Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Jabba The Nadler keeps setting deadlines, and they just keep getting ignored. – House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler is very fond of “deadlines.” Unfortunately, he doesn’t appear to realize he has no authority to enforce most of them.
Oh, wait, before we get into this, watch Nadler smack his way through a breakfast interview with Democrat activist John Harwood, if you can stand it.:
For those of you who still like to read stuff, here is the transcript, courtesy of Rush Limbaugh:
NADLER: (restaurant noise) (lips smack) It’s… I mean, the right… (chewing) Ummm… (lips smack) Uh… (smacking lips) (unintelligible) That’s right. (lips smack) But, you know, we fought a — a — a Revolutionary War over that. (lips smack) It affects people’s lives ultimately. (lips smack) And, in fact, (lips smack) he may be… (lips smack) If he is destroying (lips smack) all the norms. (lips smack) and (lips smack) it’s a very different crisis. (lips smack) I think so. (lips smack) I mean, we have to hold hearings (lips smack) and not just on, (lips smack) you know, collusion with the — the Russians. (chewing) I believe that. (lips smack) I do believe that. (glasses clink) (lips smack) Donald Trump is a con man. (lips smack) He lies all the time. (lips smack) (swallows) Say, it’s down the road. I do. (glasses clink) (lips smack) Nixon (lips smack) never (chewing/swallows) never… (lips smack) …to the separation of powers. (lips smack) (glasses clink) I think that’s nonsense. (lips smack)
Ok, grossed out enough now? This man is at the tip of the Democrats’ entire “strategy” spear for 2019. How pathetic is that?
Back to the topic at hand: Thus far in 2019, Nadler has set deadlines on the production of President Donald Trump’s tax returns; on the production of the un-redacted Mueller Report; on the production of all supporting documents to the Mueller Report; on the production of documents from a vast array of Trump White House personnel and associates; on forcing Attorney General William Barr to testify; and twice now on forcing Robert Mueller to come testify live and in person before his Kangaroo Court Committee.
Pretty much all of these “deadlines” have passed without consequence. There is a good reason why that’s the case: Because Nadler is abusing his authority and attempting to assert powers he does not possess in his role as Chairman of the Kangaroo Court.
Nadler contends that all the subpoenas and deadlines and browbeating of potential witnesses through the media are all a part of his committee’s “oversight” authority. This is utter nonsense and he knows it. The Judiciary Committee has oversight authority to ensure the Department of Justice and all of its various arms are carrying out its duties under the law. The Judiciary Committee’s oversight authority does not give Nadler and his evil minions the right to do a re-boot of the entire 2-year, $35 million Mueller Investigation.
It is for this reason that Nadler’s subpoenas and deadlines are being ignored and will continue to be ignored. It is for this reason that Attorney General Barr ignored Nadler’s subpoena a couple of weeks ago, and will probably continue to do so.
It is for this reason that Mueller ignored Nadler’s initial May 15 deadline to testify, and it is for this reason that Nadler was forced to admit on Friday that Mueller will also most likely ignore his May 23 deadline to testify. In fact, it is for this reason that Mueller may never testify before Nadler’s Kangaroo Court at all.
Oh, yeah, there’s another reason why Mueller may never appear before Nadler’s committee, and it is buried all the way down in the last paragraph in the Politico story linked above:
Republicans eyeing a Mueller hearing see it as a chance to press the special counsel on the underlying motivations for the investigation and his reliance on FBI agents who shared anti-Trump text messages.
See, there are 17 Republicans on this Committee, and House rules require Nadler to let them question witnesses too. Does anyone really believe that Robert Mueller is going to voluntarily subject himself to questioning from the likes of Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert and John Ratcliffe?
Not likely.
Skunk Alert! – You can always tell who’s feeling guilty by looking for who is protesting the loudest. James Comey, our National Teenage Drama Queen, just can’t help himself. Last night, he responded to William Barr’s interview on Fox News – in which Barr never even mentioned Comey’s name – with this tweet:
James Comey ✔ @Comey The AG should stop sliming his own Department. If there are bad facts, show us, or search for them professionally and then tell us what you found. An AG must act like the leader of the Department of Justice, an organization based on truth. Donald Trump has enough spokespeople.
I titled my piece on Barr’s interview “It’s Panic Time for the Deep State” for a reason. Comey personifies it.
You have the right to remain silent, Mr. Comey. You might want to take advantage of it for awhile.
That is all.

Nadler is disgusting on the inside and the outside and I can’t wait for him to receive his due.
Comey has the right to remain silent, just not the ability.

Pig Alert! If ya' throw a rock into a pig pen, the one that squeals is the on ya' hit.
Nadler is playing to his base. The problem (as I see it) is that he already has his base, he is doing nothing that will help the Democrats in the 2020 election. Just a continuation of ORANGE MAN bad.
Note to Democrats. Every one that believes ORANGE MAN bad is already on your side. Those that don’t are never going to change their minds with your continued blocking the President as he goes about fixing messes you all created.
Sort of reminds me of a recent pResident’s continued “Red Lines in the Sand” in Syria.
lol
Not only is he a total SLOB, he should sit in a high chair.
An AG must act like the leader of the Department of Justice, an organization based on truth.
This statement alone should warrant an immediate arrest and detainment in a psychiatric hospital along with drug testing. He is obviously a danger to himself and the community, he is living in a Fantasy World
He learned at the feet of Obama. Red line and all.
Any attorney in America will leap at the chance to represent Cardinal Comey. Lawyers will do anything for free publicity. I know these people. I am ashamed to say, I was once one of them.
Eventually, the Cardinal is going to have to lawyer up. By that time, his hubris will have thoroughly demolished his already weak defense.
All of them will attempt to argue that they can never get a fair trial anywhere in the US due to the extensive, biased media coverage. Lawyers have a lot of chutzpah. That will be the opening shot.
The Cardinal is working OT to clothesline himself.
Is it not obvious what Nadler’s spirit animal is?
As a matter of fact, Nadler inspires a new tagline.
