Jerry Nadler Calls Every GOP Senator Who Voted To Acquit tRump Corrupt

The exchange between Nadler and Jake Tapper on CNN’s State Of The Union:

TAPPER: I know you announced you’re going to investigate why Berman was fired.

Some congressional Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, have said that this is it, this is the last straw, Attorney General Bill Barr needs to be impeached.

You have not gone that far. Do you think calls for his impeachment are premature?

The House can't do anything about the Senate except to send them articles of impeachment for trial and a vote. The outcome is not the House's concern; doing the right thing is.

themselves. It's almost July, and they'll all be off for August campaigning at home for their own election in November. That's just the reality. At this stage it would only give their opponents a helping hand.

once we get into 2020 it will be too close to the election and too late to do anything.

Well, that's where we are ... trying to impeach Barr 4 months before the election is a non-starter. It's just a waste of time.

that Trump will lose to Biden. And they may lose the Senate, too.

You'll know something is up when pollsters start polling Biden vs. someone other than Trump.
Biden vs Romney, Biden vs Pence, etc.

Another sign is if they start postponing their convention before Trump gets nominated.

they blew the bridge up and joined the enemy ranks. It way past time for the House to do everything they can including more impeachment and defunding everything the fascists care about.
