Rep. Bass said on MSNBCs The Beat with Ari Melber:
I think its about doing our job. And so it is possible that we might have to move forward with impeachment, especially if information keeps coming out where the president has been involved in illegal activity. I find it ironic that my Republican colleagues who often wave the flag of law and order are all of a sudden getting squishy over, well, these really arent serious offenses. So we are talking about the president of the United States. So I think its very important that we not jump the gun, that we be methodical about our approach. I believe the first step of that approach is to provide the oversight that Congress has not provided over the last two years. - PoliticusUSA
Title is a little misleading.

(7,876 posts)I actually think that should be the stance that Democrats take when asked "the impeachment question."
The Mueller report could have many crimes that need to be included in any potential impeachment charges.

(3,344 posts)Some have been more aggressive. They all know what's coming. They all know impeachable offenses are coming. In the meantime, they will be doing investigations in the open that will be extremely damaging.
The media's obsession with the question, "Are they going to start impeachment on January 3rd?" is garbage sensationalism from the press.

(537 posts)No harm in doing both in parallel, is there?
Seems to me the House has a different set of tools to avail themselves of.
As long as they don't step on Mueller's toes, why not?
