Nadler challenger targets him on Trump impeachment
Politico ^ | 7/23/19 | ERIN DURKIN

NEW YORK — Jerry Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has done everything short of publicly calling for President Donald Trump’s impeachment since Democrats unleashed their oversight arsenal on the president earlier this year.

But Lindsey Boylan, a former New York state official who’s giving the liberal stalwart from Manhattan’s West Side one of his toughest primary fights in decades, says that’s not enough.

While Nadler has pushed his party leadership behind the scenes to move on impeachment, Boylan is aiming squarely at Nadler’s reluctance to publicly support an official House inquiry against Trump — and she’s using the issue to great effect. The 35-year-old candidate took in $264,657 in donations in the second quarter of this year, the most among the growing crop of primary challengers looking to unseat members of Congress around New York City.

**SNIP**

But the knock against Nadler — who will be a central character when Special Counsel Robert Mueller testifies before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees on Wednesday — isn’t just about Medicare for All, the Green New Deal or immigration. It’s about the perception among some progressives that he isn’t thirsty enough for Trump’s blood.

“We have to hold this president accountable,” Boylan, a state economic development and housing official under Gov. Andrew Cuomo, told POLITICO. “When we don’t hold someone accountable, just at a basic level, they’re emboldened to do more of what they’ve done.”

Say, isn't Hillary from NY?

This is why Nadler is pushing impeachment. He doesn’t care about the country but just wants to take an issue away from a political opponent.

Accountable for what, exactly? They never seem to clarify.

Bullcrap.

Trump promised to go after pedophiles at his rallies.
His administration has been delivering.

That is why Nadler is worried shitless.

I don’t buy that for half a second.

I was there when Nadler was selected for the seat by a board of Communist apparatchiks. The moment that happened he was permanently a Congressman as long as he pursued their agenda, which he has quite faithfully.

He is in no primary danger whatsoever because that district doesn’t have genuine elections. It has an alliance of corrupt, far-left interests that have been embedded in the district and controlled its politics for generations.

In this context, the idea that a primary challenge puts any pressure on him whatsoever is ludicrous. It’s like arguing Stalin feared losing an election and therefore did something specific to head that off.

Ms. Boylan. The left-wing press wants her to play you-know-who to Nadler’s Joe Crowley.

Correct. The notion that No’Nads is holding back in any way is beyond stupid. It’s a fabrication of the whackadoodle douchenozzle dicknipple spoogetocket sphinctermonkeys who run the DemoKKKrat Party today who just cannot abide that Trump is kicking their ass at every turn.

Reminds me of Hitler blaming his generals.
