“Even though I believe Mr. Trump is morally unfit to be president of the United States, I’m not rooting for Mr. Mueller to demonstrate that he is a criminal,” the former FBI director said.
Former FBI Director James Comey, the man at the center of frequent rants by President Donald Trump concerning the Russia probe, said he does not want special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation leads to the president’s impeachment.
In a surprise move, Trump told reporters Wednesday that the report should "come out, and let people see it."“I hope that Mr. Trump is not impeached and removed from office before the end of his term,” he said. Comey wrote that should Congress be successful in an impeachment attempt, it would only further divisions within the country because many Trump supporters would view such a forceful removal as a"coup." That’s not to say, he wrote, that Congress, if compelled by the evidence, should refrain from initiating impeachment proceedings. But the former FBI director said Democrats should push for something far more productive, such as taking back the White House in 2020.
"It is deeply concerning that the president of the United States would try to protect himself by torching the institutions of justice,” Comey wrote.

Mueller makes history exposing crime spree by former Trump aidesIn a special report, MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent, Ari Melber, examines how despite claims that the Russia probe is a “witch-hunt”, Bob Mueller has proven to be one of the fastest and most effective Special Counsels in U.S. history, racking up indictments at the fastest pace since Watergate. Melber runs through the numerous achievements in the Russia probe, noting that “it’s a lot” and demonstrates how despite Trump’s relatively short period in office, the Mueller probe has seen “the highest rate of indictments for his aides than any President ever”. Former Chief of Staff to Bob Mueller, John Carlin, tells Ari Melber “we should be proud as Americans, but also alarmed at what he’s been able to show us has occurred”.
