Nadler on the Mueller Report: ‘There Could Be Grounds for Impeachment’

MARGARET BRENNAN: But is- is the bottom line here is you acknowledge that what was put forward may not be indictable but big picture you’re saying there are things in this report that could be impeachable- grounds for impeachment.

REP. NADLER: Well who knows. There could be grounds for impeachment. There could be grounds for other action. There could be things the American people ought to know. You know, you can commit shameful acts, you can commit complete betrayals of the public interest without committing impeachable acts. And if you did that the public ought to know that too.

MARGARET BRENNAN: So—

REP. NADLER: And- and the standard- the standard here is not an impeachment. The standard is what was- did- the standard is we have to protect the public from presidential misconduct from anybody else’s. And the public has to know about it. And we have to get all the evidence so we can subject to—

MARGARET BRENNAN: Right.

REP. NADLER: —to protecting certain classified information- a decision that the Judiciary Committee has always made in the past and can make now. The public ought to know all of it.
