House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said President Trump "richly deserves impeachment," but stopped short of joining a growing call for House Democrats to begin a formal inquiry.
"My personal view is that (Trump) richly deserves impeachment. He has done many impeachable offenses, he's violated the laws six ways from Sunday," Nadler said on CNN's "State of the Union."
"That's not the question," Nadler said, noting his desistance to begin impeachment proceedings. "The question is can we develop enough evidence."
He added that he sees no "time frame" for impeachment.
The House Judiciary chairman has said in the past that former special counsel Robert Mueller had developed substantial evidence that Trump is "guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors."
He didn't stray from that position following Mueller's testimony last week before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees.
Nadler said on ABC's "This Week" that Mueller's testimony "broke the lie that the and the attorney general have been saying to the American people" regarding the report exonerating Trump.
However, he has publicly stuck by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in her reservation to call for impeachment inquiries.
Ninety-nine congress members to date have joined the growing chorus for impeachment proceedings to begin, according to The Hill's Whip List.
Can we plant enough evidence?
Nadler said, noting his desistance
Desistance??? How do people like this get in office.
I suspect hes plain old man-jealous.
How in the world can a NYC Democrat politician who is also a congressman not be rich? That is not logical. They are all crooks.
Go for it Jowles! If the president broke the law six ways from Sunday then it is your sworn duty to impeach him! Dont just talk about it, $hit or get off the pot!
Nadler richly deserves to be on a spit with cherries in his eye sockets and an apple in his mouth for a cannibal roast.
So this is even worse. The ruthless quest for power in 2020 supersedes over the rule of law? That to me is proof of sedition.
He will probably live to 108 and still be serving in Congress.
