Elizabeth Warren takes a stand

April 19, 2019 By SomervilleTom

I just received the following email from Ms. Warren (full text):

The Mueller report lays out facts showing that a hostile foreign government attacked our 2016 election to help Donald Trump and Donald Trump welcomed that help. Once elected, Donald Trump obstructed the investigation into that attack.

Mueller put the next step in the hands of Congress: “Congress has authority to prohibit a President’s corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice.” The correct process for exercising that authority is impeachment.

To ignore a president’s repeated efforts to obstruct an investigation into his own disloyal behavior would inflict great and lasting damage on this country, and it would suggest that both the current and future presidents would be free to abuse their power in similar ways.

The severity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty. That means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the president of the United States.

I want to make sure you know where I stand.

— Elizabeth

This exemplifies why I like her so much. She reads the relevant portions of the Mueller report the same way I do. There is no reasonable alternative reading — the burden is on Congress to do what must be done.

I hope that Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Hoyer, and our entire Massachusetts congressional delegation is paying attention.

    Nixon was impeached for obstructing justice so why should Trump get off scott free? Bravo Senator Warren!

      Mueller’s report provides scores of obstruction evidence to justify an impeachment inquiry to begin now.
