Criticism punctuates Nadler's leadership of Trump probe


BY OLIVIA BEAVERS AND SCOTT WONG - 06/10/19 06:00 AM EDT

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler is pressing forward Monday with the first of several hearings into the Mueller report. But that’s done little to appease a small faction of fellow Democrats frustrated with his overall strategy dealing with a recalcitrant Trump administration.

Everyone concedes Nadler (D-N.Y.) is in an almost-impossible spot as he battles President Trump on multiple fronts, coordinates with Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s leadership team and contends with the growing chorus of Democrats on his own panel demanding impeachment.

But some Nadler critics, who call Judiciary the “tip of the spear” of Democrats’ probes into the administration, say he’s failed to lay out a broad strategy and proven to be ineffective — at least so far — when it comes to landing a convincing blow against Trump.

Nadler’s response to the Mueller report has been sloppy, disorganized, too heavy handed in some instances, not tough enough in others, critics say. And some of his committee members say communication with them has not been great.

Jerry Nadler is doing exactly what Speaker Pelosi wants him to do. You can't catch the fox with the hound locked up in his cage, release the hound Speaker.
