Nadler’s Impeachment Quest Is Going Very, Very Badly

Over half of the Democratic caucus now supports impeaching the president. Those misguided folks could not have been thrilled by the following comment:

I don’t support impeachment. You know, I think it’s important for us to think about what is in the best interest of the country and the American people, and continuing to pursue impeachment is something that I think will only further tear our country apart.

That would be because the pronouncement was from one of their own, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii). Gabbard is an announced candidate for president, but not surprisingly she was not allowed to participate in the group of the “final 10” wackos, socialists, and Trump-hating candidates. The DNC is intent on pushing out all of candidates who don’t openly hate the President.

Speaking of openly hating the president, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) seems to be leading that charge. Nadler recently called back members of his committee early from vacation so they could reignite the impeachment fight.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and her squad of Congress girls were too young to remember Nadler’s pathetic defense of one President who really deserved impeachment: Bill Clinton. Clinton’s offenses were lying to every American who watched him on television with his shameless assertion, “I did not have sex with that woman.”

Worse, he committed perjury during civil proceedings when he denied his liaison with Paula Jones.

Nadler’s frequent appearances as a talking fathead–he weighed a lot more back in the 90s—had the sole purpose of carrying the Democrat talking point on impeachment: Yes, what Clinton did was reprehensible, but did not rise to the level of an impeachable offense.

Now that Nadler is on the other side of the fence, his tune has completely changed: a two-and-a-half-year investigation of President Trump found nothing—nada, zilch. However, the report specifically failed to exonerate the President. But President Trump must have somehow committed obstruction. Doesn’t complaining that the investigation team was stacked with Democrat operatives rise to the level of an impeachable offense?

Uh, Jerry—no it does not. Let it go and try to help the Democrats actually accomplish something before the next election. That would be the advice of the few remaining sane people in the party, but Nadler is afraid he will be elbowed out by the generation of mean girls led by AOC.

In fact, conservative Congressman Matt Gaetz got up close and personal with Chairman Nadler during a recent hearing, “I would hope that these proceedings are not about the chairman’s upcoming primary challenge.”

Democrats were shocked, shocked! Nadler, whose remaining hair must have been on fire, remained silent. It was a cheap shot, but to coin a phrase: where there is fire, there is smoke.

That smoke is in the form of one of Nadler’s Democratic primary opponents, Lindsey Boylan. Decades younger than Nadler and an enthusiastic lefty cloned from AOC’s radical views, Boylan is a well-sourced challenger to Nadler. And Nadler remembers the fate of Democrat establishment stalwart and moderate Joe Crowley, who lost to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2016.

Nadler sees the blood in the water and is pressing ahead with his political grandstanding. Unfortunately, for Nadler and his loony left cronies, things aren’t going well. Two examples:

1. The committee subpoenaed closed grand jury testimony from the Mueller investigation as part of their “impeachment inquiry.” It didn’t work, because the hearings as described by mealy-mouthed Nadler weren’t just for impeachment. They were to determine if an impeachment hearing should be held. Request denied.

2. Nadler’s first hearing fell apart when Corey Lewandowski, President Trump’s one-time campaign manager, obeyed White House instructions. He was not to discuss any conversations with the President unless those conversations were documented somewhere in the Mueller report. As committee staff scrambled to provide Lewandowski a copy of the report, a flustered and frustrated Nadler said he didn’t have time to look that stuff up.

A nonplused Nadler complained, “He’s filibustering.”

In the days that have followed this farce of a hearing, Nadler and other Democrats have toyed with the idea of holding Lewandowski in contempt of court for outwitting them.

During the hearing, another Democrat asked Lewandowski if he was Trump’s “hitman, the bag man, the lookout, or all of the above?”

Lewandowski smiled and replied, “I think I’m the good-looking man, actually.”

One member, alluding to Lewandowski’s own Senate election ambitions, chided the witness, “You are not on the campaign trail yet. This is the House Judiciary Committee. Act like you know the difference.”

But unfortunately, the House Judiciary Committee is run by a hack who knows the difference, but doesn’t care.
