Criticism punctuates Nadler's leadership of Trump probe

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler is pressing forward Monday with the first of several hearings into the Mueller report. But thats 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 Pelosis 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 hes 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.
Nadlers 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.
