Before. they have tended to be feisty affairs. this is one we covered in january of 2017 when he and his constituents had one of the sort of gnarlier town halls on the issue of health care and repealing obama care. but today he knew he was going home to talk to his voters to do another town hall in his district after he became the first republican to say he read muellers report and he believed it was clear the president has committed impeachable offenses and the administration is trying to cover...

Im wondering what the next steps would be to ask for an impeachment inquiry. >> our question is although we -- its found in the mueller report that trump has made impeachable offenses, we want to know, because the impeachment process can take so long, that because of the 2020 election if impeachment process is worth the time that it takes because the elections coming up and it takes -- its such a lengthy process. >> so this is a great question. and its something that everyone has to wrestle with...

This investigation threatened to uncover information including criminal activity that could put trumps interests at risk. ultimately, the investigation did uncover very unflattering information about the president and his family, his associates, his campaign, and his business. it also revealed criminal activities, some of which were committed by people in trumps orbit and some on trumps behalf. the investigation began before the president was elected and inaugurated, after trump assumed the powe...

Congress, that we not allow misconduct to go undeterred, that we not just say someone can violate the public trust -- [ applause ] -- and that there are no consequences to it. and if you get a chance, i encourage you all to read the tweets where it lays all of this out. muellers report lays all of this out. and im confident that if you read volume two youll be appalled at much of the conduct. and i was appalled by it. and thats why i stated what i stated. thats why i came to that conclusion, bec...

Administration is trying to sell the public about the investigation and the report that isnt true. two days after his initial blast he says this.

Intended to illegally obstruct the investigation and therefore cant be impeached, those people are resting their argument on several falsehoods. 1, they say there were no underlying crimes. in fact, there were many crimes revealed by the investigation, some of which were charged and some of which were not but are nonetheless described in muellers report. 2, they say obstruction of justice requires an underlying crime. in fact, obstruction of justice does not require the prosecution of any underl...

Thought about this for a long time. like i said, i spent a month reviewing, analyzing, thinking about it. and i am concerned that weve gotten to the point where impeachment may never be used in any circumstance. and i think that is a greater risk than the risk that it will be used too often. as an example, in the mueller report he asked the white house counsel to create a false record. things like that, to basically mislead people about a statement he had made, things like that to me reflect inc...

That same judge has also ordered the justice department to release to the public the transcripts of conversations that mike flynn secretly had with the russian government about sanctions during the presidential transition. these are the conversations that the whole trump transition team lied about, everyone from sean spicer to vice president mike pence to k.t. mcfarland to flynn himself. they all lied about these conversations and said they never happened. we still dont know why they were all ly...

[ laughter ] and -- and he said once he read it the only conclusion he could draw is that donald trump obstructed justice multiple times and the house should impeach. [ applause ] now, ill be blunt. theres not much that i agree with justin amash on. hes a very conservative congressman, a libertarian. we dont always see eye to eye. but there are two things we agree completely on. and the first is that every member of congress should read the mueller report. [ applause ] and two, that the rule of ...
