Impeachment backfire? Key GOP senator ‘offended’ by Nadler charge, as trial tests patience and stamina
Fox News ^ | 1/29/20 | y Brooke Singman

House Democrats' handling of the Trump impeachment to date may be turning off Republicans -- notably, those seen as possible defectors in a final vote.

The first sign of a backlash among that critical group came Wednesday when Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, a moderate member of the conference, said she was offended by House manager Rep. Jerrold Nadler’s assertion that GOP members voting against allowing new testimony and evidence were engaged in a “cover-up.”

“I took it as offensive,” she told reporters Wednesday. “As one who is listening attentively and working hard to get to a fair process, I was offended.”

I saw Nadler last night on “My 600 pound life” he went from 900 pounds to 441 very impressive

Really ANXIOUS tomorrow to watch the President at the March for Life, with hundreds of thousands of people watching, AND NO ONE IS AROUND TO WATCH THE STUPID IMPEACHMENT proceedings. Wow, I heard my mother make mention about beating a dead horse with a stick, these Democrats are REALLY making this adage a modern reality.

He’ll feel better when he’s down to 250.
I’ll feel better when he’s down to about 4.

Their offense, hopefully irredeemable, is to Shakespeare, who wrote, “Brevity is the soul of wit.”

For such a short piece of dog crap, he is one nasty, obnoxious, petty semi-human being.

When he was obese, he was bad, but since he has had his guts ripped out, he is even worse.

For Pete’s sake, don’t attack people when they’re actually being supportive. What’s the incentive for them to change?

its Lawyering 101 to be respectful to the tribunal before which you are appearing. Pissing off these who have power over you is textbook foolish.

Imagine if the Democrats wanted four people to talk.

Imagine also a rich Democrat such as Bloomberg with $7.5 million to spare.

Have the rich Democrat give $4 million to the first person to answer the questions of say Chris Cuomo of CNN.

Have the rich Democrat give $2 million to the second person...

Have the rich Democrat give $1 million to the third person...

Have the rich Democrat give $500,000 to the fourth person...

I would bet Nadler has had very significant experience with “backfire”.

If you can’t make a case on one page of paper, you have no case.

When you lose the GOP weak sister then it’s a drama with the Rats.
They need to send in DiFi to get weak sister in the corral again.

Upon further analysis, Nadler has been identified as the “backfire”.

The arrogance of the House is galling, they are talking to the Senate like they are their superiors. I hope that the Senate take note and reject them accordingly.

I wonder what she thought of Schiff saying that those that vote against them should go to jail. Jailing GOP Senators probably won’t go over big. https://www.lucianne.com/2020/01/23/adam_schiff_jokes_that_senators_facebr_prison_if_they_disrupt_impeachment_trial_25594.html
