Shorts: What a Watergate Document Can Teach the House Judiciary Committee

While researching the Watergate Road Map , Benjamin Wittes discovered a letter written by the then-Chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary Peter Rodino to the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. In the letter, Rodino requested that any material relevant to the House’s impeachment inquiry be transferred to his committee. This morning, Wittes analyzed in a Lawfare article how the letter could instruct current Chairman of the Judiciary Committee Jerry Nadler on what steps he can take to ensure his committee properly executes its constitutional obligation. In the latest edition of the Lawfare Podcast Shorts , you can listen to that article in-full, read by the author. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare . Hosted on Acast.
