House Democrats are investigating if President Trump lied to special counsel Robert Mueller, according to CNN.

The House chamber’s general counsel told a federal court Monday they are probing whether Mr. Trump was dishonest to the special counsel in his written answers that were handed over during the investigation into alleged Russian collusion during the 2016 campaign and election interference.

“Did the President lie? Was the President not truthful in his responses to the Mueller investigation?” Douglas Letter, the House general counsel, reportedly said.

CNN reports the comments were made at the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. in a legal fight over the House gaining access to Mr. Mueller’s grand jury material

They would not be doing this if they believed the Ukraine nonsense is a needle mover

I'm guessing you're not allowed to lie to someone who launches an investigation on entrapment premises?

If the President lied, you don't think Mueller would have said something about it?

But the level of lying doesn't meet a criminal threshold but may reach an impeachable threshold.

Signed, Witch Hunt.

I can see where that went over your head.

This is their argument for getting the grand jury testimony/evidence.

The same testimony/evidence that Mueller had IN HAND when Trump provided his written answers.

So, Mueller and Weissman (and their stable of lawyers) were in possession of the information necessary to determine whether Trump's responses were untruthful, and did not make any statement that they were untruthful?

But, somehow, the House is going to be able to make that determination?

What else are they going to do? They can't win elections based on their vision for the country. Who would vote for someone wanting to turn America, the greatest nation ever into a 3rd world shite hole?

Seems to me that Mueller himself would already have determined this.

But Mueller did testify that Trump's responses were inadequate and untruthful.

The grand jury testimony is the direct material they would use to verify that.

At the moment they're trying to pursue a Ukraine-only track in the impeachment proceeding, but they want this in their back pocket.
