Nadler: Dems Have to 'Persuade' Trump Voters They're 'Not Just Trying to Steal' the Last ElectionCNS News, Mar 4, 2019, Susan Jones
Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, says he believes President Trump obstructed justice, yet "impeachment is a long way down the road," because first Nadler has to convince enough Trump voters that impeachment "ought to happen," and that Democrats are not "just trying to steal" the last election.
"This investigation goes far beyond collusion," Nadler said. "We have seen all the democratic norms that we depend on for democratic government attacked by the administration.
"We've seen attacks on the the freedom of the press, the press called the enemy of the people; we've seen attacks onmthe Department of Justice, attacks on the FBI; attacks on judges. All of these are very corrosive to liberty and the proper functioning of government and to our constitutional system. All of this has to be looked at, and the facts laid out for the American people."
"Do you think the president obstructed justice?" Stephanopoulos asked Nadler.
"Yes, I do," the Judiciary chairman said. "It's very clear that the president obstructed justice. It's very clear. Eleven hundred times he referred to the Mueller investigation as a witch hunt. He tried to -- he fired -- he tried to protect Flynn from being investigated by the FBI. He fired Comey in order to stop the Russian thing as he told NBC news. He -- he has dangled part -- he's intimidated witnesses in public.
