Adam Schiff won't say if he'll prosecute Trump in impeachment trial
The Washington Times ^ | Sunday, January 12, 2020 | Alex Swoyer

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff was mum Sunday on if he will be one of the impeachment managers presenting the case against President Trump during the Senate trial.

“I’ve told the speaker I will play whatever role that she and the caucus think will be helpful,” the California Democrat told CBS “Face the Nation.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she will meet with her caucus Tuesday morning to discuss when they will transmit the articles of impeachment to the upper chamber for the trial to begin.

Under past precedent, the Senate trial cannot begin until the articles are formally transmitted from the House.

During an interview with ABC’s “This Week,” Mrs. Pelosi did not suggest which members will be named as impeachment managers to present the charges.

I’d love to see Schiff Head squirming in the witness chair as his entire lie is exposed.

He won’t do anything because this mess is going to be dismissed.

How can a Chief Prosecutor also be a fact witness?

I might be mistaken, but isn’t his “job” done once the articles of impeachment reach the Senate?

Unless, of course, they decide to get his “testimony” I suppose...

Look at that little pencil neck.

Smallest possible collar, and it’s still loose.

Ah...I guess they have to “present” the “charges” to the Senate, so there might still be a role.

Now, that should be interesting to see how that goes down.

Who is Pelosi likely to send as impeachment managers?

Schiff did the hearings. Nadler had hearings on the constitutionality of if.

Is there anyone else that Pelosi could send?

Are there any strong democrat prosecutors in the house?

Whoever she names, get’s lots of visibility. They will also be shot down in flames.

“Pelosi has conveyed privately that she is prioritizing geographic and regional diversity among the managers” - according to a politco article titled
“democrats jostle..”

Hi.

I could be wrong, Schiff for brains has to be one of the House managers. For a couple of reasons, one he is responsible for one of the articles drafting and two, he loses immunity and can be called as a witness.

Nancy has painted herself and the ‘Rats into a corner.

That is the senates responsibility as laid out in the Constitution.

I hate these communists.

i doubt if even the rats would be stupid enough to put all of their chips on this bug-eyed, pencil-neck geek ... guys like Jim Jordan on a Trump defense team would eat this guy alive ...

He is the accuser. PDJT has the right to question him.

“Pelosi has conveyed privately that she is prioritizing geographic and regional diversity among the managers” - according to a politco article titled”

it really couldn’t get any better than that: pick your prosecutors based on gender, sexual preference, political correctness, and skin color rather than knowledge, competence, experience, mental agility, and articulateness ...

How does he obtain immunity? Impeachment managers are a dime a dozen and interchangeable.

Fact witnesses are not.

I believe “fact witness” trumps “case manager”. Otherwise, the Senate is giving the House the ability to grant immunity in a Senate trial.
