One Mueller Finding That Should Be In Impeachment

December 9, 2019 · 10:26 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Susan Hennessey: “Tomorrow morning we’ll find out if the House got this one right or wrong. Because, to put it bluntly, it would be a huge mistake to not including an article related to Mueller. It would be a mistake substantively and a mistake strategically. And the House Judiciary Committee’s recent hearings on impeachment show why.”

“The argument here is not that the House should include any or every plausible article based on conduct described in Mueller’s report. To the contrary, it would be unwise to be so overbroad. But there is a single, specific article of impeachment that should be included: one describing how the president of the United States obstructed justice by directing White House Counsel Don McGahn to create a false internal record denying that the president had instructed him to have Robert Mueller fired as Special Counsel.”
