The chairman of the US House Judiciary Committee said Sunday that if the impeachment case against President Donald Trump were put to a jury, there “would be a guilty verdict in three minutes flat.”
Representative Jerry Nadler, whose panel will begin drawing up articles of impeachment this week, told CNN that the evidence that Trump put personal interests above those of his country in dealing with Ukraine was “rock solid.”
He did not rule out the possibility of a House vote on impeaching Trump by the end of the week.
That would put it on a fast track to a trial before the Republican-controlled Senate, where Trump is expected to prevail.

Nadler’s committee will meet Monday to begin weighing evidence compiled by the House Intelligence Committee on whether Trump linked military aid and a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky to a request that Kyiv investigate a potential 2020 rival, Democrat Joe Biden, and his son Hunter.
Nadler would not speculate on what might be included in the articles of impeachment.
But he described the central allegation as being that Trump “sought foreign interference in our elections several times, both for 2016 and 2020, and that he sought to cover it up” thus posing “a real and present danger to the integrity of the election” coming in November.
Nadler would not say whether the evidence that Russia meddled in the 2016 election, favoring Trump, would be included in the formal charges against him.
Most Republicans have stuck with Trump, saying there is no clear and direct evidence that he wrongly pressured Ukraine for personal political gain.
Representative Mark Meadows, a strong Trump supporter, said on CNN that Trump was legitimately concerned about corruption in Ukraine and had done nothing inappropriate in a much-examined phone call with Zelensky.
Not only did Meadows say he doubted any House Republican would vote to impeach, he said “I think there is more pressure on the Democrats to come along and vote to exonerate the president.”
Nadler, asked whether he felt confident that Trump personally directed improper approaches to Ukraine, replied, “Yes.”
“We have a very rock solid case. I think the case we have, if presented to a jury, would be a guilty verdict in three minutes flat.”
The White House on Friday blasted the impeachment inquiry as “completely baseless,” signaling it would not seek to defend the president in the hearings to draw up formal charges against him.
Republicans have demanded that Hunter Biden, as well as the Democratic lawmaker leading the probe, Adam Schiff, and the whistleblower at the origin of the inquiry all testify before the House committee.
Nadler has rejected those requests, saying all three people are “irrelevant” at this point.

If this hillul HaShem disappears “In 3 Minutes Flat” for good this would be a blessing for Yiden and America.
Get lost, sore looser of 2016 election, and again to be sore looser of 2020 election.
A jury of good Democrats who see nothing wrong with the Bidens accepting bribes, or Obama breaking treaty obligations (which is why the Ukranians were trying to bribe them).
3 minutes flat? Yet it takes this long for his own Democrat party to get anything done?
What a sicko that’s causing a massive chillul Hashem. May he G-d willing lose his seat.
Is Jerry short for Jerk?
That’s because the Dumbocrats would stack the jury with more dumbocrats and never trump rinos
Convicting in minutes FLAT thing a jury cant do to this corrupt, rotund individual…
Coffee addict, and the real Republicans would support Trump even if he shot someone on 5 Avenue?
I have a simple solution to this whole mess. Every 3 days the White House needs to bake a real yummy creamy chocolate cake with a vanilla icing for Mr. Nadler.
Mdd,
No
But this isn’t an impeachable offense
Just ask Alan Dershowitz and Gadolhadorah
It’s a realistic estimate as any competent judge would take 3 minutes to throw out all Schiff’s “evidence” as being hearsay
this filthy America hating marxist socialist swine,is guilty of treason and sedition, for trying to overthrow the duly elected government of the United States,this filthy DemonRat needs to be hanging from the gallows with the rest of the traitorous sewer rats like Pelosi,Schiff,Schumer,Waters etc,
if you hang this 5’2″ 450 pound slob, make sure you’ve got very sturdy rope! 🙂
Don’t forget, Nadler has hated Trump for decades. The rest of the Dems loved him until the day he came down the escalator — in fact, Bill and Hillary were invited guests to his wedding — but with Jerry it’s personal. He still hasn’t forgiven Trump for not letting him build the West Side Yards project on land that Trump owned the construction rights to, way back in the 80s.
is that fatso danny devito
