'I'm not going to take any sh--': Nadler girds for battle

[link:https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/03/nadler-judiciary-impeachment-074985|

The Judiciary Committee chairman is ready for the scrutiny that's coming as he takes the reins of the impeachment inquiry.

By HEATHER CAYGLE and SARAH FERRIS 12/03/2019 06:29 PM EST

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler had a blunt message as he privately addressed Democrats the day before his panel assumes a starring role in the impeachment inquiry.

“I’m not going to take any shit,” Nadler said in a closed-door prep session Tuesday morning — a rare cuss word from the lawyerly Manhattan Democrat that prompted some lawmakers to sit up in their chairs, according to multiple people in the room.

Nadler’s warning shot referred to likely GOP antics to try to undermine the first impeachment hearing in the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. But it wasn’t lost on Democrats that Nadler’s message could also apply to those in his own party who have closely scrutinized his role in the House's impeachment probe.

He needs to take a cue from Schiff and not put up with any of Doug’s bullshit.

No need to worry.

I have confidence that Speaker Pelosi, Chairman Schiff and Chairman Nadler are well-coordinated.

There were times when Nunes was spewing his drivel that
I was so impressed that he kept his cool.
Instead of laughing out loud. I especially liked it when Nunes used the
term "magic minutes". When he was done, Schiff said, "Well I'm
going to use some of my "magic minutes" right now" (approx.)

....sense of humor (as you point out with the "magic minutes&quot , Nadler is a bit dryer than that.

Use that muthafukka when---not if but WHEN--thuglicans try to talk through and gum The House Judiciary Committee Hearing tomorrow. Hopefully, it will be another nail in fascist fatso's, treasonous, russian-made coffin.
