Celebrities call for impeachment after Mueller declines to clear Trump: 'Congress do your job'

Special counsel Robert Mueller broke his silence about the Russia investigation on Wednesday and all eyes were on him as he did.

During his public statement, he said the investigation he helmed could not clear President Trump. He explained, “If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.” Mueller also said his office could not bring criminal charges against the president because it would be be unconstitutional per Justice Department policy barring the prosecution of a sitting president for a federal crime. “Charging the president with a crime was, therefore, not an option we could consider,” he said.

While Trump saw Mueller’s statement as good news — he said “nothing changes” and the “case is closed” — many don’t agree with his assessment.

Social media was flooded with reactions from presidential hopefuls (Warren, Booker, Harris, O’Rourke), TV personalities, actors and activists. Hollywooders seemed united in their call on Congress to “step up” and “Impeach Trump.”

While Rosie O’Donnell went with a simple “trump - guilty AF,” director Rob Reiner wrote, “The President of the United States obstructed Justice. Now it’s up to Congress to do its job. #ImpeachTrump.” Actor Jon Cryer called for #ImpeachmentHearingsNow.” And actor John Cusack shared his interpretation of Mueller’s statement, writing, “Mueller said I’m giving you everything you need you morons - congress do your job - Basically.”

But as far as Trump is concerned, it’s game over. Press secretary Sarah Sanders also said the case is “closed” in a statement. She wrote: “The special counsel is moving on with his life, and everyone else should do the same.”

And, of course, Donald Trump Jr. also had his dad’s back.
