So, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee (HJC), fresh off his committee’s disastrous session with Robert Mueller, has announced his intent to obtain access to the secret grand jury testimony taken during the Mueller investigation. It matters not that Mueller concluded there was insufficient evidence to bring charges against President Trump; he and his entire two-year investigation are now being disowned by ardent Democrats dead set on impeaching the president. Nadler’s hope is to uncover some testimony, however remote, that he can claim as the basis for an impeachment initiative.
It is settled law, at least within the District of Columbia circuit,

It is no surprise that the democRATs in general and 'No-nads' Nadler in particular feel that the secrecy requirement of grand jury testimony is irrelevant especially since that legal hurdle stands in the way of their goal to impeach PDJT. After all the left considers all laws to be mere inconveniences.
If the GJ testimony is released to Nadler's committee even under the threat that maximum secrecy be maintained, it may as well be released to the internet. There will be an unredacted leak of part or all of the documents. I can only hope that the conditions under which the GJ testimony is given to the leftists include a provision that any GJ witness who becomes known due to the release, has the right to sue 'No-nads' and any and all leftists involved to the point of poverty. IMHO the death sentence would also be appropriate but that may not make the cut.

Hopefully indictments and damning documents soon start to overwhelm this fat toad and he'll be playing defense until they get blown out in the next election.

I thought Grand Jury testimony was supposed to be kept secret. If so, it does not surprise me that Nadler and has cabal of lawless and corrupt democrats are insisting to see it. It goes to show the depth of the depraved hatred that these democrats have for this President. Nadler is the Captain Ahab of the House of Representatives.

As was attempted by the dims during the Watergate grand jury investigation of the 1970s , No Nads will recruit a mole, possibly an msm operative, to infiltrate the grand jury that was seated for Muellie's investigation. By getting some of their names, No Nads mole will try to find and interview them and pry any inside scoop he can get from them that will damage the President. Such is burning hate within today's typical liberal.

There is a huge difference today than was in 1974. We have a strong and decisive Attorney General, a fighting mad President and a good share of the people in this country who love this president. Nixon, regardless of what a good President he was, was not a likable man. He was a scary dude who dripped intrigue, superiority, and secrecy. He seemed humorless and petty. There was nothing grandiose about Nixon. So, nothing really that people could say to get behind him. Even so, he damned near survived the Democratic push to oust him even with their crooked journalism and court corruption.

Nadless is still looking for a unicorn in a manure pile. Such a search is messy and difficult but doomed to failure; not only because it's a huge, smelly pile but because the object of his desperate search is fictional. A functional media would have ridiculed this clown into oblivion by now but there are enough people in media as desperate as Jerry who cannot bring themselves to give up. It would negate their existence. What would life be without a reason to hate Trump?

There must be something in there to get him, I know he's guilty, keep digging. Or it could be in his tax returns, maybe on a grocery list from 2002, can we find that? Keep diiiiggggggging!

What Nadless fails to understand, because of stupidity or derangement, is that impeachment, with or without grand jury testimony, wouldn't get President Trump thrown out of office. There is nothing there.
People are tired of democrat obstruction and resistance. People are jaded against the democrats. People have tuned out the democrats and their media's constant drumbeat against President Trump. It is just background noise now, that isn't even heard. People skip news stories about it. They change the channel when liberal talking heads get on the subject.
Grand jury testimony didn't help Weissman, Mueller, or any of the other people championing the investigation, so there is nothing there to help Nadless. He knows he won't get it, so he thinks making noise about it will help him. He, and the democrats, already have the deranged, radical left. They are not going to win over any Republicans, libertarians or independents with this time and money wasting abuse of office.

I guess this isn't what 'Leaky" Leahy was talking about when he railed on about not following the rules!

What are they so frightened about what we may find out if Trump stays in office?

Grand jury proceedings are secret for a reason. Just as the Electoral College is in place for a reason. But neither serves Nadler, so he'll do away with them both.

Mueller, Nadler and the rest have absolutely no idea how their actions are going to trickle down to the local DA offices. Where they can be used by a political and ambitious DA to further his own career. Being a bully, ignoring proper law like these two is going to have grave and unintended consequences down the line. It always does, but hey, that is the democrat party. if we cannot keep a deal with people who testify under the promise of secrecy, who on earth would those folks bother to testify? Nadless is going to get people killed and like Ahab chasing the whale, he doesn't care.

Fat Jerry boy's obsession with impeachment is not good his heart. Stress is a widow maker, Jerry. Also tell us about your military service, Jerry.

Nadler's left eyebrow looks like a caterpillar crawling up to his forehead when he speaks. It must be like Pinocchio's nose growing when telling a lie.
