Pelosi suggests impeachment inquiry could expand beyond Ukraine

Hunt them witches!

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Friday it's possible that controversies beyond Ukraine could be part of the impeachment case against President Trump.

Pelosi on Friday emphasized that the decision on articles of impeachment will be up to the committees handling the inquiry. She did not rule out the possibility that the obstruction of justice allegations against Trump in Mueller's report could come up.

"What we're talking about now is taking us into a whole other class of objection to what the president has done. And there may be other — there were 11 obstruction of justice provisions in the Mueller report. Perhaps some of them will be part of this," Pelosi said during an interview with Bloomberg Television. "But again, that will be part of the inquiry, to see where we go."
Mueller's report did not conclude whether Trump obstructed justice, but laid out 10 instances in which he may have done so, including firing James Comey as FBI director, pressuring then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions not to recuse himself from the Russia investigation and attempting to remove Mueller as special counsel.

For now, though, Democrats leading the impeachment inquiry are focused on uncovering Trump's dealings with Ukraine and whether he instituted a quid pro quo for U.S. military aid.

"This is not about his personality, his policies. That's for the election. This is about the Constitution. This is about defending our democracy," Pelosi said. LINK
