In his first public statement since the beginning of his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, special counsel Robert Mueller said he did not intend to testify to Congress and explained that he did not have the "option" of charging the president with a crime.

Since Mueller's statement, Congress has been divided on the next steps. In the House there are several investigations underway and debate continues over impeachment proceedings. Many Republicans have reiterated their wishes for the investigation to be over, as Mueller concluded that charging President Donald Trump "is not an option."

When asked if House Democrats will hold the line on impeachment, House Intelligence Committee Chair Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., told ABC News' Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on "This Week,” that “I think we're going to do what's right for the country and at this point, the speaker hasn't reached the conclusion and I haven't had either it's not best for the country to put us through an impeachment proceeding that's destined for a failure in the senate. That calculus may change if the president continues to demonstrate his unfitness for office."

Since Mueller's statement, 51 House Democrats and nine of the 23 Democratic candidates for president have said they support opening impeachment proceedings against Trump.

1. OF COURSE HE SHOULD FOR FUCK SAKE

WERE YOU SHUT DOWN PREMATURELY

WERE YOU PREVENTED FROM INDICTING ANYONE OR INVESTIGATING ANYONE OR INTERVIEWING ANYONE

11. He is above having to testify before a lowly assembly of inferior beings. His majesty has spoken.

[LiberalLovinLug]

2. And what's with his "I don't intend to testify" bs?

ESPECIALLY after there was all this confusion with how Barr represented his work? You'd think anyone with a modicum of self respect and respect for the work he and others did, would volunteer to testify to set the record straight!

At the very least, do not go out of your way to announce that you do not have any intention of appearing before congress. I found that very disturbing. Because it sure sounds like he doesn't want to get caught by the House finding inconsistencies, and liberal interpretations or shaky interpretations of laws on the books to set up the perfect position he could use to avoid doing his job and instead punt the ball to a Trump cronie.

3. I didn't buy his relucatant crap in the 8 minute address. I expect more from a bronze star marine.

[DownriverDem]

4. Glad the Dems will run the hearing

because I don't trust Jordan.

[DeminPennswoods]

5. Jordan only wants Mueller to testify so he

and his GOP mates can grandstand for 5 minutes with a ? at the end.

[BigmanPigman]

6. He is going to grandstand like he did with Cohen.

His job is to turn it into a circus. I wish he would get busted for his crimes and fast (I am sick of that jacketless jackass).

[tableturner]

7. And when that jackass acts like a jackass in front of everyone, HE LOSES! I'm in favor of it!

[Evolve Dammit]

9. Yep. Got to investigate the investigators. And smear them of course. Glad he's in the minority now

[paleotn]

8. Gym Jordan....

Fuck him and his goddamn horse. I couldn't care less what that lousy piece of shit says.

12. The university conveniently found no important betrayal of the students by the staff.

[Progressive Jones]

10. What's "right for the country" is to begin treating Trump as the criminal he is. nt
