Democrats may have slyly alluded to the Mueller report in articles of impeachment
House Democrats didn't mention the Mueller report when announcing two articles of impeachment — one for abuse of power and the other for obstructing Congress — against President Trump on Tuesday.
Some folks who also wanted to see Trump get tagged with obstructing justice during the investigation into 2016 Russian election interference were disappointed in the fact that it wasn't a focus.
But others noted the report still looks likely to leave its mark on the articles, even if it's only implied.
