Powerful Democrat Representative Jerry Nadler was reportedly convinced the process behind the first impeachment trial of Donald Trump was "unconstitutional" and tried warning House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and fellow Rep. Adam Schiff, only to be rebuffed. He told Schiff the process is "unfair, and unfair, and unprecedented, and it's unconstitutional."
Schiff, Nadler, and Pelosi
- Schiff seemed unconcerned about potential constitutional violations of Trump’s rights during the impeachment proceedings.
- Nadler warned them that they could be violating due process rights of Trump with impeachment show trial but didn’t care
- Pelosi argued that Americans would not understand the complexity of the charges and they would have to carefully construct the narrative.
Pelosi: If Trump Complains About Due Process, We'll Ignore Him
- Pelosi's strategy to combat concerns of due process was to simply ignore them.
- Schiff argued that impeachment couldn't wait because Trump cheated in the 2016 election and Democrats couldn't afford for that to happen again.
- Nadler went from accusing Schiff of conducting things unconstitutionally to saying Senate Republicans, by not going along with the sham, were behaving in the same manner.
