Adam Schiff rebuked Republican senators for walking out of Donald Trump's impeachment trial on the second full day of the Democratic case to remove the president but at least 16 senators werent even there at the start of his remarks for the historic trial.
Just minutes later, fellow Democratic impeachment manager Rep. Jerry Nadler made a key constitutional point by playing a video clip from Sen. Lindsey Graham from the impeachment of Bill Clinton but Graham was not even in the chamber to hear it.
The moment was noticeable inside the august Senate chamber, and was not lost on Senate GOP conference chair John Barrasso, who sits next to Graham. As other senators looked toward TV screens to see Graham himself a former impeachment manager in 1999 Barrasso looked sheepishly upward, placing his hand over the empty chair.
Luckily for Graham and tardy lawmakers, their absence and movements was not visible to the wider public. Senate rules prevent C-Span or other networks from photography inside the chamber, and the Senate Sergeant At Arms controls the fixed camera feet blasted out to the viewing public. It shows only the speaker, be it Schiff or Nadler, speaking in the well of the chamber with a marble background.

I got to hand it to these guys, I could not sit there and listen to Pencil Deck and Nadless drone on and on.

The only one missing is Pelosi herself, threatening them!

She knows her time is up. She wont be Majority Leader whether Dems or GOP has the majority next session. In fact, I doubt that she will even run.
To judge from the clips on Hannity last night, Schiff was very repetitive...who needs to hear him repeat the same lies over and over?
Nadler? Nadler? Isn't he the one who said this during the XXX-42 impeachment?
"There must never be a narrowly voted impeachment or an impeachment substantially supported by one of our major political parties and largely opposed by the other. Such an impeachment would lack the legitimacy and produce divisiveness and bitterness in our politics for years to come,"Hopefully the Republicans have the courage to play that video like Nadler did against Graham.
schiff as wile e coyote
I've never thought conviction was in the cards. One hundred senators went in there with their minds made up, and this dog-and-pony show isn't going to change anyone.
Thank You, Pappy. LOL!
