Jerry Nadler’s Trump-bashing show is a bust

“You’re here as a prop. You’re functionally here as a prop because they can’t impeach Donald Trump”: Hand it to Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) for cutting to the heart of John Dean’s testimony Monday before the House Judiciary Committee.

Chairman Jerry Nadler has to put on a show of pursuing President Trump because the party’s left wing demands it. But Speaker Nancy Pelosi won’t let Nadler go to impeachment hearings because she knows the broader public will see it as a partisan outrage.

Pelosi’s bid to appease the extremists runs to quotes about how she wants to see Trump “in prison.” Nadler, meanwhile, must resort to, yes, props.

Why, we are part of the public? The problem is not the public, it is the dishonest media. A lot of people try to be informed, and they watch the news and listen to media pundits trying to be informed. The media serves them very badly.

[JonPreston]

A lot of people try to be informed

I disagree, a wide majority of the people are ill informed by choice. We live among damaged people, present company excluded.

“Oh, the humanity!!”

Lol! I almost feel a bit sorry for ol' Nancy...almost. She is in a no win situation, she's a shrewd enough politician to know she can't actually impeach President Trump as it would an unmitigated disaster, go nowhere in the Senate, and likely result in Trump cruising to reelection....and yet...

She has a democrat base who has been promised that Trump would be impeached from the liberal media and the far left democrats like AOC. They will accept nothing less. So she is forced to go through this never ending soap opera "Impeachment Days of our Lives" where she must constantly generate drama and look like she is moving toward impeachment to convince the base that it is coming. But like every soap opera, there is never going to be a finale, it will simply drag on and on with ever more outrageous plotlines (see the John Dean testimony).

I don’t want them to pass any laws at all but beyond that you are quite correct in your analysis.

I have said for some time that at this stage of life Pelosi would be perfectly fine with 434 Republicans in the House as long as she could keep the Speaker’s gavel.

She speaks frequently and openly about losing the chair previously and gloats about getting it back. Her ego is her only concern.

Nearly every Dem is focused on the wrong thing and most of them are focused on different things. They think this is some sort of coherent effective strategy. It isn’t.

[relictele]

I watch the ignorant-man-and-woman-in-the-street interviews and always think ‘These are the same people driving 75 mph next to me - or even in the opposite direction lanes - on the highway.’

[jmcenanly]

Let her keep it with her when she moves into St. Elizabeth’s.

[gasport]

Investigate obstruction of legitimate government!

[cincinnati65]

I hate to tip them on strategy, but trotting John Dean out there was about the dumbest move you could have made.

Let's trot out a relic from almost 50 years ago, who has absolutely nothing to do with the Trump campaign or administration, so he can give his (surely unbiased) opinion on what he thinks we should do about the Mueller Report.

I mean, that's got to work, right? That'll turn the American people against Trump for sure.

Jerry Nadler’s Trump-bashing show is a bust

NO "nads" Nadler!

[rlmorel]

John Dean found out what Benedict Arnold found out: Nobody likes a snitch or a traitor, not even the people you snitched for or sold out your country to.

[bert]

What was funny is that a helicopter crash on a Manhattan skyscraper monopolized cable news and there was little or no Dean show cable network coverage. Per reports on Fox

[bert]

No, they are not holding the country hostage.

They are not doing anything for the simple reason they cannot actually do anything. They lack the raw political power

[GreenHornet]

Maybe Nadler can find somebody still around from the Bay of Pigs fiasco and bring them in to testify.

[Saltmeat]

Nader would get ulcers over his failure to get Trump at any cost plan, but his stapled stomach doesn’t have enough room to accommodate one.

Democrat, Jerrold Nadler is a disgusting human being in both his outer self (Ugly human being), and inner self, (Walking hate monger). I watched a good amount of the “Nadler” Congressional hearings yesterday and I can assure you folks that the more the Democrats put Nadler and his gang of Democrat low life on his committee on the TV screen, the more votes POTUS, Donald J. Trump will garner on Election Day, 2020.

Fate took control of events, yesterday, and ruined his (Nadler’s) “twisted freak show” TV coverage, starring ex-felon, John Dean. The hearing was both disgusting and totally useless. Actually FNC, FBN, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, etc. televised none of the Committee hearings, due to a unplanned devastating, Helicopter crash on the roof of a high rise building in Manhattan, NYC, which sucked up all the TV coverage across the country. Only C-Span covered the hearing which was a 100% waste of time. Nadler got flushed down the publicity toilet, yesterday as very few viewers tuned in to his “three ring circus” of low life Democrats that hate America!!!

Is Monica available?

“Mr. Chairman, why is there a floor-to-ceiling, stainless steel pole in front of the witness stand?”

[School of Rational Thought]

The success of the Dean testimony as provide Nadler with his next step.

According to sources close to the Judiciary Committee, Nadler will hold a special session of the Judiciary Committee for a viewing of the movie “All the President’s Men”.

It is possible that actors Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman will appear before the committee to provide further insight into the Mueller report.
