How would he know? He sleeps during the hearings!
Constitutional Treason = Democrat Party
Swing time to ensue
Nadler said, [T]his situation meets all three tests. The president committed impeachable offenses. They were important impeachable offenses. They go to the heart of our constitutional republic. They threaten the survival of democracy itself and the integrity of free elections. And the majority of the people, and of the House, I believe, understand that. Those are the three tests.
While Nadler’s three part test seems to be a moving target, I don’t see how the test is passed in any one of his different versions.
December 24, 2018, on with Lawrence O’Donnell (5:00):
Number one, do you believe that you have real solid evidence the president is committing impeachable offenses?
Number two, are those offenses of sufficient gravity to justify putting the country through an impeachment process?
And number three, because you dont want to tear the country apart you dont want half the country the next 30 years to say we won the election, you stole it from us. Do you think that the evidence that you have is so sufficiently clear and sufficiently convincing of deeds so clearly impeachable and necessary to impeach, that once you have laid it out, that you believe that once you have laid all that evidence out, an appreciable fraction of the opposition vote base will say they had to do this.

August 5, 2019, with Mike Barnicle on Morning Joe (5:19)
Number one: can you prove the president committed impeachable offenses. Number two: are these serious impeachable offenses. And Number three: do you have the support of the American people. We will hold these hearings, we will get the support of the American people or we wont. I suspect we will.

If the people dont support it, um, then maybe dont go to impeachment, because you have to have public support.

December 4, 2019, closing statement at Judicial Committee hearing on impeachment (8:23:40):
Yes, the President has committed an impeachable offense.
Yes, the Presidents alleged offenses represent a threat to the constitutional order.
Yes, we should not proceed unless some of the citizens who have supported the President in the last election are willing to come with us. A majority of this country is clearly prepared to impeach and remove President Trump.
