Tensions within House Democrats’ impeachment team appeared to boil over onto the Senate floor Thursday night as Rep. Jerrold Nadler ran to the lectern to deliver the final answer of the night, pushing by Rep. Adam Schiff, who’s been the party’s point man for the Senate trial.
Mr. Schiff stood to answer, but Mr. Nadler was already in place, and unloaded on senators and the president’s defense team, calling their arguments “nonsense” and “absurd.”
“This is a trial,” he said. “As any 10-year-old knows, we should have witnesses.”
The move to displace Mr. Schiff set Twitter afire, and drew the attention of MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, who highlighted Mr. Nadler’s bogarting of the spotlight. Mr. Schiff could be heard saying “Jerry… Jerry… Jerry…” as Mr. Nadler ran past him to take the lectern.
During the last two weeks of the Senate trial, Mr. Schiff has been first chair for Democrats, handling most of the questions — which made Mr. Nadler’s power move late Thursday so striking.
Mr. Nadler may have been repaying Mr. Schiff. Last week, during a press conference, a question was directed at Mr. Nadler, who started to move to the lectern, but Mr. Schiff said he would answer instead. Roll Call called said the moment hinted at “some internal discord” within the House impeachment team.

Schiffty: "Jerry, ..... Jerry, Jerry .............. Jerry!"
off the rack
Are you kidding, there ain’t no rack with 88x28

He really does manage to capture Schiff's essence. Those bits have been priceless on Gutfeld's show.
There were 18 witnesses. Why is Schiff suppressing the testimony of the 18th?
Fake news at best!!!..if anything he "waddled" past him......(see videos)
“This is a trial,”
Notice, the democrats use that line ONLY when they call for additional witnesses.
Otherwise, they claim, impeachment does not require a crime, which is what a trial is all about — determining guilt or innocence in violating a law code.
“Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”.
The Constitution specifies “other high Crimes and Misdeameanors — the word OTHER limits and confines the impeachment offenses solely to CRIMES.

He sure wasn't moving like K.C.'s Damien Williams.

Our forefathers would be more than disappointed that the lust for power is greater than working for WE THE PEOPLE.
Clearly a sprint. /s
Schiff playing the part of Juliet. ..
...... O impeachment, impeachment, wherefore art thou? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. ....else forever more I live in shame.....
The Nadler-Schiff Hour is coming to a sad end. “Peachment Farce: Part Deux” soon to follow.
That is a great movie. ...fits perfectly here.
The talking head from MSNBC called Nadler a “constitutional scholar “..... What? Really? Msnbc. ..the place where the stupid people go for jobs. ...a disgrace
Nadler ran to the lectern to deliver the final answer......
It is hard to describe Nadler as “running”. A better term would be LUMBERED,MAYBE CRASHED, OOZED, SLITHERED, ANYTHING BUT RAN
Nads having a breakdown. ..stroke?....on TV. ..

I know there is a Ruth Ginsburg “action figure.” Will the company make a Jerry Nadler “action figure?”
Makes me think of women fighting for the bouquet at a wedding. .lol
I would turn the President’s team’s defense on its head. The articles of impeachment brought by the house are, indeed, grounds for impeachment. Every single item argued by the House managers has been an outright gaslighting. In every instance the House managers have described the actions of their own party in their efforts to bring down the President. Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress are both crimes the Democrat party has committed in their relentless zeal to destroy Donald J. Trump. They are guilty and stand accused by their own words of High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Image those two fools during the Constitutional Convention. They would have been run out of town on a rail...
