In reply to the discussion: Rachel Maddow Says The Media Narrative Following Mueller's Testimony Was All Wrong [View all]pnwmom
(108,951 posts)36. I don't understand what your concern is. Mueller had said over and over again
that he was going to stick to the "four corners" of the report. Why would you have expected him not to?
And multiple investigations and trials are still ongoing -- Roger Stone among them -- that could still yield more articles of impeachment.
The important thing to happen has happened: Nadler has official opened an impeachment investigation, based in large part on the Mueller report, and informed the court. There is no reason at all to rush to vote on articles of impeachment for just the obstruction charges, when further charges -- coming from ongoing investigations, including in the State of New York -- could be developed over the next year.

Rachel ignored the memo from the NBC bosses, and she drew her own conclusions

I'm not aware that any "facts on the ground" have changed since his testimony.

Unfortunately, how the media frames events has a major effect on how people perceive it.
