As House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) investigates filing articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, he has requested documents from other committees probing the President relevant to the case.
According to a letter obtained by Politico, he addressed the request to the chairs of the House Intelligence, Financial Services, Oversight and Reform and Foreign Affairs committees.
He asserts in the letter that he is in no way infringing on the other committees’ investigations, but asking for shared information when pertinent.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has resisted some members’ calls to begin impeachment proceedings, worried that the act would be politically costly and ultimately toothless due to Senate Republicans’ recalcitrance.
“As House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) investigates filing articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, he has requested documents from other committees probing the President relevant to the case.”
Sure, he’s “requested” them. And once he has them he’ll consider reviewing them. Maybe in November. Or early next year.
I’m sure there is a lot of documentation to hand over considering all the White House has cooperated with. We are 2.5 years in and all the investigations have revealed little more than just some sleuthing reporters. The thing is the evidence has been in plain sight. They just all need to agree that what we have all seen with our own eyes on camera is real.
Dem leadership is scared shitless over proceeding with an actual impeachment against Trump. Everyone just needs to accept that. That don’t want to go there. Period.
I think that the Speaker should announce that the Oversight, Intelligence, Ways & Means and Judiciary committees are together conducting an impeachment inquiry.
As such the Judiciary committee will be coordinating the efforts and compiling the information derived from these investigations.
Moscow Mitch isn’t going to budge. So it is all about the rollout.
