Joe Biden: Congress ‘no alternative’ but impeachment if Trump blocks followup of Mueller’s findings
CNBC ^ | April 30, 2019 | by Kevin Breuninger

Democratic 2020 frontrunner Joe Biden said Congress will have “no alternative” but pursuing impeachment if President Donald Trump or his associates block investigations based on special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report.

In an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America” broadcast Tuesday, Biden said that Mueller’s 448-page report on Russian election interference included “about seven or eight things that are left undone.”

“The Congress is attempting to take that up” for investigation as they should be doing, said Biden, who launched his presidential campaign last week. “And if in fact [Trump or his associates] block the investigation, they have no alternative but to go to the only other constitutional resort they have,” which Biden said “is impeachment.”

Biden has taken aim squarely at Trump since announcing his candidacy, and now has established his own line in the sand on impeachment. But he said in the ABC interview that “my job in the meantime is to make sure he’s not back as president of the United States of America.”

The White House did not immediately provide a comment on Biden’s remarks.

So impeach if they use the Court system to fight subpoenas. Yea, right.

I say he drops out by 4th July.
He’ll blame it on poor health and must spend time with the family.

“Dear Sleepy Joe: You gotta list to share?”

No, he doesn’t. But he does have a very precise timeline:

These items will take exactly 1.5 to 5.5 years to thoroughly address, depending on whether President Trump is reelected.

Biden made his remarks while rubbing the chest of a nine-year old girl, who try as she might, was unable to slip free of the former Vice President’s grip.

He will inevitably decline in the polls, that negative momentum is impossible to overcome.
