At a meeting of Democratic heavy-hitters this week, House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) pushed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on impeachment, eliciting her “prison” comment heard ’round the world.
But in new details reported by CNN, Nadler crafted his pitch around two central points. One, that impeachment proceedings would centralize the investigations into President Donald Trump and his administration currently sprawled across multiple committees, keeping it all contained within Judiciary.
Second, Nadler argued that procedurally, it’s easy to get information and ask questions during impeachment proceedings than in regular House committee sessions.
Pelosi was joined in her disapproval by Intel Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), who doesn’t want to lose his current important position in probing Trump’s actions.
Regardless of where you stand on this issue, it’s nice to see serious people having serious discussions on a serious matter.
I’ll take this over the argle bargle of Republicans any day.
“Pelosi was joined in her disapproval by Intel Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), who doesn’t want to lose his current important position in probing Trump’s actions.”
Is it just a speculation? I found no proof of that. Kinda irresponsible for a news piece.
Just pick a strategy and run with it. I can’t take any more “Dems in disarray” stories, especially when they appear to be mostly true.
Nadler #1 wants to centralize the investigations, and #2 wants to make obtaining information easier through the process of an impeachment inquiry.
Pelosi and Schiff want to maintain their “important position in probing Trump’s actions” by continuing the status quo.
I understand what Nadler wants. I do not understand this “important position” that Pelosi is referring to. That is a real problem for people who support and follow her leadership in the House. Communication should not be that hard. Unfortunately for the entire Party (and country), the lack of effective communication is causing yuge problems for everyone but Republicans.
They should create a House Select Committee on Impeachment.
