Jerry: "Alright Mr. Roberts, I'm ready for my closeup."
Posted on 01/31/2020 2:05:50 AM PST by a little elbow grease
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.

Schiff .... a paranoid narcissist wannabe actor who makes up conversations and says the people can’t be trusted to pick the next President.
DJT is getting everything done he promised and Schiff hates him. So do Pelosi and Nadler.
What a crowd!

.... and he was pissed.
Nadler is not about to let anyone HOG anything. Be it food, the spotlight...nothing. Shifty never stood a chance.
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, you had 18 witnesses.
If it’s a trial, there is a presumption of innocence for the defendant.
If it’s a trial, the normal rule’s regarding evidence apply, and there is no case for a guilty verdict.

Jerry looked like the wiliest man from New York's 10th.
He grabbed that mike fast and started talking.
A great moment in Democrat congressional history.

Foreshadowing from ThePolitico.com )
"House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler had a blunt message as he privately addressed Democrats the day before his panel assumes a starring role in the impeachment inquiry."
"“I’m not going to take any shit,” Nadler said in a closed-door prep session Tuesday morning — a rare cuss word from the lawyerly Manhattan Democrat that prompted some lawmakers to sit up in their chairs, according to multiple people in the room."
****
....... tough guy.
