Congress has not only the ability but the responsibility to continue the investigation into Trump's wrongdoing
Mueller has, then, offered Congress a road map in the second volume of his report, just as special prosecutor Leon Jaworski did after investigating the Watergate affair. The question is what Congress will do with it.
And indeed, Congress has not only the ability but the responsibility to continue the investigation into Trump's wrongdoing, beginning with but not stopping at obstruction. The administration has been blatantly violating the ban on self-enrichment , and his business connections with governments abroad – governments with which his administration regularly makes deals – remains shrouded in mystery.
Some Democrats, including Hoyer and Pelosi, have argued that they need not explore impeachment because the 2020 election will determine Trump's future. And it's certainly the case that if impeachment hearings get under way in the next few months, they will likely drag out beyond the federal election 18 months from now. But public will is not a substitute for political integrity. A campaign is not the same as a formal investigation; its results are not a barometer of criminality.
