WASHINGTON — Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Wednesday that two House chairmen who led President Donald Trump's impeachment inquiry will be among the House prosecutors for Trump's Senate trial. They are Democrats Rep. Adam Schiff, chair of the Intelligence Committee, and Rep. Jerry Nadler, chair of the Judiciary Committee. Trump was impeached by the Democratic-led House last month on charges of abuse of power over his pressure on Ukraine to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden as Trump withheld aid from the country. He was also charged with obstructing Congress’ ensuing probe.

This is basically a non-news article. No house mangers have officially been announcement as yet. Everything else is just re-hash.

My guess is that liddle Schiff knew he had to be an impeachment manager from the start, as part of the deal with NAnZI when he came up with his half baked idea. He pushed her to hold the articles in hopes that in time the senate would allow him to run rough shod, or at least get some form of understanding that he would be in charge of calling ALL witnesses for defense and prosecution. That failed. Watch liddle Adam try to justify not being called as a witness because he is a manager. He will also deny the whistle blower from testifying (he has to - or, muh Perjury) to protect said whistle blower who cannot be named. Perhaps a delay until the Supreme Court rules on that? Sounds like liddle Adam, doesn't it?

Can they keep adding unproven stuff once the articles of impeachment have been turned over to the senate?
If this is allowed then they can keep making things up and toss it in the mix. Therefore the trial will never end. Do you really think Trump will be allowed to call on his own witnesses. Dems will scream McConnell is siding with the president so he is biased.

A serious tactical mistake by Pelosi. I can't imagine two worse House Democrats to put in front of the Senate process. Their arrogance and sliminess will not be well received by senators, who already view the House as the "junior chamber" of Congress. Their imperious attitude is going to get serious blowback from the senators. Even the oleaginous Chuck Schumer isn'y going to be able to cover for them.

Which RINO, Romney, Collins, Murkowski, Blount, Lee, Rubio or Alexander will prove to be the biggest cheerleader for Schiff and Nadless? I bet this is gonna be one heck of a pillow fight between RINOs for Nadless, Schiff and Naci Piglosi's favor.

Schiff-for-brains is a pathological liar who won't have the confines of his basement star chamber to protect him him from his dishonesty. Jerrold the Hutt is incompetent. I can't wait for the likes of Senators Kennedy and Graham to make mincemeat out of these two buffoons.

She did this to try to keep them from being called as witnesses under oath.

If this keeps Schiff and Nadler from being called as witnesses then the Republicans will have to put Nancy in the box in their place. I gotta see that.

Nancy needs to stop going to Lawfare for advice. They are not serving her well. President Trump, please hold a rally every day so I have something worthwhile to watch on TV.

The only two bigger boobs would be if they hired Stormy Daniels. I’d rather have them in the stand and under oath.

Who would have ever thunk that Pelosi would name Nadler and Schiff as her impeachment managers? That is really “Bombshell” news!

Once again, Pelosi chooses her best and brightest. If McConnell & Co. had any nads they would refuse to comply with the wicked witch, choose their own lawyers to speak and shut this sham down.

The Senate controls every single aspect of the trial. Nancy Pelosi has nothing to say about the trial, nothing at all.The title is laughable.

I wonder what will happen when the Republicans call Adam Schiff to testify....will he get to cross-examine himself?? This is going to be the biggest farce of all time, recent event notwithstanding. Popcorn time!
