Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-CA), the incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said that Trump defrauded and conspired against the American people.
Rep. Nadler said on CNNs State Of The Union, Well they would be impeachable offenses. Whether they are important enough to justify impeachment is a different question, but certainly, they would be impeachable offenses because even though they were committed before the president became president, they were committed in the service of fraudulently obtaining the office. That would be an impeachable offense, but the fact of the matter is what we see from these indictments and charging statements is a much broader conspiracy against the American people involving these payments, involving attempt to influence the campaign improperly, involving the Russians trying to influence the campaign, involving the president lying for an entire year about his ongoing business dealings with the Russians.

I love it and watch it periodically just to give myself hope until it becomes reality. It's so well done.

They are just split into two camps, same as DU is. One camp wants Republicans on board first and the other wants to impeach him anyway.

These documents by Mueller sure seem to be target-rich. The new House can provide educational materials for citizens by way of subpoenas.
Imagine the enlightenment of the electorate when it comes time for televised hearings in the House.
