Judge denies Nadler's request for McGahn's testimony inre impeachment

A D.C. federal judge on Wednesday shot down an attempt by House Judiciary Committee Democrats to link their subpoena for former White House counsel Don McGahn to a separate request for secret grand jury information from the Russia investigation after the Justice Department accused them of trying to "game the system."
Normally cases are assigned to judges randomly, which the DOJ said is meant to keep parties from “attempting to game the system” by “shopping” for a judge they like. But in a Tuesday court filing, the department alleged the Democrat-controlled committee was trying to do exactly that by exploiting an exception that allows “related” cases to be heard by the same judge. In this case, the DOJ said the panel improperly sought to connect the McGahn case to the grand jury case simply because they're both part of their investigation of President Trump.
"[A]t first blush, the House Judiciary Committee's view that the related case rule applies is understandable," D.C. District Court Chief Judge Beryl Howell wrote in her order rejecting the bid. "Nonetheless, closer examination demonstrates that these connections between the two cases are too superficial and attenuated for the instant McGahn Subpoena Case to qualify[.]"
at Nadler. He'll probably go have a couple of pizzas to soothe his pain.

Nadler is the messenger. This is all concocted by lawfare to try to bring Trump down via weasel deep state lawyers and complicit judges. Everyone involved deserves to go down.

A little surprising the judge was appointed by Obama in 2010. Maybe she's now woke.

That’s not what the article says.
This is about which judge will hear the McGahn matter.
