‘Courts Take Months And Months’

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler admitted Sunday that the main reason House Democrats have been keeping impeachment-related issues out of the courts is that it would take too long.

Nadler spoke with CNN’s Dana Bash, who was guest-hosting “State of the Union” for Jake Tapper, about the most recent developments in the ongoing 'impeachment proceedings' against President Donald Trump.

Bash pressed Nadler on the fact that House Democrats had not pushed harder to compel testimony from possible direct witnesses, such as White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former National Security Advisor John Bolton.

“But the Founders, who we heard a lot about in your committee last week, set up a third co-equal branch of government, the courts, to resolve differences like this but you have not tried to go to the courts to compel these witnesses to testify,” Bash began. “With something as grave and momentous as impeachment, why not?”

I disagree Jerry. I think the reason is your "high crimes and misdemeanors" didn't even pass the sniff test let alone a grand jury ruling. The charges are paper thin with no fact witnesses and everyone admitting this is purely a political stunt. You and Schiff are a disgrace and will never be taken seriously again. You are power mongers with Pelosi pulling your strings and in fact you are setting dangerous precedent where no sitting president will be safe from future impeachments. The truth...you just can't get over 2016. PERIOD!

It's shake and bake in Nadler's EZ Bake Oven. In the end they'll burn their fingers on the lightbulb.
