Defiantly insisting that he did nothing wrong, Trump also denied a portrait of dysfunction in the White House where disobedient aides are said to have saved him from committing obstruction of justice by refusing to carry out his instructions.
US President Donald Trump said Monday that Congress “can’t impeach” him over the findings of the Mueller report into Russian election meddling and his alleged attempts to hamper the investigation.
Only high crimes and misdemeanors can lead to impeachment. There were no crimes by me , so you can’t impeach. The probe also found that Trump’s campaign took advantage of the impact on Clinton, but did not deliberately reach out to collude with the Russians.But Mueller did not rule one way or the other on whether Trump had committed the crime of obstruction of justice, effectively leaving the matter to Congress.
That made her the second candidate to do so after Senator Elizabeth Warren called for impeachment proceedings last week. Powerful House committees still plan to dig further into the scandal and are pushing to be given the whole Mueller report, including parts currently blacked out for security or legal reasons.
Democrats, however, say the report has demonstrated in detail that Trump is unfit for office, even if the evidence would be insufficient to prove crimes in court.

OP-ED: Co-responsibility, not populism, is what Brazil and South Africa need‘The country of the future, and it always will be.’ This was Brazil during the boom and bust years of the 1970s and ‘80s, when its people wondered if their country would ever realise its vast potential of wealth and opportunity. Today the same adage rings true. After five years of political crisis, economic decline and social upheavals, starting with an anti-corruption investigation that has become the largest in world history, and ending with the election of a right-wing populist, Brazilians and the world at large are asking whether Brazil can claw its way back and finally become the country of the future.
