slams Democrats over talk of impeachment as Nadler, Schiff say they're ...

President Trump slammed Democrats on Sunday for suggesting that they may be preparing articles of impeachment.

Trump tweeted on Sunday evening: ‘How do you impeach a Republican President for a crime that was committed by the Democrats?

‘MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’

It is unclear what ‘crime’ the president was referring to, though he was likely reacting to statements by senior Democratic lawmakers on Sunday suggesting that impeachment of Trump was an option.

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler said on Sunday that Congress might get to an impeachment inquiry on Trump if that is where the evidence leads them.

'We may get to that. We may not. As I've said before, it is our job to go through all the evidence, all the information we can get,' he said Sunday on NBC's 'Meet the Press.

'Obstruction of justice, if proven, would be impeachable,' he added. 

'If we pursue this, we might put ourselves in an impossible position because we would then have to charge the president with a crime which the Justice Department won't permit us to do,' he noted.

Longtime Justice Department policy forbids a legal indictment of a sitting president. 

Nadler's warning to Trump comes as he pursues a full, unredacted copy of special counsel Robert Mueller's report.

The Democrat from New York has subpoenaed such a copy and had asked Mueller to testify before his committee.

He told NBC News he also wants to hear from former White House counsel Don McGahn who told Mueller's team that Trump asked him to fire the special counsel.

McGahn threatened to resign instead and Trump was reported to have dropped the matter.

Attorney General William Barr is scheduled to testify before Nadler's committee early next month.

'We have to hear from Barr. We have to hear from Mueller. We have to hear from other people, like Don McGahn, whom we're going to call. We have to get the entire report, including the redacted material, so we can evaluate it,' Nadler said.

Barr offered to let a bipartisan group of lawmakers look at a less redacted version of the report - but would not include evidence being used in grand juries. 

Democrats refused, saying they want to see the full, unredacted report. The matter will likely end up in federal court.

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff said echoed Nadler's impeachment threat on Sunday when he said that Democrats may take up impeachment against President  Trump.

'It may be that we undertake an impeachment,' he told ABC's 'This Week.' 

'I think what we're going to have to decide as a caucus is what is the best thing for the country. Is the best thing for the country to take up an impeachment proceeding because to do otherwise sends a message that this conduct is somehow compatible with office or
