House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) on Sunday said that “if proven,” the contents of special counsel Robert Mueller’s redacted final report are impeachable.
“Yeah I do,” think the contents of the report are impeachable, Nadler told “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd.
“If proven, some of this would be impeachable. Yes, obstruction of justice, if proven, would be impeachable.”
He added: “We’re going to see where the facts lead us.”
Nadler noted earlier in the interview that Mueller made no criminal determination on the question of whether the President obstructed justice in part because an existing Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel memo prevents the prosecution of a sitting president.
Mueller wrote that in light of that OLC memo, “Fairness concerns counseled against potentially reaching that judgment [on obstruction of justice] when no charges can be brought.”
On the question of impeachment proceedings specifically, Nadler said Sunday “we may get to that, we may not,” but that it was his responsibility to “go where the evidence leads us.”

That’s good. I’ll take that.
Nonsense. The very first thing AG Barr did on Thursday was to lay out the predicate as to why Pres. Trump did not obstruct the 'Collusion" investigation due to a ‘criminal intent’.
Pres. Trump was trying to stop a false ‘witch hunt’ (as he saw it) that was impinging on his ability to carry out his presidential duties, ergo: no criminal intent.
If it’s in the report, and Barr didn’t redact, it’s pretty much proven to me … until disproved.
Impeach the motherfucker.
As if the evidence has not already proven obstruction of justice beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Still slow-walkin’ it, eh, Jerry?
Impeachment Now!
