The House will finally be sending over the articles of impeachment to the Senate. This morning Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced the House managers to present the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate. Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Jerry Nadler (D-NY) are included in the list of Democrats who will be presenting the case for impeachment to the Senate. See the Full list at the end of the article.
Adam Schiff has played a very large roll in the entire impeachment. The whistleblower who reported a phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukranian President Zelensky met with Schiff’s staff before filing the complaint. Schiff also read a parody of the phone call into the record of a House DNI hearing on a whistleblower complaint. Schiff has been pushing hard against the President since he took office.
Jerry Nadler, Democrat Congressman from New York, who was staunchly against partisan impeachment in the 90s, voted for both articles of impeachment of President Donald Trump. Only Democrats voted for the articles of impeachment with some democrats voting Nah and one voting present. Making only the dissent bipartisan.
Later today the house will vote on sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate. These are the managers House Democrats have selected to prosecute/present the case in the Senate:
- Adam Schiff (D-CA)
- Jerry Nadler (D-NY)
- Zoe Lofgren (D-CA)
- Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)
- Val Demmings (D-FL)
- Jason Crow (D-CO)
- Sylvia Garcia(D-TX)

In response to the House naming Adam Schiff as their lead impeachment manager, the Senate should pass a resolution condemning Schiff for his false statements about @DevinNunes and recommending his expulsion from the House

The House “Managers” Speaker Pelosi just named – essentially the prosecutors for the Senate impeachment trial – LOOK LIKE AMERICA! Listening to Speaker Pelosi, I got patriotic goosebumps. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

.@SpeakerPelosi tapped two of the circus ringleaders as impeachment managers.@RepAdamSchiff: the proven, habitual liar who instigated this entire scam.@RepJerryNadler: who either can’t control his own committee or doesn’t know or care about the rules of the House.

Pelosi says that focus for picking team was litigation experience and “comfort” in a courtroom
You can see the full video below from Fox News where Pelosi stammers her way through the announcement, and then other Democrats follow up with their bitter statements against President Trump. Democrats have claimed this is not political and that impeachment of President Trump should be bipartisan, although no Republicans in the House voted for it, and you can practically see their disdain for President Trump shining through in their statements, but that’s up to you to decide what you think ultimately:
