Social media is exploding with comments from lawmakers, legal experts, journalists, and the general public for Congress “do your job” and impeach President Donald Trump, after Special Counsel Robert Mueller addressed the American people and made clear his report did not exonerate the president. He also made clear there were many instances of obstruction of justice.
Mueller said that he never even considered charging the President with a crime because Justice Dept. policy prohibits him from doing so. But he also reiterated what he wrote in his report: if he had been able to clear Trump he would have.
“If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.”
