He thinks if he jumps out ahead of this he can then claim political retaliation when they kick down his door.

Jerry Nadler says 'formal impeachment proceedings' against Donald Trump have been launched and articles could be submitted to the House floor by the end of the year
Committee is 'gathering evidence' to impeach the president, says Jerry Nadler
He revealed that panel intends to invite witnesses in September and October
Nadler hopes to have impeachment articles on the House floor by the end of fall
He also praised House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for co-operating with his committee
Pelosi previously shot down attempts by Nadler to draft impeachment articles
House Judiciary chairman Jerry Nadler says he has started formal impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump.
He added that his committee's investigation into the president could see articles of impeachment sent to the House floor by the end of the year.
Rep. Nadler even added that some impeachment articles had already been drawn up and told CNN that the committee is 'gathering evidence'.
The panel intends to see witnesses in September and October, including former White House counsel Don McGahn, a star witness of the Mueller Report who Democrats want to force to testify about his interactions with the president.
Nadler also praised House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and said his committee wouldn't have been able to file lawsuits to gather evidence against the President without her support and co-operation.
Pelosi previously shut down Nadler when he had proposed drafting articles of impeachment at the end of July.

I think that's what the impeachment party is all about. They want to dominate the headlines with impeachment hype to lessen the public impact of the IG's findings. They know the corrupt media will emphasize impeachment over any damaging IG info.
Translation -
Nadler announces democrats are DETERMINED to get Trump re-elected.
I can’t wait to see this backfire...A lot of “news” personalities are still talking about how being impeached made Clinton more popular but they ignore one fact. Clinton actually did do something to be impeached for, Trump did not. Even the twisted polls show his approval rating going up. Watch what happens if Nadler actually tries it...
Also, the Bruce Orr 302s were just released, I’m waiting to see what the backlash from that will be too. According to what a few actual investigative reporters are saying, (Sara Carter for one) Barr is going to actually do his job, and might not be a political hack like Sessions.
Horowitz report supposedly due soon and sounds like it may be damaging, I’m not holding my breath, but it looks like Barr might be actually trying to change things and hold some people accountable. Now we need Wray replaced, badly...
Democrats need a smokescreen to hide what’s starting to come out about them.
Loin your girds.
Doughboy Nadler found his path to fame and is glued to it.
He’s been in politics his entire adult life, nothing but politics.
Who heard of him before the Trump witch hunt?
I think he’s man-jealous of the tall, strong, good looking, successful, wealthy, babe magnet and now President Trump. Bright green with envy. And now a TDS mental case because of it.
Sad little man, Nadler.
“Nadler needs to be launched into outer space”
I’m not sure a Saturn 5 will be enough to have him reach escape velocity...
Oh Jerry, you are just so yesterday’s news. We are not paying any attention to you and your charade.
Jerry is such an EMBARRASSMENT .. nobody as irrational as Nadler belongs in any position of trust in our society
“if it wasn’t for Nadler and other Jewish-American politicians Imperial Russian-style Anti-Jewish pogroms would be common in American!’
You would be amazed how many highly educated & intelligent Jewish Americans think that!
FOX's Chris Wallace.
Although his late old man may have been a guest as well.
Good catch - thank you
Who heard of him before the Trump witch hunt?
Lard@ss is an EVIL, hypocritical, and DISGUSTING fat slob.
Nadler, Cummings, Sanders, Waters, all voted against the Protect Act which passed in the House 400 - 25 and in the Senate 98 - 0 and signed into law in 2003, which among other things:
1) Expanded the prohibitions on, and increased penalties for, traveling in or into the United States or in foreign commerce to engage in illicit sexual conduct.
2) Provides for mandatory life imprisonment of a person convicted of a Federal sex offense against a minor if the person has a prior sex conviction in which a minor was the victim, unless a death sentence is imposed.
3) Established criminal liability for attempting to remove a child from the United States with intent to obstruct the lawful exercise of parental rights.
4) Eliminated statutes of limitations for child abduction or the sexual or physical abuse of a child.
5) Directs the Attorney General to assign a national AMBER Alert Coordinator.

So these cretins can’t be bothered to help innocent children in danger but they’ll waste millions chasing imaginary Russians.
actually, if there ever were to be any pogroms in America,
it would be BECAUSE of political hacks like Nadler (and a few more visible/prominent bad apples in the otherwise-excellent Jewish orchard)
people do tend to generalize, particularly about minority groups
(you don’t hear them complaining about a bad Christian politician as a “da**ed Christian” — people tend to generalize much more about minority groups)
Nadler and SorozNazi and a half-dozen more bad actors with Jewish names do the Jewish people far far more damage than all the “white nationalists” — and this harm is engendered even when (as with SorozNazi) the individual bad actors are not Jewish believers at all (indeed, they USUALLY aren’t.. .the bad actors are USUALLY fallen-away JINOs or else they just carry the names by descent and have never ever been Jewish themselves.. such as Soroznazi the avowed atheist)
yet, it is the several bad actors like Nadler etal... that share the blame for anti=Semitism (and no, I am NOT blaming the victims... I am partially blaming ONLY the limited number of visible bad actors and NOT the vast majority of the Jewish people who are good citizens and do not cause damage to America or our values.. but it is true that the good Jews will suffer the victimization if pogroms were ever to break out )
The only thing formal about this, is the Democrats going on the record as completely incompetent to hold office and faithfully apply the laws of the land to daily issues.
Nadler should step down. Anyone supporting this action should as well.
It’s a shame that unConstitutional activity can’t be met with swift action resulting in expulsion.
And they wonder why anti-Semitism still exists! I don’t dislike him because he’s Jewish....I detest him because he’s an EVIL, VILE, VICIOUS LYING DESTROYER of good people.....in other words a LIBERAL!
Ahhhh...thanks...

“The effect of impeachment is to overturn the popular will of the voters. We must not overturn an election and remove a president from office except to defend our system of government or our Constitutional liberties unless against a dire threat,” Nadler said in 1998, during the House vote on impeaching former President Bill Clinton.
Nadler noted even then that Congress should not impeach a president unless they have an “overwhelming consensus of the American people.”
“There must never be a narrowly-voted impeachment or an impeachment supported by one of our major political parties and opposed by the other,” Nadler concluded. “Such an impeachment will produce the divisiveness and bitterness in our politics for years to come and will call into question the very legitimacy of our political institutions.”
So, by his own belief, Nadler wants to “call into question the very legitimacy of our political institutions.”
Sounds like an invitation for revolution by patriots, no?
