Apr 24, 2019 12:59 am
Rep. Antonio Delgado made his first statement about the substance of the report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller April 22, repeatedly saying he's "troubled" by it, and saying he wants more testimony. "I'm troubled by it for a number of reasons. I'm troubled by the fact that at the highest level there's an acknowledgment that a foreign adversary, in a sweeping and systematic fashion, meddled in our election with the clear intent to undermine our democracy," Delgado said, opening a town hall meeting in Hoosick Falls. He also said he was troubled by the president and by the attorney general. He did not utter the word "impeachment," as others have since the report was released April 19. "There is still work to be done. We need to hear from Mueller. I need to understand... what the discussions were with his team and the D[epartment of Justice]," the first-term Congressperson from Rhinebeck said. "Let's let the process happen. Let's get some testimony on the books and continue the investigation. This cannot ultimately be a partisan outcome. This cannot ultimately rest on this party says one thing, this party says another. If that's the outcome it's not good for the country and it's not good for democracy."
