Rep. Dan Kildee: ‘I Have Been a Very Careful Visitor to This Whole Conversation’ of Impeachment

EXCERPT:

KILDEE: "I have been a very careful visitor to this whole conversation because I think it's something we have to tread very lightly on. This is a very significant part of our oversight authority, but it's something we ought to be careful when we exercise it. I think about how I'm going to explain what I did in this moment 15 or 20 years from now to my grandchildren. And to think about the temporary electoral implications of this, I think it is an abdication of my responsibility. Unless the President significantly changes his course , becomes more transparent and is willing to cooperate with us and allow us to provide just the bare essential oversight on this administration, I don't think he's leaving us any choice. And of course, we can't ignore the fact that in the Mueller report, despite what Mr. Barr may have said, there are very serious instances where the President essentially directed people to break the law. And that's hard to turn away from."
