There is reaction to Justin Amash (R-MI) call for the impeachment of President Trump. Senator Amash tweeted his opinion after reading the redacted Mueller report.

Here are my principal conclusions:
1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report.
2. President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct.
3. Partisanship has eroded our system of checks and balances.
4. Few members of Congress have read the report.
