It Never Stops: House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler Calls On Appeals Court to Reexamine McGahn Decision

Rep. Jerry Nadler called on a federal appeals court to reexamine their decision not to force former Trump attorney Don McGahn to testify before his committee.

Nadler wants to call in McGahn to testify on the junk Russia conspiracy.

The Washington Examiner reported:

    The Democratic-led committee asked on Friday for the full court to rehear the case.

    “The Committee’s petition argues that the panel’s ruling misread binding precedent and — if allowed to stand — would severely undermine the House’s ability to perform its constitutional functions as a check on the Executive Branch,” Chairman Jerry Nadler said in a statement.

    “Two of the three judges on the panel strongly suggested that they would reject President Trump’s claim of ‘absolute immunity’ if they were able to reach the merits of the case. The full Court should promptly rehear this case and make clear, once and for all, that White House aides cannot ignore subpoenas from Congress,” the New York Democrat added.

Nadler quietly conducting one-man impeachment inquiry against Trump
March 7, 2020 | Tom Tillison

Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., is effectively conducting a one-man impeachment inquiry despite House Democrats having thoroughly failed in their partisan effort to take out President Donald Trump.

The House Judiciary Committee chairman is still pursuing the Ukraine controversy, even though the U.S. Senate acquitted Trump of the charges leveled against him.

Nadler and his panel of Democratic co-conspirators asked a federal appeals court on Friday to reconsider its decision not to enforce a subpoena compelling former White House lawyer Don McGahn to testify, the Washington Examiner reported.

This coming after a three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, in a 2-1 decision, overruled a lower court decision last week requiring that McGahn comply with a House subpoena.

“The Committee’s petition argues that the panel’s ruling misread binding precedent and — if allowed to stand — would severely undermine the House’s ability to perform its constitutional functions as a check on the Executive Branch,” Nadler said in a statement, according to the newspaper.

“Two of the three judges on the panel strongly suggested that they would reject President Trump’s claim of ‘absolute immunity’ if they were able to reach the merits of the case. The full Court should promptly rehear this case and make clear, once and for all, that White House aides cannot ignore subpoenas from Congress,” he added.

I thought the case was mooted because Nads changed his mind on getting McGhan's testimony, in order to rush the Impeachment through the House?  Did it become less moot?

Just more proof that the best way to thwart legislation you don't like, is to conduct bogus impeachment proceedings, and bog down congresses agenda.

Hope the GOP is taking heed.  This path can be a two way street.

Appealing to the full Appeals Court was predictable, and if NadsLess loses, he'll appeal to the USSC. It's going to be perpetual shampeachment until an R becomes Speaker of the House.
