Maddow: Pelosi Would ‘Rather Stick a Fork in Her Eye’ Than Impeach, But Mueller Presser Leaves Dems No Choice

RUSH EXCERPT:

MADDOW: “Today was the first day that we have heard from Mueller himself in his own words, and honestly, the consequence of hearing from him today for the first time is I think what is now the widely held expectation that the democratic controlled Congress will have no choice but to open an impeachment inquiry into President Trump. Not because they want to. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been blunt and consistent and insistent in making sure she would frankly rather stick a fork in her eye, but now we know that what Congress didn’t fully appreciate when they all initially cheered the appointment of Robert Mueller, when they praised him personally, when they praised the decision of the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel to look into this matter, what I think Congress didn’t fully grasp at the time was that the regulations under which Mueller was appointed meant that if this investigation turned up serious evidence of serious misconduct, if it turned up evidence of potentially criminal behavior by the president, the only and inevitable outcome of that determination by the special counsel would be that Congress themselves would have to do something about it.”
