This makes ZERO SENSE: Looks like Jerry Nadler just outed House Democrats' impeachment fantasy for what it REALLY is

And now a lesson in D.C. doublespeak from House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler (D-New York).

Part I:  Nadler says Trump has violated law after law (“six ways from Sunday”) and needs to be impeached.

Part II:  Nadler says his committee needs more evidence to move forward with impeachment.

Jerry Nadler: Trump should be impeached because 'he's violated the laws six ways from Sunday. But he said the House Judiciary Committee needs "more evidence" to determine whether or not the chamber should take the first step in a long impeachment process. https://t.co/JZfuAKldCC

That quote speaks loudly about where Democrats are currently and heading into the 2020 election.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has allowed the fringe of her party to drive their messaging and positioning to a place from which there may be no return.

Can somebody smarter than me explain how Nadler's position makes any sense? https://t.co/C5NUrGhch6

Zero sense.

Inflict the damage of impeachment without incurring the risk.

Most importantly, Nadler’s blathering is not making Hillary Clinton superfan Peter Daou happy.

#JerryNadler has been my rep for most of my adult life. Now that his moment to stand up to Trump has arrived, he has resorted to empty spin as an excuse to avoid his duty. With Trump and the GOP trampling our Constitution, Democrats deserve better than this dithering and dodging. https://t.co/cp9l3UZ2em

Thinking it was going to give them the silver bullet, House Democrats’ hearings featuring former Special Counsel Robert Mueller this past week only succeeded in making their impeachment fantasy look extremely pathetic.
