2020 presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., on Saturday doubled down on her call for the House to open impeachment proceedings against President Trump in the wake of the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report -- even as others in her party appear wary of such a push. Democratic leaders have so far focused on demanding access to the full, unredacted report and have also called for Mueller to testify to Congress. "That means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the President of the United States. MUELLER REPORT IGNITES NEW DEM BATTLE OVER IMPEACHMENTIn justifying her call, she said on Saturday that there are “three big toplines [from the Mueller report] that are inescapable.”“A hostile foreign government attacked our 2016 election in order to help Donald Trump; Donald Trump welcomed that help; and when the federal government tried to investigate what happened, Donald Trump took multiple steps to try and derail or obstruct the investigations,” she said. Impeachment proceedings would almost certainly be dead-on-arrival in the Republican-controlled Senate and risk-taking 2020 Democrats away from their policy agendas to focus on impeachment.
