House Democrats face multiple challenges as they prepare to argue for Trump’s removal

The House Democrats who will make the case for President Trump’s removal from office face a rapid briefing schedule and uncertain trial rules before squaring off against Trump’s defense team on Tuesday for the first time in their four-month investigation.

The seven impeachment managers face multiple challenges as they take their case out of the confines of the House and into the Republican-controlled Senate. For one, they are facing a skeptical, if not openly hostile, jury in the 53-seat GOP majority that will be able to set the rules of engagement for the trial.

While Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has indicated that he plans to use the 21-day trial of President Bill Clinton in 1999 as a model, he has yet to detail the rules for the Trump trial....

Schiff has exhibited a mastery of the facts of the impeachment case — delivering, on several occasions, lengthy extemporaneous speeches attacking Trump’s fitness for office.

Its not going anywhere. This was the Democrat impeachment. They voted for it and they own it.

And they have no case at least not one where the facts matter. Trump will walk and they know it.

President Trump sent the aid, and the Ukrainians didn't have to investigate Biden to get it.

The democrat's job is clearly to convince the Senate to remove President Trump for something that didn't happen.

Several Democrats said this week that the prosecution has been somewhat hamstrung by not knowing the thrust of Trump’s defense.

Poor babies...did nobody on Trump’s side leak their defense strategy? Sheesh...what whiners.

"Schiff has exhibited a mastery of the facts of the impeachment case "

In fact, Schiff lies, Schiff lied, and was involved
in child trafficking and murder.
This should not end well for HIM.

Their biggest challenge is that there aren’t three brain cells among the impeachment (mis)managers.

No business is going to get done as long as the Senate sits as a trial court.

Its their own fault. Since they refused to permit challenges to their accusations, they deprived themselves of anything to defend themselves and their accusations. So, now they are flying blindly into battle.

The Washington Democrat Rag will continue to be as unbiased as Schumer.

Folks, it also looks like the Democrat Party, DC Women’s March scheduled for today across the country is an absolute total failure...no one is there except the radical hate America nutcase females.

”Trump will walk and they know it.”

Probably. But we should never underestimate the Republicans’ willingness to throw a fight.

They said the same after the “Civil” War but, like zombies, they’re back.

Adam piece of Schitt has a mastery over his lies about the case and wouldn't know a fact if it kicked him in the bare spot where his balls should be. Schitt is the one who isn't fit for office. He's a corrupt scumbag who is butt buddies with perverted murderer Ed Buck. Schitt is a lowlife who isn't good enough to shine president Trump's shoes.
