Powerful Democrat Demands Federal Intervention Over Kyle Rittenhouse Acquittal: ‘A Dangerous Precedent’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) is demanding a “federal review” of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, claiming Friday the acquittal of the 18-year-old amounted to a “miscarriage of justice.” . . .

Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, called on the Department of Justice to intervene over the “heartbreaking verdict.”

Unfortunately, Nadler also repeated the media’s misleading narrative about Rittenhouse being armed and having crossed state lines.

Although interstate travel is completely legal, Rittenhouse did not cross from Illinois to Wisconsin while armed. In fact, Rittenhouse’s dad lives in Kenosha, and the AR-15 rifle that Rittenhouse was armed with never left Wisconsin. And, at any rate, Rittenhouse lives in Antioch, a town on the Illinois-Wisconsin border just 20 minutes south of Kenosha.

WATCH: Unhinged Democrats Call Trump a Dictator During Impeachment Proceedings

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. The Democratic Party has been trying to oust Donald Trump since day one. It’s been an unhinged pursuit that was finally captured in one sentence by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY): “He is a dictator.” Nadler said of the president. Yeah, and this is an impeachment move by Democrats that isn’t political or partisan in any way; it’s not a cause of celebration. Please—this was done to appease the base and yes, the personal agendas of House Democrats. They tried to make Russian collusion into a thing. It failed. And now we’re off on this Ukrainian phone call where Trump supposedly threatened to withhold aid unless a corruption probe was opened into Hunter Biden’s board position at Burisma. This case is shoddier than the Russian collusion allegations that have been exposed as media myths. There is no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, though for two years we were told the walls were closing in on this administration.

There is no such thing as an elected dictator. Nadler and his ilk have just shown what many of us already knew, which is that the impeachment push itself, not Trump’s actions, are what’s really corrosive to the Constitution and the institutional integrity of the country. The Democrats have no case. It’s a partisan witch-hunt, which is why the president has rightfully made things very difficult when it comes to this circus. There was no evidence for the collusion goose chase. There is nothing to the quid pro quo allegations.

‘Stunned’ Sen. Collins objected to Nadler’s impeachment accusation in note to Roberts

By Fox News. One House Democrat’s accusation amid the Trump impeachment trial “stunned” even the most moderate of Senate Republicans, reportedly prompting GOP Sen. Susan Collins to write a note to Chief Justice John Roberts about decorum on the floor of the upper chamber.

Collins, R-Maine, is the latest to signal her concerns, after impeachment manager Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., asserted earlier this week that GOP senators were engaged in a “cover-up.”

Collins told Politico she was “stunned” by Nadler’s comments, and confirmed to the outlet that she wrote a note that made its way to Roberts after a tense back and forth between Nadler and White House Chief Counsel Pat Cipollone.

“It reminded me that if we were in a normal debate in the Senate, that the rule would be invoked to strike the words of the senator for impugning another senator,” she told Politico. “So, I did write a note raising the issue of whether there’d been a violation of the rules.”

Collins said she gave the note to the secretary for the majority, Laura Dove, and “shortly thereafter, the chief justice did admonish both sides. And I was glad that he did.” (Read more from “‘Stunned’ Sen. Collins objected to Nadler’s impeachment accusation in note to Roberts” HERE)

WATCH: Nadler Confronted over Hypocrisy on Impeachment; Nadler Argues Dems’ Impeachment Case Is so Strong That a Jury Would Convict in ‘Three Minutes Flat’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Wire. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler, a New York Democrat, was called out by CNN on Sunday over his past comments on impeachment that stand in stark contrast to what he is doing today in pushing for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

In 1998, during the impeachment of Democratic President Bill Clinton, Nadler said, “There must never be a narrowly voted impeachment or an impeachment substantially supported by one of our major political parties, and largely opposed by the other. Such an impeachment would lack legitimacy, would produce divisiveness and bitterness in our politics for years to come.”

CNN’s Dana Bash played the clip for Nadler on Sunday, saying, “So, right now, you are moving forward with impeachment proceedings against a Republican president without support from even one congressional Republican.”

“Is it fair to say that this impeachment, in your words from back then, will produce divisiveness and bitterness in our politics for years to come?” Bash asked.

“No,” Nadler replied, claiming that Trump was the one who was responsible for the “bitterness and divisiveness into our politics.”

Nadler Argues Dems’ Impeachment Case Is so Strong That a Jury Would Convict in ‘Three Minutes Flat’

By Townhall. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NJ) on Sunday appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” to discuss Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. According to Nadler, Democrats “have a very rock-solid case” against the president.

“I think the case we have, if presented to a jury, would be a guilty verdict in about three minutes flat,” he said. “All this nonsense about hearsay – there is considerable direct evidence.”

Nadler claimed the Democrats don’t have more direct evidence because the White House has blocked officials from testifying in the impeachment inquiry, citing executive privilege.

“And it ill behooves a president or his partisans to say, ‘you don’t have enough direct evidence,’ when the reason we don’t have even more direct evidence is because the president has ordered everybody in the executive branch not to cooperate with Congress in the impeachment inquiry, something that is unprecedented in American history and is a contempt of congress by itself,” the Judiciary Committee Chairman said.

WATCH: Did Nadler Seriously Fall Asleep During Impeachment Hearing?; Democrats’ Impeachment Argument Again Comes up Short

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Democratic New Jersey Rep. Jerry Nadler was caught on camera appearing to have some difficulty keeping his eyes open as his Judiciary Committee colleague, Republican Ohio Rep. Steve Chabot, was speaking during Wednesday’s impeachment hearing.

The momentary lapse by the House Judiciary Committee chairman was posted by the Trump War Room Twitter account, which was quick to poke a little fun with some sleep-appropriate music.

In fairness to Nadler, staying away during the entirety of Wednesday’s hearings would have been a monumental task for anyone. It included the testimony of four legal scholars, three of whom were invited by Democrats. (Read more from “WATCH: Did Nadler Seriously Fall Asleep During Impeachment Hearing?” HERE)

Democrats’ Impeachment Argument Again Comes up Short

By New York Post. The impeachment inquiry against President Trump took an important turn in the first House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday.

Judging by the opening remarks of Chairman Jerry Nadler and the opening testimony of constitutional law professors, congressional Democrats are moving away from bribery. Instead, they have shifted their impeachment case, now accusing the president of having abused his office.

Before this latest hearing, it was peculiar that there were yet no proposed articles of impeachment. In prior impeachment cases, legal experts have been called to offer their views on such articles the House had already formulated. That is, the experts were asked to determine whether the allegations squared with the Framers’ conception of impeachable offenses, namely, “treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

Those impeachment cases, however, involved clear allegations of law-breaking. With Trump, the difficulty Democrats have had from the start is the lack of a clear law violation. . .

It certainly helps to have a prosecutable crime to impeach a president. Politically speaking, it is very difficult to convince the American people of the necessity of removing a president from power without proving that he broke the law. But as a matter of constitutional law, such proof isn’t required. (Read more from “Democrats’ Impeachment Argument Again Comes up Short” HERE)

WATCH: Nadler Hits Trump and House Republicans with Deadline for Impeachment Participation

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler has set a December 6 deadline for President Donald Trump to declare whether his attorneys intend to participate in upcoming impeachment hearings.

Nadler gave the same deadline to the president’s attorneys and House Republicans to call new witnesses or introduce new evidence, according to a Friday report from Reuters.

Nadler informed both the president and the Judiciary Committee’s ranking member, Republican Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, that he would allow Republicans to participate in the upcoming hearings by calling witnesses, issuing subpoenas and giving presentations in accordance to the guidelines he provided. According to those guidelines, Nadler must first approve of any Republican subpoena requests.

Jerry Nadler Gets Called out for Claiming ‘Formal Impeachment Proceedings’ Underway

/0 Comments/in , , /by

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said in an interview with CNN Thursday that “formal impeachment proceedings” are underway, prompting GOP Rep. Doug Collins to call him out for being off the mark.

“This is formal impeachment proceedings,” Nadler told CNN’s Erin Burnett. “We are investigating all the evidence, gathering the evidence. And we will [at the] conclusion of this — hopefully by the end of the year — vote articles of impeachment to the House floor. Or we won’t. That’s a decision that we’ll have to make. But that’s exactly the process we’re in right now.” . . .

But Collins, the ranking member of the committee, said he’s either uninformed or misleading the public about what the committee is actually doing.

WATCH: Jerry Nadler Lies About Mueller’s Testimony, Vows to Pursue Impeachment

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler held a press conference Friday afternoon vowing to continue his pseudo impeachment inquiry into the Trump administration through the August recess.

“We are continuing an investigation of the president’s malfeasances,” Nadler said. “He [Mueller] told us that Donald Trump obstructed justice.” . . .

Nadler is lying about what Mueller said regarding obstruction. Mueller did not say Trump obstructed justice. In fact, he said the opposite.

DOJ and Nadler Reach Deal over Subpoenaed Documents, Averting Contempt Vote for Now

/0 Comments/in , /by

Contempt of Congress proceedings against Attorney General William Barr are suspended for the time being following news that the Department of Justice has reached a subpoena compliance agreement with House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y.

“I am pleased to announce that the Department of Justice has agreed to begin complying with our committee’s subpoena by opening Robert Mueller’s most important files to us, providing us with key evidence that the Special Counsel used to assess whether the President and others obstructed justice or were engaged in other misconduct,” Nadler said in a Tuesday statement. “The Department will share the first of these documents with us later today. All members of the Judiciary Committee—Democrats and Republicans alike—will be able to view them. These documents will allow us to perform our constitutional duties and decide how to respond to the allegations laid out against the President by the Special Counsel.”

Previously, the Department and committee Democrats had been locked in a standoff over the committee’s subpoena for the full, unredacted Mueller report and all its underlying evidence. The DOJ said that it could not comply with the original request because some of the subpoenaed information was protected by federal rules and could therefore not be released without a court order.

When the committee threatened Barr with contempt of Congress charges, the White House responded by invoking executive privilege over the information in question.

In a letter sent to Nadler last week, however, the Department of Justice said that it was willing to resume negotiations with House Democrats, but only if the contempt proceedings against the attorney general are halted and reversed. That letter was in response to an offer from the committee to narrow the subpoena’s scope.

The announcement comes just a day before a contempt vote was expected on the House floor.

“Given our conversations with the Department, I will hold the criminal contempt process in abeyance for now. We have agreed to allow the Department time to demonstrate compliance with this agreement,” Nadler’s statement continues.

“If the Department proceeds in good faith and we are able to obtain everything that we need, then there will be no need to take further steps,” Nadler warns the department. “If important information is held back, then we will have no choice but to enforce our subpoena in court and consider other remedies.”

“We are pleased the Committee has agreed to set aside its contempt resolution and is returning to the traditional accommodation process,” said Department of Justice spokesperson Kerri Kupec in a statement emailed to Blaze Media. “The Department of Justice remains committed to appropriately accommodating Congress’s legitimate interests related to the Special Counsel’s Investigation and will continue to do so provided the previously voted-upon resolution does not advance.” (For more from the author of “DOJ and Nadler Reach Deal over Subpoenaed Documents, Averting Contempt Vote for Now” HERE)

Relentless: Jerry Nadler Issues TWO MORE Subpoenas

/0 Comments/in , /by

By A Medium Corporation. House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) issued subpoenas to Annie Donaldson, former chief of staff for former White House counsel Don McGahn and for Hope Hicks, former White House Communications Director. The subpoenas were issued for testimony and documents related to the House Judiciary Committee’s ongoing investigation into obstruction of justice, public corruption, and other abuses of power by President Trump, his associates, and members of his Administration. The redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report documented alarming misconduct and obstruction of justice by President Trump. Donaldson and Hicks were critical witnesses to this behavior. (Read more from “Relentless: Jerry Nadler Issues TWO MORE Subpoenas” HERE)

Nadler Knows He’d Be ‘Completely Humiliated’ If He Challenged McGahn’s Refusal to Testify: Rep. McClintock

By Fox News. The House Judiciary Committee hearing scheduled for former White House counsel Don McGahn was “silly” and the committee’s chair knew he couldn’t challenge in court McGahn’s refusal to comply with a subpoena, Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., said on Tuesday.

“The whole thing is a political exercise, and Jerry Nadler is not going to take this to court because he knows if he did, he would be completely humiliated,” McClintock said while appearing on Fox News’ “Outnumbered.”

“He wants the grievance, not the substance,” McClintock added. His comments came as Nadler vowed to “go to court” if needed in order to force testimony from McGahn. McGahn skipped the hearing after President Trump, who invoked executive privilege in ignoring subpoenas, told him not to attend.

“In short, the president took it upon himself to intimidate a witness who has a legal obligation to be here today,” Nadler said.

But McClintock told Fox News host Harris Faulkner that Trump’s actions were nothing new. “Pretty much every president since Harry Truman has instructed his subordinates to ignore congressional subpoenas and the courts have backed them up every single time,” he said.

Nadler: Trump Claim of Executive Privilege Could Delay Mueller Testimony

By Politico. President Donald Trump’s sweeping effort to block congressional access to the Mueller report could complicate Democrats’ efforts to bring special counsel Robert Mueller in as a witness, a top Democrat told POLITICO on Wednesday.

Noting that Mueller is still an employee of the Justice Department, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler said Trump’s claim of executive privilege could succeed in delaying the House’s efforts to access Mueller’s report and hear his testimony. . .

Nadler said he hasn’t received a definitive assurance about when Mueller intends to leave the Justice Department but that “by all accounts it’s very short.” He indicated that he’s banking on Mueller’s departure to ease his path to testifying to the Judiciary Committee.

It’s unclear whether that could set back the committee’s efforts to call Mueller on May 15, a tentative date that House Democrats have eyed. But there’s no indication Mueller has consented to testifying or that he’s operating on the committee’s tentative schedule.
