Nadler Argues Dems' Impeachment Case Is So Strong That a Jury Would Convict in 'Three Minutes Flat'

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NJ) on Sunday appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" to discuss Democrats' impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. According to Nadler, Democrats "have a very rock-solid case" against the president. 

“I think the case we have, if presented to a jury, would be a guilty verdict in about three minutes flat,” he said. "All this nonsense about hearsay – there is considerable direct evidence.”

Nadler claimed the Democrats don't have more direct evidence because the White House has blocked officials from testifying in the impeachment inquiry, citing executive privilege. 

“And it ill behooves a president or his partisans to say, ‘you don’t have enough direct evidence,’ when the reason we don’t have even more direct evidence is because the president has ordered everybody in the executive branch not to cooperate with Congress in the impeachment inquiry, something that is unprecedented in American history and is a contempt of congress by itself,” the Judiciary Committee Chairman said. 

“The only testimony we have are from public spirited, patriotic people in the CIA, the Pentagon, the White House itself who came forward and defied the president's orders and testified,” he said.

“We have a very rock solid case,” @RepJerryNadler says about the House Democrats' impeachment case. “The case we have if presented to a jury would be a guilty verdict in about three minutes flat.” https://t.co/TWeC2mhpgk #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/QCYqBEcK1G— State of the Union (@CNNSotu) December 8, 2019

In another Sunday interview, Nadler said it's likely that his Committee will bring forward articles of impeachment as early as this week.

"We’ll bring articles of impeachment presumably before the committee at some point later in the week,” Nadler told NBC's Chuck Todd.

The Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on Monday about what members of the House Intelligence Committee gathered during their investigation. The Intelligence Committee's investigation focused on alleged quid pro quo – or what the Democrats have now rebranded as "bribery." The Democrats claim Trump wanted former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, investigated for corruption for political gain. They say Trump threatened to withhold military aid from Ukraine unless Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky investigated the Bidens' corrupt behavior. 

At the time, Vice President Biden was handling international relations with Ukraine on behalf of the Obama administration. At the same time, Hunter was being paid $50,000 a month by corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma to sit on their board of directors, despite having no natural energy experience.

Any prosecutor with a case that strong would have brought it to trial long ago.

What a complete lying a- h@le. He hasn’t even given us a shred of credible evidence for any impeachable offense.

If the House is held to the identical Standards of Evidence as the ENTIRE COUNTRY is, they would have ZERO Evidence to introduce.

If I were on the jury I would demand that the judge revoke the prosecutor’s law license for malicious prosecution of an obviously innocent man.

Sure. Bill Clinton clearly committed actual crimes, and he didn't get thrown out of office by the Senate.

Does these people (e.g. Nadler, Schiff, and their fellow travelers) have any idea how unethical and unhinged they look? Do they care about the US at all? Do they care about US citizens? Do they care about anything other than having the unearned stature they have? If you were starting a business, and needed management, would you hire any Democrat congressperson? Would you want Nadler running your company?

This tells you the plan. Impeach, and then scream when the Senate acquits. Keep screaming, “illegitimate president” and foment insurrection for his entire second term.

Do you expect anything but outright lies from a bunch of a$$holes like Nadler, Schiff and their bunch of sick, demented, perverted scumb@g. They have no evidence, just 3rd, 4th hearsay from fellow liars that Schiff and Company COACHED into talking (Behind Closed doors).
