House Judiciary Committee chair Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said on Sunday that President Donald Trump had “violated the law six ways from Sunday” before and during special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.

As House Oversight Committee Adam Schiff (D-CA) explained on Sunday, Nadler said the importance of having special counsel Robert Mueller testify publicly is to make sure Americans truly understand the findings in his investigation.

“We think it’s very important for the American people to hear directly what the facts are because this is a President who has violated the law six ways from Sunday,” Nadler told Fox News host Chris Wallace. “If anyone else had been accused of what the report finds the President had done, they would have been indicted.”

“It’s important that we not have a lawless administration and a lawless president,” he continued. “It’s important that the people see where we are at and what we’re doing. What were dealing with.”

Mueller will testify on Wednesday in front of both the House Judiciary Committee and House Intelligence Committee. However, the special counsel has stated that he won’t share any new information on his sweeping probe besides what he already wrote in his report.

  1. First Schiff is the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, and second just turned on MSNBC and someone said that only 9% of McConnell’s campaign donations are from Kentucky, most are from Wall Street. So where does one go to check their Reps percentages?

  2. Yes. Yes. Yes. This is what people need to be hearing. We’re in a pretty good place already, with most people thinking he’s a contemptible buffoon. But they need to know how bad things really are.

    Yes. And on the seventh day, he obstructed.

  4. Never really explored it but the FEC seems like a logical place to start.

  5. As we all know, Trump is the most Godliest president ever, so he can’t possibly have broken the law six ways from SUNDAY. Please pick any one of the other six days days of the week.
