Nadler repeats faulty claim, corrected by Mueller, about why Trump was not indicted

By Alex Pappas | Fox News

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler repeated a faulty claim Friday – which was corrected by former Special Counsel Robert Mueller during his testimony earlier this week – about why President Trump wasn’t indicted in the Russia probe.

During a Democratic press conference about Mueller’s testimony, Nadler, a New York Democrat, claimed Mueller said the only reason Trump wasn’t indicted for obstruction of justice was because of a Justice Department opinion prohibiting charging a sitting president with a crime. He cited Mueller’s response to a question from House Judiciary Committee member Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif.



“He told us in a remarkable exchange with Mr. Lieu that but for the Department of Justice policy prohibiting [him] from doing so, he would have indicted President Trump,” Nadler said. “Indeed it is clear that any other citizen of this country who has behaved as this president has would have been charged with multiple crimes.”

But on Wednesday, Mueller himself went out of his way to clarify that he didn’t intend to suggest that.

And Nadler will get away with this?

I hope we manage to keep mics in front of idiots like Nader for the duration.

Nadler has carefully avoided any but the friendliest of media since becoming House Judiciary Committee chairman.

Mark Levin just made a very good point - if Nadler seeks to impeach the duly elected president of the US he has an obligation to take his case to all media outlets and all Americans, not just the friendly media and the nutbar fringe.

Two words:  Chris.  Wallace.  He can be counted on to be friendly to Nadler.
