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, whos been the partys point man for the Senate trial.
Mr. Schiff stood to answer, but Mr. Nadler was already in place, and unloaded on senators and the presidents 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 MSNBCs Rachel Maddow, who highlighted Mr. Nadlers 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. Nadlers 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.

We’ve got our condign punishment. Lock Nadler and Schiff in the same cell in Gitmo. It rises to the level of classical mythology.

Maxine Waters and others will have new charges within a couple of months.
These Democrats are a diseased organism on this country.
They all need to be exterminated.
The answer Nadler gave to the final question is the real story. It was funny to see Schiff try and call Jerry back.
But the answer was an absolute disaster as Nadler goes into a rant about 10 year olds know there are witnesses at a trial.
The Dem senators hoping to peel of a couple more R for a vote on witnesses had to be thrilled with that. Epic fail.
Are you kidding, there aint no rack with 88x28

Maybe he can start wearing some Hillary garb.

Agree with everything you said, except I think Waters and the other Dems will have new accusations and charges in weeks or even days.
_______________
Indeed.
That is what they do ...... and as long as the media is as dishonest as it is these days ..... little will change.

I never saw that last (full) answer.
Yeah Nadler has helped solidify the republicans. He is a nasty petty man. He has hated Trump for forty years now. Every night before he sleeps. ...he sticks needles in his stupid little Trump doll praying for harm to come to Trump. .lol
Nadler ran? Waddled maybe.

LOL. I actually agree with you. I was just trying to be optimistic.

Just proves Rush’s point:
Politics is “Hollywood” for the ugly.
Dehydration. I’ve had episodes like that, particularly in the summer after working outside. I used to do construction work in New Orleans, and it was critical that we stayed hydrated. It’s pretty scary to be on a roof and suddenly lose your equilibrium because of dehydration.
Dehydration....so that’s what happened to him. Boy did he look bad. ....
Keep hydrated. ...don’t forget the salt. ..
That is the most enraging facial expression I have ever seen my life, let me tell you.
I’ll stop right there too, because it is not wise for me to continue!
Nadler hasn’t moved that fast since last call at the buffet.
I can’t find a link or video that shows the full text of nadler’s answer. I’m sure it was informative. Does someone
have a link that includes his complete bloviating?
My spell correct works differently than yours. :)
Schiff has egg on his face, and as Pelosi would say, it’s forever. And Nadler is licking the egg off his face like the “Mayhem” guy pretending to be a dog licking the car drivers face.
