Nadler scolds GOP senators: 'The Senate is on trial'
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/15/20 | Dominick Mastrangelo

When the impeachment proceedings against President Trump begin again next week, he won't be the only one facing scrutiny, Rep. Jerry Nadler said.

"The Senate is on trial as well as the president," Nadler said during a Wednesday press conference. "Does the Senate conduct a trial according to the Constitution to vindicate the Republic, or does the Senate participate in the president’s crimes by covering them up?”

**SNIP**

"The emphasis is on litigators and on making the strongest possible case to the American people," the speaker said.

Nadler, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called into questioned the integrity of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has indicated the chamber's majority will be in lockstep with the White House regarding Trump's impeachment.

"If the Senate doesn’t permit the introduction of all relevant witnesses and all of the documents that the House wants to introduce, because the House is the prosecutor here, then the Senate is engaging in an unconstitutional and disgusting cover-up," Nadler said.

Jerry has a load in his pants but no one can tell.

Actually, that’s his head, in full rectal defilade. 😁

The problem for Nadless is that the Republicans will run it IAW the Constitution with all of the protections for the accused that entails.

"Nadler, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee,"

Um, I don't think so - he's not even a Senator.

Journalists/articles with such egregious errors lose all credibility.

I hope the laugh track soundboard is moved to the Senate. Let the House Managers enter the chamber with circus music.

Nadler, Pelosi, etc. Evil must be a great preservative. They never go away or just die.

Evil is a life extender, God let’s them fully express themselves till the cup of his wrath is full. In Nads case the little guy needed a bowl.

God being Just wants the spanking to be equal to the evil. Who knew Nads, Pelosi and Schiff were beyond bat sheiite crazy before this? Who can deny it now, they certainly can’t.

I pity them...

He’s got it completely backwards. The Senate is NOT on trial, but the House is. The house failed to protect the enumerated constitutional rights of the President, a US citizen. The incompetent, weak leaders in the House know this, and fear greatly of being exposed for it. It is these scoundrels who will be tried, and found guilty.

The 'Ratz win when the Senate acquits Trump.

They will shriek about "cover-up" until the election and claim "impeached Presidents cannot nominate Supreme Court Justices".

The 'Ratz are a cunning bunch and deserve to be exterminated.

The democrats should be on trial for fraud. They are basically admitting they impeached a President without evidence.

Oh, smart, Jerry. Go right ahead and poke the bear. Antagonize the people who have 100% power to knock you down a peg or two, ridicule you, and do nothing you say. Keep it up.

“They know how they feel. And they feel that he is guilty.”

He IS guilty — of whipping their asses in November 2016. That’s it.

Nadler should be on trial.

Or at least under oath. Then on trial after he lies.
