“I think it was his decision to make, but I think the way we basically held him to a higher standard than the GOP does other people has been used against us,” Buttigieg said. Buttigieg later said, "I think it is not a bad thing that we hold ourselves to a higher standard." — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg said Monday he “would not have applied that pressure at that time before we knew more” if he were in the Senate when there was a debate over whether then-Sen. Al Franken should resign over the allegations against him. — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg left the door open to making it a requirement that all guns are registered. “Let’s at least get it right going forward,” he said. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg says his plan for a “nationwide gun licensing system”would at first just apply to new purchases. “I think we can start on a go forward basis and then we will have a system we can actually use,” Buttigieg said during his MSNBC town hall in Fresno, California. — PolitiTweet.org

Harris says she believes Mueller was saying "Let me tell you what actually that report meant instead of what this other guy (Barr) was trying to say, and he said again today, in essence, we did not exonerate the president." — PolitiTweet.org

Harris - for the first time today - gets a Mueller ?: “Bob Mueller was saying to the American public, but for that advisory opinion from the office of legal counsel saying basically you can’t indict a sitting president, but for that"... " (Trump) would be subject to indictment." — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

To be clear, Harris has supported starting impeachment proceedings for some time now. But this was the first time today - in the wake of the Mueller statement - that the California Democrat mentioned impeachment in her stump speech. — PolitiTweet.org

Harris, near a crescendo in her speech here in Greenville, South Carolina, says, "We need a new commander in chief!" The line gets a standing ovation, but then - for the first time today in her formal stump speech - Harris adds, "And we need to begin impeachment proceedings." — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Sen. Harris, asked by CNN, declined to say whether she supports these new guidelines: “I mean, I am not in a position to tell the DNC what to do." But Harris said that she leans towards favoring a “robust process of letting everyone make their case to the American people." — PolitiTweet.org

Harris’ second event in South Carolina is a small “Women’s Meet & Greet” in Greenville hosted by Susan Riordan. Riordan, who endorsed the senator, introduced Harris by saying: “Ladies, we have waited our turn long enough.” https://t.co/c3Byxb6Tuo — PolitiTweet.org

Harris just wrapped up an event in SC where she took four ?s from the audience. Not one was about Mueller, his press conference or the report. The questions, instead, were focused on immigration, police shootings, uniting people after the primary — PolitiTweet.org

Harris to @KyungLahCNN in Anderson, South Carolina: "I think it's a fair inference from what we heard in that press conference that Bob Mueller was essentially referring impeachment to the United States Congress." — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

.@KamalaHarris to reporters in SC: "The special counsel did not return an indictment because of that memo. In other words, but for that memo, I believe that a fair inference from what we heard from Bob Mueller is that there would have been indictments returned against" Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kamala Harris starts her day in South Carolina with an event in Anderson. This is Harris’ sixth trip to South Carolina as a presidential candidate. By comparison, per @albertomoya160’s count, she has made three trips each to Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada. https://t.co/X5i3gHem3N — PolitiTweet.org

Mueller: “It would be unfair to potentially accuse somebody of a crime when there can be no court resolution of an actual charge.” — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

The news from this Mueller statement: “Under longstanding department policy, a president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. ... Charging the president with a crime was therefore not an option we could consider.” — PolitiTweet.org

Mueller’s first big announcement: He says he's closing the special counsel's office and resigning from the Justice Department to return to private life. — PolitiTweet.org
