Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, Rep. Jerry Nadler declared that Attorney General William Barr should be impeached, but won’t be because the GOP-controlled Senate is “corrupt against the interest of the country.”
Asked if he thought Democrat calls for Barr’s impeachment are premature, Nadler replied, “No. I don’t think calls for impeachment are premature, any more than the calls for the president’s impeachment are immature. But they are a waste of time at this point because we do know we have a corrupt Senate, which will not consider the evidence and the facts. So we’re instead going to do what we have to do without that. And including barring $50 million from his own personal budget.”
Asked if he was calling every Senate Republican who voted to acquit President Trump corrupt, Nadler answered, “I think in the sense of being corrupt against the interest of the country, yes.”
By “against the interest of the country,” Nadler means “against the interest of the Democrat Party.”
