opposite, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report is not “complete and total exoneration.” Mueller says this plainly: “While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

On the contrary, the 448-page report Russian meddling in U.S. elections lays out in exhaustive detail how Trump possibly obstructed justice while failing to protect this nation against a grave attack on our election system by a foreign adversary.

Mueller writes that, despite many contacts between the Trump campaign and Russians in 2016, he could not establish a conspiracy between them. And he writes that he did not believe it was his job to bring criminal charges on obstruction of justice.

For that, it’s up to Congress, whose members, all 535 of them, swore to uphold and defend the Constitution. When a president allegedly violates his own oath to do the same, Congress has a duty to act.

Nancy Pelosi, the shrewd House speaker, is right to be leery of jumping into impeachment proceedings for the perfectly sound reason that, such a perceived rush to judgment would surely be seen as a purely partisan attack that would only further divide an already fractured nation.

(MaineWriter- Perhaps the impeachment of Trump might be perceived as political over reach, because he is already so unpopular. Nevertheless, Speaker Nancy Pelosi could legitimately call for the impeachment of the fake Attorney General William Barr, who lied to Congress.)
