House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy tweeted out an important warning for 2019 Jerry Nadler from 2018 Jerry Nadler about impeaching Trump:

As you know, Jerry Nadler runs the House Judiciary Committee, which will be the committee to decide whether to write articles of impeachment.
Nadler says plainly in that clip above that a partisan impeachment process, where the evidence isn’t clear enough to get anyone from the other side to support impeachment, would tear the country apart.
He literally says in the clip above that if you’re going to drag the country through an impeachment process, the president needs to have committed impeachable offenses, the impeachable offenses need to be grave and the evidence needs to be crystal clear.
As Rep. Ross Spano from Florida tweeted, the answer to all three conditions are NO, NO, and NO:
No, no and no. That’s the answers to each of the questions posed here.
The only affirmative answer is that YES, this partisan #impeachment IS tearing the country apart. https://t.co/x2o6t8aXQZ

But the question is will 2019 Nadler listen to 2018 Nadler, or will he just listen to Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff and proceed with tearing this country apart?
