Trump "richly deserves impeachment"
Today from NBC News;Nadler: Trump 'richly deserves impeachment'
"He's violated the law six ways from Sunday," Nadler said.
By Allan Smith
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said Sunday that President Donald Trump "richly deserves impeachment," but maintained that it was too soon to begin formal impeachment proceedings.
"He has done many impeachable offenses," Nadler said on CNN's "State of the Union." "He's violated the law six ways from Sunday. But that's not the question. The question is, can we develop enough evidence to put before the American people? We have broken the logjam."
The debate over whether to launch an impeachment inquiry has divided congressional Democrats. Following former special counsel Robert Mueller's testimony on Capitol Hill this week, the total number of House Democrats supporting impeachment has neared 100. House leadership, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has repeatedly demurred.
While many Democrats hoped Mueller's testimony would shift the debate on impeachment within the Democratic caucus, his hours of testimony — while amplifying some of the more damning portions of his more than 440-page report on Russian interference in the 2016 election, whether the Trump campaign conspired with Russia and if Trump obstructed justice — did not cause any major shift in the discussion.
Calling Mueller's testimony "an inflection point," Nadler said that "it showed quite clearly that the report did not exonerate the president ... And we now have to get further evidence and put it before the American people as we consider articles of impeachment in the committee.”
"There was very damning evidence put forward on the record," Nadler said. "And I think, as the American people understand that, as people absorb that information, as we bring out more evidence, people will understand the gravity of the situation. It's not one that can be ignored."
It is within Nadler's committee that such an impeachment inquiry would begin. Though he has vocally expressed support for impeachment, Nadler has remained in line with Pelosi, who has advocated against beginning an impeachment inquiry until Democrats have the "strongest" hand possible. Neither have given a specific timeline on when such proceedings could theoretically occur.
In court filings submitted late last week to obtain grand jury information from Mueller's probe, Nadler's committee wrote that "articles of impeachment are under consideration as part of the Committee’s investigation, although no final determination has been made”
"There are articles of impeachment that have been recommended to the committee," Nadler said on Sunday. "And we are investigating and determining whether we should report those articles to the House. That's exactly what we're doing."
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., defended Democratic leadership's strategy regarding possible impeachment in an interview on Sunday with NBC's "Meet the Press."
“I worry equally about the message of taking an impeachment case to trial, losing that case, having the president acquitted, and then having an adjudication that this conduct is not impeachable,” he said.
"The jury I'm most worried about, not the Senate because I think that's a preordained conclusion, is the American people," Schiff added. "Can we make the case to the American people? I want to make sure that's true, before we go down that path, because it's going to occupy a year of the nation's time.

If anyone REALLY wanted to hear it - THEY'D SEARCH IT! Allll by their lonesomes.

But there is this lady who wrote a book on Oper. Paperclip...look for that podcast-- then branch out. Just sayin.
There were 10,000 things today that went down at the Pentagon in which the Prez. Isn't even briefed-- ditto the CIA...( that is, Trump isn't even in the conversational loop.)

Just because one dimwit is "confident that Obama will eventually be judged as the worst US president",
does not compete with a large group (over 100) of the most educated and prestigious presidential historians. In other words, his judgement is motivated by the desire for $$$ and not rational though, and he is nowhere as qualified to make a judgement like that, especially in comparison to the official group of presidential historians that judges US presidents every 4 years based on about 50 presidential criteria. If you want to waste your money in buying his book, that's up to you.
Will he BE impeached?
No.
ABC News Terry Moran: "Impeachment's Over"
Posted By Ian Schwartz
On Date July 24, 2019
"ABC News senior national correspondent Terry Moran declared the movement for the impeachment of President Trump 'over.' Moran said former special counsel Robert Mueller looked like he 'slowed a step or two' in his testimony Wednesday morning to the House Judiciary Committee. The ABC Newser shared Republicans are theorizing that Mueller was just a figurehead and wasn't even in control of the 'angry Democrats' probing Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
'"Impeachment's over,' Moran said. 'I don't think Nancy Pelosi is going to stand for her members bringing forth something that is going to obviously lose in the Senate, lose with the American public and the problem with Mueller's testimony on this issue is that he had to carry the ball for them whether he wanted to or not.'"
Nailed It, Mr. Moran
A hundred "angry Democrats" (and one obsessed blogger) be hanged.
Also late night comics playing for ratings to their clapping seal audiences.
Pelosi(!) knows impeachment is a political dead horse.
If Madam Speaker's not beating that carcass it's going nowhere.
Finis. O V E R!!!
"The Definition Of "Resurrection?"......... Is"
"Bringing Something Back......... That Is Dead"................. "
Point taken, Mr.
"Resurrection" implies something that died has been brought back to life.
This was DOA when posted and so couldn't be brought back to a life it never had.
I misspoke. I stand corrected.
"Regurgitated" is a more accurate term.

Diamond_Rain, is that you?
They simply can't handle the truth.
Some people will agree with something I've said, and disagree with something else I've said.
That's OK. I don't expect anyone to agree with everything I've said. I don't delete comments just because they agree, or disagree with me. There are other reasons I will delete comments and I've discussed those many times.
Jim you have made it plain that all Trump supporters are supporters because of their low IQ
Trust me we are not blind to Trump's faults but we do see the good he is doing too.
He has the guts to say things that no other has dared to say.
The slumps in many cities and yes were did the money go and yes how come no one else has ever let the mayors etc be accountable.
NEXT
you're a left wing troll trolling this site with blogs at least twice a week for years and you bump your own blogs in spite of you saying you don't
And it was with something newer.
I daily watch others bump their blogs from months and even years ago,
and yet I don't see your protests to that.
Now, how about being ON TOPIC for once.
Jenny!
"Battle Cry" is an epic understatement.
Battle Hymn comes closer to the fact of the matter...
"Deplorables" was the worst political gaffe since the Redcoats handed the Colonists Yankee Doodle.
It alienated blue collar folks who'd been taking Dems to the dance for over a century.
The Blue Wall crumbled in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan & Wisconsin and kept Hildebeest from fulfilling her Manifest Destiny to become 1st woman POTUS.
Lefties I know IRL grudgingly acknowledge this was the case.
That was then. This is now.
Terry Moran called it right - Impeachment's Over.
The window of opportunity to overturn the '16 election slammed shut with the Mueller debacle.
Dem leadership (such as Speaker Pelosi) understands Dems now need to put together a message & a candidate and look forward to '20.
Continuing to beat the dead impeachment horse makes 'em look desperate and, frankly, silly...no matter how richly The Don may or may not deserve impeachment.
It'll energize The Don's base & get Dems shellacked in '20 - and not just in the Prez race.
Even Leftie/Socialist darling AOC may face a formidable challenge in her solidly(?) Dem district...
Scherie Murray ABSOLUTELY bears watching
How many ways can that concept be expressed?
Here it is from a Thesaurus guy...
POPEYE RAN OUT OF SPINACH WHEN THEY SENT HIM TO HIS NUSING HOME.
Ralphy says we are whining because we asked for an explanation of what is trolling and what is answering on the blog that was made
Jim makes a post and I assumed he did to get His point across
Yet he does not expect anyone reacting with their version of how they see things?
Oh okay I didn't realize that, so no more whining from this side
Amen
Now I remember WHY we keep returning to these endlessly looped cut & pastes and clips of (non)comic/(non)pundits playing for ratings to clapping seal audiences.
It's for the intellectual stimulation of the biting & incisive repartee.
When Bill Clinton was impeached he was acquitted in one month. I feel he deserved to be impeached and it happened, and was undone just as quickly...all politics.
Stop TRYING to make it look like the deliverer of the news is the bad person,
when the bad person causing the bad news is truly at fault.
It is the only control on the president. Unlimited uncontrolled power corrupts to extreme amounts
and Trump was already quite corrupt before he took office.
We are at a critical time in defense of the Constitution.
If this extremely corrupt president is allowed to get away with his crimes,
how corrupt will the subsequent presidents possibly be ?
Like Nixon (only worse), he needs to be made an example of.
