Trump Remains Defiant Over Impeachment

Five days after the release of the Mueller report, President Donald Trump remains defiant at the prospect of impeachment, saying he would ask the Supreme Court to intervene if the Democrats went down that road. He announced his intentions in a characteristic Tweet early Wednesday morning. He railed against Hilary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee, saying that if anyone is guilty of committing crimes, it’s the Democrats.

“The Mueller Report, despite being written by Angry Democrats and Trump Haters, and with unlimited money behind it ($35,000,000), didn’t lay a glove on me. I DID NOTHING WRONG. If the partisan Dems ever tried to Impeach, I would first head to the U.S. Supreme Court,” Trump tweeted. “Not only are there no ‘High Crimes and Misdemeanors,’ there are no Crimes by me at all. All of the Crimes were committed by Crooked Hillary, the Dems, the DNC, and Dirty Cops – and we caught them in the act! We waited for Mueller and WON, so now the Dems look to Congress as last hope!”

The Mueller report concluded that Trump and his campaign did not collude with the Russians to interfere with the 2016 election. However, the report was not clear on whether Trump and his associates had obstructed justice. However, leading House Democrats seem to be hesitant to move toward impeachment.

“I do believe that impeachment is one of the most divisive forces, paths that we could go down to in our country,” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said on Tuesday. She added that Democrats might have “no choice” if a further investigation finds Trump obstructed justice.
