House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler announced on Thursday that his committee has launched “formal impeachment proceedings” against President Trump.
Nadler’s move seems to be in defiance of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who dismissed talk of moving forward following disastrous testimony from former special counsel Robert Mueller.
In fact, Nadler states he “wasn’t waiting” for Pelosi’s blessing.
“This is formal impeachment proceedings,” Nadler announced. “We are investigating all the evidence, we’re gathering the evidence and we will at the conclusion of this, hopefully by the end of the year, vote to, vote articles of impeachment to the House floor or we won’t. That’s a decision that we’ll have to make.”
Impeachment, he added, is “exactly the process we’re in right now.”
“This is formal impeachment proceedings.”

It takes a special kind of stupid to advance impeachment hearings after the Mueller report cleared the President of collusion and obstruction, and a subsequent hearing, according to universal reviews, made the case even weaker.

Special Kind of Stupid
If you wanted to order up a special kind of stupid, one couldn’t ask for a better person than Nadler.
The Mueller hearing was considered “a disaster for the Democrats” and a devastating blow to the special counsel’s own reputation by pundits on both sides of the political aisle.
To the point where Pelosi had to apply the brakes on any impeachment talks in the aftermath. The Speaker, who once said she preferred jail time for President Trump over impeachment, insisted they could not move forward until Democrats had a stronger argument.
Stronger arguments are for the little people.

Chasing Obstruction
A memo sent to the U.S. House Judiciary Committee in late July, features the word ‘obstruction’ 18 times in a request for “materials to further [the committee’s] ongoing investigation and assessment of whether to recommend articles of impeachment.”
Nadler, in a closed-door meeting with Pelosi last month, vowed to use articles of impeachment already filed by Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) as a framework.
In them, Sherman accused Trump of violating “his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of president of the United States” and having “prevented, obstructed and impeded the administration of justice during a federal investigation.”

Following Mueller’s investigation, Attorney General William Barr summarized the report indicating there was no collusion and no obstruction.
“There are articles of impeachment introduced a number of months ago and referred to the committee,” Nadler explained in an interview with CNN. “As the investigation proceeds, we may want to draft our own articles of impeachment that may more closely fit the evidence.”
In other words, they’re molding any impeachment argument to whatever ancillary comments they can find in the Mueller report. They’re doctoring a case for impeachment.
As Bill Maher recently said to the Democrats months ago, at this point “it just looks like you’re stalking him.”

Looks like we have over 500 Special Kind of Stupid people in DC. The RINO type, failing to hear, voice or respond to the massive conservative base, afraid they would lose their money and power if they stood up for the Pres, much less for the truth or will of the people.. and we have the LIBERAL type who are in lock-step marching into the face of the American citizen who is tired of the BS they have played, first to engineer a rigged election, then to cover up for getting caught in their failed political coup.. now to jam a REAL coup down our throats.
They think we have forgotten the publicized events and timelines around HRC, the DNC, BJClinton, etc. over the last many years.
They think somehow that we really believe 15 to 25 THOUSAND men got together quite by happenstance and started marching across several countries to test our border..
That none of those people might be from OTHER countries like Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Yeman, etc…
They think we will simply roll over and let our country fall…
Nadler would have had better luck convincing us it would be ok to just “mail” ballots over to all the foreign countries he’d like to have vote in 2020…
Time for Article V of the USC folks…
This whole thing looks like a dog rolled in the crap somewhere and got up to shake it all over everybody. Translated as “Obama and or Clinton” let it be known that if they went down … they would ALL go down.
Nothing screams as loudly and vengefully as a cheater when he is cheated
The Democrats used to be considered by many as the party for the working man, but President Trump has done more to help working people in three years than they have in the last forty or more! Bringing jobs back, removing burdensome regulations, and attempting to end the abuse from foreign countries Tru,p 2020!!!
This is harassment and abuse of the legal system. TREASON! against The President of The United States of America and against America itself.
How many times will this make? No matter, they will never get a conviction in the Senate.
Rep. Nad-less should pack it in.
He’s the Don Quixote of Congress.
Thank you, you fat minnie f&^k for Trump’s re-election in 2020! You want a perfect example of using public office to settle vendettas, here it is! Next time nutless, when you make an announcement, get in your hi-chair first. This little terd is soooo proud of himself for announcing this great news, I believe he peed in his diaper over it. Oh, and you’re going to lose the House too!
What do MOST jews have in common ? Far Left Communistic desires, including using violence against any opposing view.
If the GOP get the house back and there is a dem president elected they should start impeachment proceedings as soon as he or she is elected. Do this in every election from here to eternity.
Bad Idea End of Democrats
I SAY WRITE IT UP!! HA HA!! ANYONE IS WELCOME TO DO THAT – ONE ONLY NEEDS A CRIME TO HAVE TAKEN PLACE…. CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THAT IS…
DO IT NADLER AND GO DOWN IN HISTORY – “DOWN” BEING THE OPERATIVE…
Where Oh where has it gone?
Where OH where has his little mind gone?
Bottom of the barrels are leading democrats . Now trying to start a civil war which they will lose , not big time but HUMONGOUS TIME FOR SURE , They will lose down South for sure
What evidence nadler, you have NOTHEEENG!!
The Democrats have gone and lost it, they should all be voted out of office, most of them sent to jail for treason. I use to be a Democrat until I discovered that they are out for themselves and the common man on the street is nothing to them but a vote. They should be a shamed of themselves. They certainly have disgraced themselves. Way to go Dem’s.
Nadler doe not run the house so he can not officially start the proceedings. He is just trying to make the courts believe they have started so they will give him the grand jury files. People are not as dumb as he thinks they are. He needs to be brought up on sedition charges.
New name for Nadler—the Demonratic party DESTROYER!!
Actually he is an ally of Pres Trump–handing him the 2020 election victory plaque!!
There is no maybe to it. We need to replace all the talking monkeys in congress that are wasting tax money on BS.
All the democrats for going on 3 years have focused on Trump. I thought they were getting paid to do a job. They have done nothing. Maybe we need to look at putting freshing faces in Congress and hope they do their job.
Rep Nadler has joined the ranks of Rep Waters and Rep Lee as some of the dumbest folks in congress.
NADLER!
Shut your Pie-Hole and go for it!
IT WILL LOSE THE HOUSE FOR YOU DEMIs!
What will you impeach President for?
What is the crime you have in mind that you can prove?
Is it some of that EVIDENCE SCHIFF has been claiming to have for the last (2) years
or something you and only you with your HERCULANEUM PHYSIQUE
discovered????
Mule -Faced Mueller spend $30,000,000 of our money and found NOTHING
but you did!
WHERE WAS IT UP YOUR REAR PORTAL, CHICKEN LIPS?
NADLER……what a dork!!! He needs to hang, right along with the rest of the Dems!!
Impeaching the president, will cause a signed death warrant for Dems!!
People that are as wide as they are tall, usually strange.
And so that angry little man continues to get paid for wasting the time and money of We The People. as our so-called “representative.”
Could you possibly imagine what Trump would have accomplished if it hadn’t been for the psychotic left and their persistent obstruction of the political process? Nadler and his democratic crew of hard left clowns are crapping their britches trying to get Trump out of office. They don’t give a flip about America, just Trump. All the while Trump is the best thing that’s happened to American politics…EVER!
BUT HE DIDN;T DO ANY OF THAT STUFF!! HE DID NOT COMMITT ANY CRIMES! HE CAN;T BE IMPEACHED!! THEY FOUND NOTHING, THERE IS NOTHING TO GO ON, THEY CAN;T DO IT!!
That is all they have in their tank and how Fing folish.
Time to do a deep dive into the bank accounts of these loud-mouth dems, and in the process find their off-shore accounts. I’ll bet a bunch of them have gained some large, untraceable deposits. Check the accounts of all the RINOs also. The nation is doing well under the leadership of Trump, and only a traitorous, America-hating coward would try to stop his progress.
I would say to them what God has already said in his word. Do not try to destroy my annoyed. For i am the judge and i correct people and that includes those who mess with the ones i have appointed to do my work. I can use who i want to accomplish my goal. He put Trump in office and he is the only one who can take him out. No even the devil can touch him if God does not want him out of office. Praise God
TRUMP 2020 ! AMERICA’S BEST AND I APPRECIATE ALL HE IS DOING FOR AMERICANS AND OUR COUNTRY. HE HAS KEPT HIS PROMISES. AGAIN TRUMP 2020 !
At this point in time, like someone else said, I will N E V E R. vote for a damned Democrat as long as I live. The Democrat party is a party of hate, and in my humble opinion, they a Godless group of low life, vile, lying, thieves. I pray for them every night, I pray that they will lose everything they pray or wish for, because what they wish for is against God and country. I am sure they don’t pray to my God, because Christians should not bear false witness, and if they do, I hope they make it to confession before the good Lord takes them. God, we need You to bless America again, because many have lost their way. Amen.
OMG, these people are certifiable besides being lazy, hateful liars. Trump is trying single-handedly to slay a number of dragons to protect the village and they are setting traps for him in fear that, along the way, he will discover all their dirty traitorous secrets. Yet, they are too unimaginative to pack up and leave while they still can.
If all the criminal activity that Nadler has taken part in were brought to light and the public found out, if he appeared in Church, the paint would fall off and the roof would cave in !!!!
I hope Nadler has excellent security and has to constantly look over his shoulder until after 2020. Better still, I think he should lock himself in a padded room and stay there until after Trump’s second term in 2025 because he seems to be out of his mind. Vote all these “do nothing” Democrats out of office in 2020. MAGA & KAG.
The ones you will hear the most on here, are the haters. The ones who hate their fellow man, just like the Jews who were hated, starved and sent to the ovens by Hitler, or the Republicans who are hated by the Democrats, and some still hate the race of some, and think they don’t have the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as ALL Americans are. I will not hate, I find it hard not to hate those who hate God, country, and some of our fellow citizens, because they hate who our President is. Please pray for OUR America.
Why must the Political Insider keep saying ” This is not good” to ridiculous crap like this .
THIS IS FANTASTIC , it accelerates the democrat parties destruction even quicker than it was already .
The fact is democrats are THE BIGGEST THREAT TO DEMOCRACY ever , they adamantly refuse to accept the results of the election.
The Democrats have effectively stalled the federal government for two and half years, spent millions and millions of dollars to fight our President, and now want to spend another 6 months and untold millions to try to remove him from office.
This do nothing Congress needs to be repealed.
As I read this I thought this guy is nuts. Then I realized he is representative of the Democrats as a whole. I just wish we had somebody like Trump up here in Canada.
Donald declare Martial Law & let the killing begin!
Money and plenty of it coming from the Soros Clinton Cartel. Some would do anything for a dollar, think what they would do for $1,000.00
Wow, so much hatred coming from the democrats. This crap is becoming ridiculous, all theses democrats are doing is weakening our Republic with their incessant nonsense. I hope the democratic party gets destroyed by the GOP in 2020 once and for all. Hell, I wouldn’t doubt that these recent mass shootings recently were paid for by Soros and the democratic party in their attempt to destroy Trump.
The US Senate can’t expel a Member of The House of Representatives.
The House of Representatives…shall have the sole Power of Impeachment. … Article II, Section 4, says that the President, Vice President, and “all civil Officers of the United States”—which includes judges—can be impeached. Members of Congress can be expelled by their own respective body. Impeach Robert Nadler for stepping over the Speaker. I bet you could get 2/3 of the Senate to agree.
Have at it, Nadless. Burn the house down around your party and then be prepared to say “Welcome back, President Trump” in January of 2021.
SMOKESCREEN. He says impeachment proceedings have begun, but also says: “We will at the conclusion of this, hopefully by the end of the year, vote to, vote articles of impeachment to the House floor, or we won’t. That’s a decision we’ll have to make.” Nadler just bought FIVE MONTHS of Trump smearing. No different than the many months of him rambling on about how the Mueller report was going to HANG Trump……telling America how Mueller “had the goods.” Total crap. It’s all he’s got folks. Blah, blah, blah. Deceptions, diversions and LIES. After almost THREE YEARS………if there was something that was big enough to bring Trump down………you can bet your house that Trump would would be GONE. The end game here is to keep everyone’s eyes off of HIM and HIS party’s crimes.
Nadler Is a special kind of stupid, and If he and Pelosi were having problems before agreeing on a Impeachment Inquiry this kind of foolishness Is bound to be suicide for their party. stupid Is as stupid does.
Good luck with that Jerry.
The Russian collusion horse that was so beaten to death and recently buried is now being exhumed by Nadler so he can beat it some more. how embarrassing for the democrats and our government.
Jerry you must need committed as you sure don’t act sane by any version i ever heard. Get some help!
