House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said Friday “there certainly is” justification for Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump, but said it was critical for the American public to agree before launching the process.
During an interview on WNYC, Nadler, whose committee would leadimpeachment proceedings, cautioned the move, noting the importance of having the American public on board first.
“Impeachment is a political act, and you cannot impeach a president if the American people will not support it,” said Nadler, D-N.Y. “The American people, right now, do not support it because they do not know the story. They don’t know the facts.”
Nadler added: “We have to get the facts out. We have to hold a series of hearings, we have to hold the investigations.”
Nadler also vowed to hold televised hearings to “have a dialogue with the American people so people can make informed decisions and know what’s going on.”
“It’s very important that [Special Counsel Robert Mueller], to a television audience and to the American people, state [his findings] and answer questions about it, even if there is no new information,” Nadler said.
Nadler’s comments come after Mueller made a rare public appearance Wednesday—his first and only during his tenure as special counsel. Mueller announced the Russia investigation was officially closed, and his resignation from the Justice Department, and intention to return to private life.

There certainly is. The Democrats have a majority in the House and Trump is a Republican. What other justification would they need?
Its a race to the bottom between Pencil Neck and Nadler.
Tubby needs to either do it or STFU!!
Wait a minute. If the people ‘need to hear’ the story, that means you know the story.
So, what’s to investigate or hold hearings on?
so they’re still trying to get the people to raise up against Trump ,LOL

Um...OK...seems you don’t have the courage of your own convictions. Seems there aren’t any other components of governance in which you don’t have the belief you are smarter than the people who elected you. Why not in this case, too?
If you believe there are ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ sufficient to impeach this man, then get to it...
Don’t mind the folks who will descend on DC with tar, feathers, rope and rails. We’ll just be there for a short while...

Schiff needs to be investigated for his illegal leaks.
stop talking and get busy then
I think that’s why Pencil Neck is so nervous about Barr
I doubt they have the votes if they try, even with the majority Dem house.
Nadler: There certainly is justification to eat another sandwich.
The delicious irony is that even their media allies are bored with the empty threats. Even their own Speaker is anti impeachment but as usual they aren’t asked to contradict her.
He got well already?
Last I heard he was illin’ hard.
Enough with all the talk. Just get on with it. Bring it.
Jerrold The Hut is so incompetent that it would be fun to watch the fuster cluck on TV should the dems proceed with impeachment.
How many times would you think Nadler’s belt would wrap around Schiff’s neck? I’d say about 8.
Then DO IT fat man, shut up and do it. It will be the end of the D party, as Pelosi well knows. Go!
