Trump 'richly deserves impeachment,' House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler says

Source: CNBC

President Donald Trump “richly deserves impeachment,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler said Sunday.

Nadler, D-N.Y., whose committee holds crucial powers in the impeachment process, also said that former special counsel Robert Mueller’s recent hearings before Congress about his report on Russian election meddling represented an “inflection point.”

The Judiciary Committee is gathering evidence as it weighs whether to recommend impeachment to the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives. Asked about his own personal feelings on impeaching Trump, Nadler was unequivocal.

“My personal view is that he richly deserves impeachment,” Nadler said of Trump on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “He has done many impeachable offenses. He’s violated the law six ways from Sunday.”

Nadler added "But that’s not the question. The question is, can we develop enough evidence to put before the American people?”

It is easier to list the crimes Trump has not committed than the ones he has committed.

The video's of his sex crimes, and his crimes against this country with putin come out to undermine the election getting him into office , he's toast and he and putin know it. Money laundering, bank fraud, wire fraud, and the list will be long but I think they'll have proof he's been giving putin secrets all along. He already did give them highly classified information to the russian diplomats in the oval office,and more than likely a lot more. This guy is a criminal to the core, and when its exposed people will be shocked beyond belief. trump is a one man crime spree.

Articles of Impeachment to the floor..Assuming that is passes and goes to the Senate..
It wont be as simple as McConnell holding a news conference and declaring it is nothing more than partisan politics. I believe there will be thousands outside the Senate building protesting and demanding that Senators vote to convict...Arrests? Probably Capital police will certainly try to stop our constitutional right.
I would be one that would be there in the crowd.....

Q. Does the President deserve impeachment?
A. Trump "richly deserves impeachment"

Q. Can we develop enough evidence to put before the American people?
A. Only by initiating Impeachment.


So......what is the next line?

"If only there was some way we could Impeach him for which he deserves 100x over, without actually impeaching him to get the evidence to show the people why he deserves it."



This is getting into Keystone Cops territory. Democrats will end up with nothing in the end. Too frightened of Fox News to move out of their top-down driven paralysis. Pressured by their own base to admit Trump is what he is...racist, incompetent, impeachable etc...and pressured on the other end by their own fears of projected failure in the public supporting them. And intimidated by the tough job it would be with a predictable onslaught of RW opposition and propaganda.

This is what Nadler announced on Friday. The collection of evidence is to pursuant to preparing articles of impeachment for the House. HR 430 June 11, 2019 gave the committee all the powers that any impeachment investigation has ever had - Watergate - Clinton, and IT'S ON - Now.

He's a mental weakling. His sones, Uday and Qusay would do the same too. Not sure how weak Ivanka is. Who knows, she'd probably be a candidate too. I'd think, anyway.

With tRump out the way, Melania, the piece of work, would probably by a compound back in whatever country she came from and live in isolation for her remaining years.
