Article snippet: MORE (N.Y.), last week made the assertion that the country is experiencing a constitutional crisis. Nadler made his comments after his panel voted to hold Attorney General MORE in contempt for failing to turn over an unredacted version of Mueller's final report.  "We’ve talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. We are now in it,” Nadler told reporters following the vote. "Now is the time of testing whether we can keep a republic or whether this republic is destined to change into a different, more tyrannical form of government," he added. "We must resist this." The following day, Pelosi said at a press conference that she agrees with Nadler. "Yes, I do agree with Chairman Nadler because the administration has decided that they're not going to honor their oath of office," she said. It's unclear how congressional Democrats will move forward in response to the fallout from Mueller's report. Pelosi has not said if the full House will vote on the contempt resolution against Barr. Many progressive Democrats, meanwhile, including Rep. MORE (N.Y.), have called for the House to begin an investigation into whether Trump should be impeached.  However, Pelosi has steadfastly resisted to go forward with impeachment, arguing that it's a distraction and not the most effective way to win as the U.S. heads into an election year.
