Jazz wrote about the growing push for impeachment this morning.

Pete Buttigieg speaks at a campaign event in Des Moines, Iowa, April 16, 2019.

Democrats and their complicit media wildly overpromised on how damaging the Mueller report would be to President Trump. They paid a huge price when Mueller did not deliver.
