BTW, a little off topic, but I’ve never seen why Nadler was allowed not only to participate but to direct much of this. He and Trump were enemies since NY, when Trump was one of the first to want to redevelop the West Side (the area is now the very successful Hudson Yards, High Line, Chelsea Piers, etc.). Nadler was anti-development and fought him tooth and nail and hated him, because Trump won.
Nadler was, then as now, a fat, useless Upper West Sider who had never done anything productive in his entire life. He was a lousy Representative who never did anything for his district. But he hated Trump, there’s a long history of his hatred for Trump and desire for revenge, and I do not understand why this is never brought up as making him unfit to participate in this (show) process.
“BTW, a little off topic, but Ive never seen why Nadler was allowed not only to participate but to direct much of this.”
Because the Democrats control the House and get to choose the committee chairman.
Send your thanks to Paul Ryan for his great help in handing the House over to the Democrats.
