Gillibrand to speak w/Conyers & Nadler re: Impeachment Hearings

“The administration has stifled all discussion,” the congresswoman said. “What has to happen are contempt hearings. Investigations take time. I have no doubt the chairmen will pursue these investigations. Some resolutions are not worded well and I don’t support them. There need to be contempt hearings because there’s resistance to producing evidence.”

The chairmen she was referring to were U.S. Rep. John Conyers of Michigan , chair of the House Judiciary Committee, and U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York, chair of the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Subcommittee, both Democrats. Neither has allowed H Res 799 or H Res 333, the articles of impeachment against Cheney, to be discussed.

Following the meeting, Gillibrand told McCabe she was “shocked” that Nadler, who she considers “very progressive,” was blocking this, and promised to talk to both him and Conyers about the issue.
