Rep. Nadler Calls for Federal DOJ To Consider Charges Against Kyle Rittenhouse
Legal Insurrection ^ | Friday, November 19, 2021 | Teri Christoph

Posted on 11/19/2021 2:10:16 PM PST by nickcarraway

“This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ.”

The left’s reaction to Kyle Rittenhouse being acquitted of all charges was predictable and not particularly creative. According to them, he deserves to die, rot in hell, yadda, yadda, yadda.

But one Democrat is taking things further by calling on the Biden DOJ to consider federal charges against Rittenhouse. Rep. Jerry Nadler, who is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, tweeted his call for a federal review just hours after the jury’s verdict was announced.

Many on the left, who so nonchalantly and callously dismiss the damage done to people and property by BLM and Antifa, support Nadler’s call for a federal investigation. It could be argued that Democrats are so accustomed to things going their way that they can’t handle it when they lose.

Nadler would be wise to step away from his emotions over the verdict and think about the repercussions of pushing the narrative that Kyle Rittenhouse was a white supremacist who violated the civil rights of his attackers. The government failed — spectacularly! — in making that case and the Kenosha jury decided what most knew all along: it was simply a case of self-defense.

"Remember, the Feds can create a federal crime when investigating one."

An excellent point.

"Only Cavuto Republicans didn’t see this one coming."

Ooohhhh, that's good!

Don't be surprised to see me using that line sometime in the future.

Bravo!

“ABC news wondering how much easier it will be for Kyles attackers to sue him in civil court then this criminal court”

IMHO ABC News needs to worry about a lawsuit from Kyle.

“Somehow I don’t think Waddler wants to go there.”

This is for his base. I’m sure that orders have been given NOT to do this. That would definitely be a bridge too far for the libs.

I donated several times and just before I opened a window for FR I gave the biggest donation of all. Kyle and his mother cleared the biggest hurdle today but the stress they're under isn't going to end for quite a while to come. Hopefully they won't be bankrupted in the process.

I donated for personal reasons and for political reasons. This was definitely a political cause.

It wont. Their criminal records will be brought in a civil court.

Leftists demand the right to hurt you and I with government. If one level of governmenr fails, they come after you with another and then another and then another.

The democrat party and all of its voters are the enemy.

The DOJ should prosecute a Adler for being a morbidly obese blowhard.

Indeed!

That is a great meme and I REALLY hope it becomes a reality.

Kyle should go after Joetato (among the many deserving) and take every penny of his Ukrainian and Chinese grift.

I think murder is NOT a federal crime when not on Fed property.

Most would be civil rights ... he did not take ar15 across state lines.

Nadler doesn’t want to open the can of worms of white people suing for their civil rights being violated - it would be the end of the Democrat Party.

I don’t think politicians baying for blood are an appropriate start for a criminal investigation.

I’m sure Merrick Garland agrees /s

The irony of this is that Nadler is a member of the House judiciary committee, and so should understand that bringing civil rights charges against a single individual defendant is extraordinarily difficult.

Then again, it's Nadler, and he's an idiot.
