It’s time for the dumbest, most disorganized committee to take up impeachment.
Democrats of doing things backward, omitting fact witnesses only to have the scholars “giving us jury instructions before we hear the evidence.”
In such a contest, the winning side is often the one that can yell the loudest, or—as the New York Times—merely the side that can “mire Democrats in a sloppy fight, making the hearings into such a confusing mishmash of competing information that even Republicans troubled by Mr. Trump’s actions see no upside in breaking with him.”
Finally, Democratic leadership on the Judiciary Committee, particularly Chairman Jerry Nadler, has proved itself inept at stopping the Republican circus. As the Times reported, “Republicans have been quick to weaponize Mr. Nadler’s patience against him in the past, taking advantage of his reticence to simply gavel them into silence.”
Nadler is not aided by his own members in keeping control of the proceedings. When Attorney General William Barr failed to show for testimony about presidential misconduct documented in the Mueller report, to avoid being challenged by a staff attorney, Rep. Steve Cohen led a group of members in astunt featuring a rubber chicken and a bucket of fried chicken.
