The findings of the Mueller probe may be public, but this hasn’t stopped Democrats who are on a mission to get President Trump. Despite the fact that the president will face no indictments for Russian collusion, this still isn’t enough for the left-wing.
As a matter of fact, Democrats have renewed their attempts to impeach President Trump, as documented by Fox News.
Reviewing the Facts
In essence, the Democrats view Mueller’s investigation as a sign that they ought to look into whether or not the president committed obstruction of justice during the time of the probe. For this reason, Democrats are now moving to impeach President Trump, yet again.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez explained her reason for signing onto the Democrats’ impeachment resolution:
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.

Ocasio-Cortez furthermore claimed that she “takes no pleasure in” talks of impeaching the president. This is rich, considering the fact that Democrats have regularly professed their eagerness to impeach Trump.
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.

Ocasio-Cortez used a lot of words, but the truth of the matter is that Democrats simply want the president to be guilty. It never mattered what the results of the Mueller investigation were. If the left wasn’t trying to impeach Trump, they’d be digging into his personal and business dealings, as they did before the release of the probe’s findings.
The Ultimate Reality
The ultimate reality is that President Trump did not collude with the Russian government in order to win the 2016 presidential election. In nearly two years of investigating, Mueller has found not one shred of evidence to support what the Democrats so desperately want to be true.
In his report, the special counsel stated that he couldn’t reach a conclusive decision on whether or not the president attempted to obstruct justice during the probe. Now, the Democrats have begun their latest attempt to impeach Trump so that Congress may “investigate” whether or not justice was obstructed.
