Trump White House rejects Nadler invite to Wednesday impeachment hearing
by Jerry Dunleavy
| December 01, 2019 09:23 PM
The Trump administration rejected Chairman Jerry Nadler’s invitation to participate in Wednesday’s impeachment hearing as the Democrat-led Ukraine inquiry shifts from the House Intelligence Committee to the House Judiciary Committee.
White House Counsel Pat Cipollone derided the “baseless and highly partisan†Democratic impeachment investigation in a five-page letter Sunday evening, claiming the Democrat-led effort “violates all past historical precedent, basic due process rights, and fundamental fairness.â€
The Trump lawyer zeroed in on Nadler’s upcoming hearing, which is set to focus on the “historical and constitutional basis of impeachment†but remains largely shrouded in mystery. Cipollone claimed Nadler “no doubt purposely†scheduled this hearing when President Trump would be overseas at the NATO Leaders Meeting in London.

Great decision. The last hearing was judged by the public negatively and the next one looks to be a snore-fest. Why draw any attention to an illegitimate partisan process? If his legal team were to show up, more rather than less, people would watch. Good move by the president.

Agree. I have to wonder about republican commentators who advise the president to validate this farce by participating in it as if it were legitimate.
