Nadler announces sweeping document requests, says Trump obstructed justice

[shockedcanadian]

After 2 years of Mueller, the House is now the top law enforcement agency in the U.S?

Can't beat him on policies, afraid you're losing all future voters when a wall is built, worried about another Conservative Supreme Court Judge?

No problem, just harass and try and get rid of the president who was democratically elected.

Nadler announces sweeping document requests, says Trump obstructed justice

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, who would oversee any impeachment proceedings against President Trump, announced that he will submit more than 60 document requests to the White House and Justice Department on Monday -- a barrage that Nadler called the opening salvo in new and wide-ranging investigations.

Congressional Democrats have repeatedly promised to exercise tight oversight of the Trump administration since securing a majority in the House of Representatives in last November's midterms. But Nadler's comments signaled clearly that Democratic leaders are no longer counting on Special Counsel Robert Mueller's forthcoming report on possible Russia collusion to contain damning evidence against the Trump administration.


“Tomorrow, we will be issuing document requests to over 60 different people and individuals from the White House to the Department of Justice, Donald Trump, Jr., [Trump Organization CFO] Allen Weisselberg, to begin the investigations to present the case to the American people about obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power,” Nadler, D-NY., said on ABC News' "This Week."

He added that the goal of the probe was "to present the case to the American people about obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power."

Asked by anchor George Stephanopoulos whether he thinks Trump obstructed justice in the Russia investigation, Nadler replied: "Yes, I do. ... It's very clear that the president obstructed justice."

Trump obstructs leftists, the opposite of justice.

If Mueller couldn't nail Trump the democrat clown car sure won't.

I dont think it'll go over well with the American people.

I really hope you are right about this. Especially, if as has been announced, Mueller is going to announce the end of his investigation.

I guarantee this just based on what I am personally seeing over the last two years, there are a number of agents within the FBI and CIA who are starting to really consider if this was a very sophisticated rogue by either the Democratic Party (really, Hillary and her global socialist donors), or, as I have stated, potentially even a "friendly" foreign agency that really didn't want Trump to win. If this were the case, I'd point my finger at the Five Eyes nations, in particular the British. I have no evidence, it's just always my gut feeling, and I stated this very early when the dossier was more public. It never made sense for this to have been Russia, at least not as it as reported.

Now, plausible deniability is one factor, but, how can anyone say with any certainty, if this isnt legit, that this didn't go all the way up to Obama? It's like a really unbelievable movie, and I can't say one way or another if Trump is guilty or not. I've felt it never made sense, but, at least I wanted to hear from the Mueller Report and FBI before I concluded. We all should, right?

Trump did promise a transparent government. Watch the democrats fulfill his bullshit promise.

Trump response: DENIED.

This must mean the Mueller report is going to be a bust for the Democrats. Otherwise, why not just wait a few weeks for the report to come out and use its results to support further investigations. By not even waiting for the Mueller report, it simply supports Trumps "witch hunt" charges. The Dems have told us we must wait for Mueller for the last two years. What's changed?

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

The Democrats are desperate to keep the "investigation" before the public and going in media whether or not there is anything to find. We are already in the next election cycle, and they need something to distract from their anti-American platform, and their three shiny new crazy people.

The first thing I'd if I were Trump since the Democrats want a play ball and have a truly transparent government is make all of the Obama presidency and information available with Hillary and Bill being the next in line.

The party of the Green New Deal cannot win with their ideas.....they have to win with harassment and obstruction. They weren't elected to do what needs to be done. They took power for one purpose only......to get in the way and hinder progress. They hope that this will help them get a lying Democrat back in the White House. Meanwhile they'll do everything they can to keep RBG alive till they can steal the WH again.

I don't recall Trump saying that, but Obama did, and Trump's admin is a 1000 times more transparent that Obama's.

mueller hasn't turned in his report yet. btw - that's only about russia. he has others investigating financial crimes because RICO is out of his mandate. there are prosecutors from watergate & enron involved AND that's not even counting SDNY.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

This is going to be the backfire heard around the world. Democrats have nothing. They want endless investigations as a form of harassment. As Joy Behar said, they are desperate. Desperation makes people do foolish things.

Democrats know they do not have a candidate to challenge Trump. That's why they are not putting any effort in getting a Democrat elected.

uh- the AG might not release it to congress. AND the (D)s had no choice but to say to wait, since they didn't have the majority in either house.

but now they do. it's checks & balances time, kiddies........... buckle up.

Trump has immediate access to everything Obama was doing in office up to the day he left.

Lol, Obama promised to have the most transparent administration in history. Which was a whopper of a lie.

All presidents promise that before they enter the secret world of the White House. While a certain amount of secrecy is proper the real test of transparency is how they react to congressional document requests.

I would write a nice letter to Nadler! Tell him that as soon as Lois Lerner and Hillary Clinton produce their documents I’ll produce mine. Oh, yes, and we would like to see the sealed documents on fast and furious too obamaturd!
