In a stunning lack of judgment, Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), revealed House Democrats plans to impeach Justice Brett Kavanaugh for alleged perjury and President Donald Trump for unsubstantiated accusations of collusion with Russia.
Nadler also lamented that elite Republicans were joining Democrats in opposing the current administration.
Shockingly, all of his conversations were within earshot of scores of passengers riding Amtrak from New York to Washington.
The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway reports:
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.
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.
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.
It remains unclear if Nancy Pelosi will rein in her caucus after Democrats officially seize power in January.
