A new Change Research poll finds 52% of Americans say the Mueller probe was an “important investigation into a foreign government’s attempts to interfere with our elections,” while 43% say it was a “politically motivated witch hunt from the start.”

Meanwhile, 53% of voters say that President Trump should not be impeached, while 47% say that he should be.

President Trump once again joked about extending his presidency beyond two terms, the Washington Post reports.

After he was presented with a gift at an event for the Wounded Warrior Project, Trump said: “Well, this is really beautiful… This will find a permanent place, at least for six years, in the Oval Office. Is that okay?”

He added: “I was going to joke, General, and say at least for 10 or 14 years, but we would cause bedlam if I said that, so we’ll say six.”

Andrew Sullivan: “To refuse to use the one weapon the Founders gave us to remove such a character from office is more than cowardice. It is complicity. It is a surrender to forces which aim to make the world safe for authoritarianism. It may not work. But if we acquiesce, pretend it isn’t happening, or look away, it cannot work. This disgusting man is not just a cancer in the presidency. His presidency is a cancer in our Constitution and way of life. How long do we let this metastasize even further? How long before we take a stand? Mueller has given us the roadmap. He has done his duty. Now it’s our turn to do ours: ‘to support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic.'”

“There is no qualification in that oath of citizenship.”

Greg Sargent: “As the political world digests the shocking scale of corruption, misconduct and skirting of criminality detailed in the Mueller report, Democrats have been pushing back on the idea that it’s time to initiate an inquiry into the impeachment of President Trump.”

“But there’s a key tell lurking in all this pushback: Democrats are not seriously arguing that all the misconduct that has now come to light does not merit an impeachment inquiry.”

“This is creating a situation that’s shaping up as a moral and political disaster. Yet there’s no indication that Democrats are reckoning with the problems this poses. This, even though the basic dynamics of the situation strongly suggest that initiating an inquiry will grow harder to resist over time, not easier.”

Garrett Graff: “If Donald Trump isn’t guilty of obstruction of justice, who ever could be?”

“If this was any person other than the president of the United States, I can say as a former prosecutor, this would be a knock down for obstruction. I’ve charged and convicted on obstruction of justice based on a fraction of this evidence.”
