"As Mueller made very clear in his opening remarks, nothing he said wasn't already covered in his report. As I have previously argued, what he established there provides strong grounds for opening an impeachment inquiry — not to mention how Trump has flagrantly violated the Constitution by collecting foreign bribes and directing the White House budget into his own pockets, plus about 50 other outrageous scandals. Mueller's report was a perfect tee-up for a broader hearing into all that stuff.

But the Democratic leadership, it seems, is bent on avoiding impeachment at any cost. Instead of using the Mueller report to build a general case against Trump, and satisfy their base's demand to at least try to provide a check on his accelerating abuses, they hauled Mueller before the House to summarize his own report back to them like it's kindergarten story hour."
