Rep. Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff issued a joint statement Thursday evening accusing President Donald Trump of politicizing the Department of Justice through a criminal investigation into the origins of the Russia probe.
Nadler, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, and Schiff, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, issued a statement via Twitter: "If the Department of Justice may be used as a tool of political retribution, or to help the President with a political narrative for the next election, the rule of law will suffer new and irreparable damage."
If the Department of Justice may be used as a tool of political retribution, or to help the President with a political narrative for the next election, the rule of law will suffer new and irreparable damage.
There is no evidence that the inquiry is being used as "Political retribution," though the Times took a similar line: "The opening of a criminal investigation is likely to raise alarms that Mr. Trump is using the Justice Department to go after his perceived enemies. Mr. Trump has made clear that he sees the typically independent Justice Department as a tool to be wielded against his political enemies," it reported.
Neither Nadler nor Schiff addressed the substance of Durham's investigation.
For years, Schiff claimed that there was evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential election, but an investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller turned up none.
Nadler and Schiff did not acknowledge that their own efforts to press forward with an unauthorized "Impeachment inquiry" might be seen as creating "a political narrative for the next election," one that damages the rule of law.
