Overheard: Jerry Nadler Promises to Go "All-In" on Russia Investigation; Wants to Investigate FBI, Wants to Impeach Kavanaugh
The Democrats claiming they're not going to impeach Trump or Kavanaugh are lying.
Here we go. I rode the train down with an important incoming chairman of House Judiciary and heard about their plans to impeach Kavanaugh and Trump. #RussiaRussiaRussia! https://t.co/bErZmO82jL
— Mollie (@MZHemingway) November 7, 2018
Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., revealed plans for House Democrats to investigate and impeach Justice Brett Kavanaugh for alleged perjury and investigate and impeach President Donald Trump for alleged treasonous collusion with Russia. In post-election chats with various callers while riding the Acela train from New York to Washington, Nadler gave advice to a newly elected representative and discussed potential 2020 Democratic presidential nominees with another. He also lamented identity politics and the thriving economy and worried about Democrats losing working-class voters while gaining elite former Republicans and suburban women.Yeah, NeverTrump is made up of the hardest of hard-core Super-Conservatives. So conservative, in fact, that Nadler now acknowledges they are an (unwelcome) part of the Democrat voting coalition. Are we going to keep pretending that obvious urban, socially-liberal, economically-moderate establishment types who are always calling the actual conservative base "crazies" and "Hobbits" are the most conservative of all of us? Or are we going to be grown up and start admitting that our alleged NeverTrump Super-Conservatives are just urban/suburban liberals looking out for the preferences of their fellow urban/suburban liberals?
Nadler was headed to DC for a two-day planning session with his staff and Judiciary Committee staff. "We've got to figure out what we're doing," he explained in a phone call with a friend. Nadler requested that the friend’s name be concealed on the grounds he is a private citizen.Eh, seems fair, now that I think about it. In any event, Nadler can no longer deny this conversation took place and is accurately reported.
The two discussed two routes for investigating new Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh. The first is to go after the FBI for how they handled the investigation into unsubstantiated claims he sexually assaulted women. "They didn't even do a half-ass job," he said. "They didn't interview 30 witnesses who said 'Interview me! I've got a lot to say!'" he said, while mimicking people waving their hands to be called on. His other plan is to go after Kavanaugh because "there's a real indication that Kavanaugh committed perjury." He claimed that The Atlantic published an article about the allegations of a third woman. Then he claimed that when Kavanaugh was "asked at a committee hearing under oath when he first heard of the subject, he said, 'When I'd heard of the Atlantic article.' But there is an email chain apparently dating from well before that from him about "How can we deal with this?'" Nadler told the caller.In other words, Nadler finds out his claim of perjury is false, because there is proof that Kavanaugh didn't lie, but instead of saying "Oh forget that, then" he says something more like "Well how can we lie to get around the proof that he was telling the truth?"
...Read the whole thing. These people who blab loudly on tightly-packed trains and then have to beg reporters to not reveal the name of the party they were scheming with are now in control of national security, on the House side. PS: No media will cover this, including the news division at Fox, which is run by NeverTrumpers and who routinely block stories that could hurt their NeverTrump and Democrat pals. Even though Mollie Hemingway is one of Fox's employees and journalists. And even though, by asking Mollie to withhold the name of the party on the phone, Jerrold Nadler implicitly concedes he said all the things that Mollie says she overheard. You may see Mollie talk about this on the non-news side, like on Tucker, but the news side will completely embargo this. It's what they do. You will also notice a strong lack of interest from the NeverTrumpers who either openly or impliedly agitated for a Democrat takeover. They don't like admitting that their little palace intrigues have actual negative consequences for the "conservative agenda" they allegedly support. They don't want to admit they just helped the Kavanaugh impeachment along. They kind of knew they were doing exactly that -- but they don't want to admit they knew they were doing that. They want to continue posturing as Super Hard-Core Conservative A-Number One.
When the caller objected to the plan, Nadler pushed back, "That's not technical, that's real." He conceded that maybe it was not a great plan, since even if Kavanaugh could be removed, it might not result in the political results desired. ... Nadler said Russia investigations would be under a broad umbrella of holding Trump "accountable," since it's a more palatable argument than impeachment, that they would be going "all-in," and much of what they get to would be "depending on what [special counsel Robert] Mueller finds."

against Kavanaugh, including Ford's, and has the FBI checking into
Ford's beach friend Monica McLean for witness tampering.
The fact that Avenetti and his skank are being investigated for making false statements should keep away any other false accusers.
And declassifying the FISA warrants and Ohr's reports on Steele will show it was a collusion between the FBI, DOJ and the Brits.
But then, all Nadler wants is show trials and soundbites for 2020 political ads.

As to the content, raise your hand if you saw this coming. The Dems spent months talking about how they would impeach the moment they got the house, and then walked it back for a few weeks. This is a shocking development if you're seven.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at November 07, 2018 04:51 PM (I2dne)
There's panic here, folks. The dems lose their biggest control on Trump if the Mueller scam is ended. At the same time some very interesting and damaging things come to light.
But, the biggest item I don't think anyone is focusing on is that a new AG (if a good one) has a whole month to act on all the specific requests of the House committees that have been blocked by Rosenstein. Keep an eye on Brennan's twitter...he's going to threaten Rosenstein in to not resigning....Bank on it.

I've listened to Federalist podcasts that she hosted. Man, she knows the whole Russia nothingburger/Hillary-connected malfeasance inside out. She really brought me up to date after my glorious time as an LIV. Details are complicated but it's clear Trump didn't do anything.
And she started out pretty neutral about the issue and open to what may transpire.
I love how the Dems aren't really concerned about the booming economy and people's well being. After all, "Orange man bad" is the #1 priority.

It wasn't a criminal investigation. It was an investigation for the Senate committee. They are the ones who decide if it was good enough or not.
What a friggin joke. This is almost as good as Conyers - another Dem Judiciary Chair - showed his great knowledge of AMerican government by citing the "Good and Welfare Clause".

There's panic here, folks. The dems lose their biggest control on Trump if the Mueller scam is ended. At the same time some very interesting and damaging things come to light.
But, the biggest item I don't think anyone is focusing on is that a new AG (if a good one) has a whole month to act on all the specific requests of the House committees that have been blocked by Rosenstein. Keep an eye on Brennan's twitter...he's going to threaten Rosenstein in to not resigning....Bank on it.

PS: No media will cover this, including the news division at Fox, which is run by NeverTrumpers and who routinely block stories that could hurt their NeverTrump and Democrat pals.
Even though Mollie Hemingway is one of Fox's employees and journalists.
You may see Mollie talk about this on the non-news side, like on Tucker, but the news side will completely embargo this.
It's what they do.
You will also notice a strong lack of interest from the NeverTrumpers who either openly or impliedly agitated for a Democrat takeover. They don't like admitting that their little palace intrigues have actual negative consequences for the "conservative agenda" they allegedly support. They don't want to admit they just helped the Kavanaugh impeachment along.
They kind of knew they were doing exactly that -- but they don't want to admit they knew they were doing that.
They want to continue posturing as Super Hard-Core Conservative A-Number One.

Even if true, it doesn't prove perjury. We don't know when Kavanaugh heard about the Atlantic article. Maybe the Atlantic writer called Kavanaugh and tried to get a confirmation or denial from him before the article was published. That's pretty standard procedure if you're going to publish somebody's unsubstantiated accusation against a public figure. Or possibly somebody else who knew the article was going to be published warned Kavanaugh about it. Unless the committee asked follow-up questions and pinned Kavanaugh down to a date, there's no way any prosecutor could prove perjury from this.

Here is the results page that updates every 10 minutes:

With 82/83 counties reporting, the totals are James: 1,737,880 to Stebenow: 1,743,506.
The SoS is not reporting the same numbers I am seeing in the press and I don't know where the press is getting their numbers. For all I know, they are holding totals from a county back until they count the military and other absentee votes so they know how much they have to cheat. But for right now, vote totals are only .16% apart.

It will be popcorn time, and Donny Two Scoops will do his thing, and make deals that will benefit our country, because he loves our country. He has been fucked with by the Dems, so he knows who his enemies are - he is not stupid.
So, while I am disappointed in the LIV idiots that are about, electing socialisty dipshits, I am optimistic that with every day that passes, more and more people will see the Dems' shit is all retarded.

Local news reports that Maricopa is still counting "late earlies" -- that is, early mail-in votes that people dropped off at polling stations yesterday. They say it may take Maricopa days to count those votes.

CO had a great one this year. It was to change our flat income tax to a progressive tax "for schools!" The language of the bill didn't earmark all of those new funds for schools, either, by my reading. It was just a cash grab. It got defeated.

Take a fresh perspective. I've found the last few months frustrating. There is sort of a gentleman's agreement in DC that nothing of consequence occurs 60 days up to an election. There is even a name for it (but I can't recall what it is). However, nothing precludes planning for that day after the election. And, we are seeing that now. I'm still not what you would call a Trump supporter. But, I guarantee you things are going to start moving very very fast now. Good or bad...things are about to get extremely interesting. And the guy in the big chair does not like to lose.

Well not "gone" gone... the penalty was merely (and likely temporarily) zeroed out. The mandate is still there and anybody without insurance is still breaking the law. The effect for right now is the same BUT this is a ticking time bomb as any future budget can reset that penalty to any punitive level congress wants.
I am hoping that HHS is working to repeal most to all of the requirements for insurance in administrative code. That would allow people to buy cat care policies again.

Barring retirements, the only reasonable pick-up opportunities for the Dems out of the 20 GOP seats up for re-election are CO and ME - that said, both of them are likely to flip.
To balance that, the GOP is not entirely likely to screw themselves out of sending Doug Jones into an early Alabama retirement twice in a row, so that's probably a -1 at worse.

I get that, and I said before the election, that Walker fatigue was a factor. What has me going out of my mind is that I watched every single precinct come in last night, a couple hundred here and there the difference between the two candidates all night. Then BAM 25,000 fall from the sky for Evers with 97% in. Then I find out this morning that Milwaukee "reconstructed" a good portion of their "unreadable" ballots. That they supposedly shredded. That ain't right. Lose? Ok. Stolen? Not ok.

Look, Democrats ran on protecting ObamCare and won on that. Lots of exit polls seem to show it resonated.
I'm sure as hell not saying I like this development, and exit polls can certainly overstate things, but I think a lot of people turned out on this issue.
Hell, every Republican was promising to protect pre-existing conditions, including Trump.

With 100% of precincts reporting, Kemp is over the 50% + 1 that would trigger a run-of so no run off and he is enough ahead that I don't think an automatic recount will be triggered. Abrams can sit and spin because her acquiescence to the results is not necessary.

It was always available, but it cost more. Yes, I'll admit, some employer plans would not insure you with pre-existing conditions, but again, there were always options. It's just that they didn't want to pay for it.
What irritates me is that you have people who think nothing of dropping $200 at a bar or whatever, but don't you dare ask them to pay $200 for a prescription.

It will be an Fing circus. And in the long run, it will hurt them.
The slim majority they have will be very hard to defend in 2020, the map and the gerrymandering will not be so favorable to them then. Their antics will be ripe fodder for Trump to hold up and show to voters as insanity for two years leading up to then.
Meanwhile most of the RINOs are gone, leaving Trump Repubs to rally behid the president. Yes it will be painful for a while, but I think in the long run it's a big win in 2020.

I mean tenure in the sense of their average length of time working as a teacher. Both are absolutely relevant when discussing pay. If the average teacher makes $80k, but has been there for fifteen years, that's different than if the average teacher has only been teaching for five. And high turnover may force districts to raise pay to keep teachers from leaving due to the availability of other opportunities or working conditions (such as an inner city school).

would be a good idea several years ago to allow illegals to be licensed
to drive because there would be no way to get insurance if said illegal
didn't have a driver's license."
Some years back I served on jury duty in a case where some Central American illegals driving a van with no license plates rear-ended a woman's car, then fled the scene, and her insurance company wouldn't pay up.
That was in downtown Charlotte.

They were also covering immigration and opposing amnesty, asking people to make calls on The Corner. This was some time after John Derbyshire said they were embarrassed by his asking questions of a presidential candidate about immigration. Now they are still running Mark Kirkorian. I think NeverTrumper David French is also solid on the issue.I remember a Corner post where they were complaining how Bush Admin refused to use top drone technology to stop drugs from coming in because they realized it would also stop illegals from coming in.
