Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., revealed plans for House Democrats to investigate and impeach Justice Brett Kavanaugh for alleged perjury and investigate and impeach President Donald Trump for alleged treasonous collusion with Russia.
In post-election chats with various callers while riding the Acela train from New York to Washington, Nadler gave advice to a newly elected representative and discussed potential 2020 Democratic presidential nominees with another. He also lamented identity politics and the thriving economy and worried about Democrats losing working-class voters while gaining elite former Republicans and suburban women.
Nadler ...discussed two routes for investigating new Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh. The first is to go after the FBI for how they handled the investigation into unsubstantiated claims he sexually assaulted women. “They didn’t even do a half-ass job,” he said. “They didn’t interview 30 witnesses who said ‘Interview me! I’ve got a lot to say!'” he said, while mimicking people waving their hands to be called on.
His other plan is to go after Kavanaugh because “there’s a real indication that Kavanaugh committed perjury.” …

Nadler said Russia investigations would be under a broad umbrella of holding Trump “accountable,” since it’s a more palatable argument than impeachment, that they would be going “all-in,” and much of what they get to would be “depending on what [special counsel Robert] Mueller finds.” Still, he said the Judiciary Committee would only be in a supportive role to Rep. Adam Schiff and the Intelligence Committee, which has “a way ahead start on that.” Still, he said Judiciary “will have a role” in the Russia investigations.

‘...a House impeachment of Kavanaugh might actually result in a 100-0 vote to acquit the guy.”
Uh no.
If they really do that, voters should respond by NOT electing/reelecting any Dems in 2020.

Trump will not do it now, he would rather put off the fight. Mistake!
The original was a pretty good movie.
Are democrats planning to run the people’s
legislature or their very own circular firing squad where they all think Trump is in their sights?
You can bet they will. They have nothing else but bitterness.
Thanks for inserting his additional ‘qualities’ I was in a hurry.
I’m in a hurry to ridicule all LIBs forever.
I think both versions of True Grit are good.
Never understood why hollywood wanted to do a remake.
They was no substantial difference between them.
Impeachment doesn’t require 2/3 majority in the House. So in January they’ll have the votes to impeach. But it requires 2/3rds vote in the Senate to convict and remove. They don’t and won’t have the votes to do that. The question has to be is this the kind of thing they want to concentrate on for the next two years? The Kavanaugh fiasco didn’t help them.
We have an Attorney General now!!!
They would need 22 republicans and one, Flake, won’t be there.
If these Yahoo’s get too far out of line Trump can give them a REAL Constitutional crises by declaring martial law and arresting all of them for treason.
I was always concerned that Obama would declare martial law. Now I’m hoping Trump will. Actually he could declare a national emergency and start arresting those who are a threat to the government.
Blustering. That is all they are doing. Red meat for their rabid base. They don’t have the numbers to do shit..

It won’t stop some Dems to try.
The Waddler has been a despicable fat slob since the Clinton era. He absolutely enabled, defended and excused The Rapist in Chief’s sexual predator behavior.
Go choke to death on a donut, Waddler, you hypocritical fat b@st@rd!!!
No Nads-ler proves the saying; better dead than dem.
