Pelosi names impeachment managers
By Olivia Beavers and Mike Lillis - 01/15/20 10:15 AM EST
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tapped seven impeachment managers on Tuesday, ending weeks of speculation over who in the House will step into the political spotlight and make the case to impeach President Trump before the Senate.
Some members who the Speaker tapped were considered shoo-ins, including Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), who both had leadership roles during the impeachment inquiry into Trump’s contacts with Ukraine.
Others picked for the high-profile role of managers include Democratic Reps. Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.), Zoe Lofgren (Calif.), Val Demings (Fla.), Sylvia Garcia (Texas), and Jason Crow (Colo.).

She is doing this so that Shiffty and goNads can't be called as witnesses.

Good grief. Her public statement was one hot mess.

Speaker Pelosi's statement that "time has been our friend" is bizarre. The new evidence and witnesses could have been part of the record with actual testimony and discovery by the House. Instead, she did nothing for 4 weeks and hoped for the tide to bring flotsam wreckage.

What's next? Later today, the House will vote on approving the managers and on sending the two articles of impeachment to the Senate.

I see the Democrats' "urgency" talking point has returned... after they sat on their own impeachment articles for 4 weeks.

Nancy Pelosi says "The American voter should decide who our president is" at the same time she is trying to overturn the will of the American people in 2016
And she's STILL spreading Russia "collusion" conspiracy theories!
Why? Because they're scared how we'll vote again!
