Senator Bernie Sanders today called on Congress to pick up where Mueller left off—continue the investigation:
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called on Thursday for Congress to continue an investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 presidential election and whether President Trump sought to obstruct a law enforcement probe into the matter.
Sanders also said that lawmakers should take steps to bolster security ahead of future elections, suggesting that the president and congressional Republicans had so far stood in the way of such work.
“It is clear that Donald Trump wanted nothing more than to shut down the Mueller investigation,” Sanders said in a statement. “While we have more detail from today's report than before, Congress must continue its investigation into Trump's conduct and any foreign attempts to influence our election.”
“We must also work to do everything we can to protect our future elections from the significant threat of foreign interference, and I call on President Trump and Republican leadership to stop obstructing the necessary work to protect our democracy.”
The Hill: Bernie Sanders calls on Congress to investigate after Mueller report release
The House should continue to investigate all of Trump’s potentially unlawful conduct, and that’s a long list. Emoluments, payoffs, all sorts of obstruction, telling people to break the law and he’ll pardon them, so many other things.
A government of laws, and not of men.
