Full title: Nadler leading Cold War-style 'inquisition' against Trump, House Judiciary panel's ranking Republican says
The top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee unloaded on the panel's chairman, Jerry Nadler, in a fiery letter on Thursday, accusing the New York Democrat of conducting an unconstitutional "inquisition" into President Trump and his associates "reminiscent of Eastern regimes during the Cold War."
Nadler, who would oversee any impeachment proceedings against President Trump, this week announced dozens of document requests -- including to the National Rifle Association (NRA), WikiLeaks and key figures in the Trump Organization -- in a barrage that Nadler called the opening salvo in new and wide-ranging investigations into the White House.
Georgia Republican Rep. Doug Collins, the ranking member on the committee, charged that Nadler's investigation runs "afoul of nearly 150 years of Supreme Court precedent and over 200 years of oversight conducted by this committee."
Collins previously told Nadler to "come back to reality" following his sweeping document requests -- and, in his letter on Thursday, he told Nadler to pay more attention to the Constitution.
Specifically, Collins wrote, "Congress can only exercise its oversight power with a valid legislative purpose in sight. Congress should not—and, according to the Supreme Court, cannot—conduct oversight for the sake of exposure alone. Absent a formal impeachment inquiry — which you have been clear your nascent investigation is not — oversight for the sake of exposure is exactly what your investigation appears to be doing.”
Collins cited Watkins v. United States, a 1957 Supreme Court case that held “there is no general authority to expose the private affairs of individuals without justification in terms of the functions of the Congress.”
The Watkins Court, Collins added, also wrote a congressional inquiry “must be related to, and in furtherance of, a legitimate task of Congress.”

I was just thinking today about how the left hated the McCarthy hearings. In the media/entertainment complex those hearings are made out to be some sort of Volkshochgericht.
And now here they are.
This anti-hate bill is really hilarious considering the the whole party is CONSUMED WITH HATE.

7 Mar: Breitbart: Report: Nadler’s Campaign Consultant Also Working on Behalf of Russian Propagandist
by Kristina Wong
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) has hired a campaign consultant who also lobbies on behalf of the head of a Russia propaganda outlet, even as he launches an extensive investigation into President Trump’s alleged Russia ties, according to a report...

We’re at the point where the Deplorables are gonna have to take the trash out to the dumpster themselves.
Let’s wrap this Freepathon up, Folks!
I demand that Nadler be investigated until we find a crime. That is what he is doing. What is his address and cell number and where does he pig out that fat face ?
...... Have you .... Or have you ever been ...... A Supporter of Donald J. Trump.
Does Jerry presume he’s safe when the war starts?
Do Congress criminals get food allowances?
Nadler acts like he doesn’t have his own dirt to be exposed. Nadler dirt time!!
McCarthy was right.
Unfortunately he underestimated the menace.
Should have called for summary executions or we wouldn’t be in this situation.
Every single person and entity must refuse to comply with Nadler. Not a single page should be given to him. He has NO POWER whatsoever to compel it. And the DOJ can quickly step in if he tries to exceed his authority.
Nadler, like 99% of Jewish RATs, is a certified Capo who God will judge and send to Hades for eternity.
