‘Trump’s worst nightmare’: Impeachment managers praised for having ‘boss energy’
Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday announced the impeachment managers who will prosecute the case against President Donald Trump in the upcoming Senate trial during a Capitol Hill press conference.
House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) will be the lead impeachment manager, his assistants will be House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), House Democratic Caucus chairman Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and Reps. Jason Crow (D-CO), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Sylvia Garcia (D-TX), and Val Demings (D-FL).
Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe, who has reportedly advised House Democrats, praised the selections.
“The seven managers Speaker Pelosi has named are perfectly suited to prosecute the case to convict and remove President Trump for the ‘high Crimes and Misdemeanors’ of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress,” Tribe posted on Twitter.
Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner said the choices gave him “goosebumps.”
“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,” he posted.
Here is some of what others were saying:
Fantastic lineup! I'm a huge fan of Val Demings. A little disappointed that Jamie Raskin isn't included.

Yep – thought the same thing – very intentional & all very deserving – and a stark contrast against who they will be facing.

Pelosi said she chose litigators who were comfortable in a courtroom setting. #ImpeachmentTrial #HouseManagers

Looks great. I wish Katie Porter had a spot. She's the Kamala Harris of the House.

Val Demings, a relatively junior member of Congress from Florida who had been a police chief, has become a respected questioner on both the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees https://t.co/VNdQEk6iQT

I have enormous respect for the seven managers @SpeakerPelosi has chosen, but I hope they will seek input and advice from Rep. @jamie_raskin and @RepSwalwell , both of whom are extremely smart and have great insight and judgement. @tedlieu and @RepJayapal too should be consulted https://t.co/abYLHN7adg

Hakeem Jeffries has emerged as one of the Democrats’ top messaging lieutenants, and is regarded by many Democrats as poised to become the first black speaker of the House when Nancy Pelosi steps aside https://t.co/Y5iCxlQPss

Jerrold Nadler, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, provided the legal and constitutional case that President Trump’s misconduct rose to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors. He is likely to play a similar role in the Senate’s proceeding. https://t.co/TAssUkgFm2

Trump blasted for ‘avalanche of lying’ in brutal takedown by CNN fact-checker
CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale provided a brutal dose of reality after President Donald Trump constantly mislead Americans with his false claims during the first 2020 general election presidential debate.
CNN's Wolf Blitzer introduced Dale by recapping that, in his opinion, "clearly this debate was an embarrassment for the United States of America -- a clear embarrassment."
"How much was fact?" Blitzer asked. "How much was false?"
"Well, it depended Wolf on who we were listening to," Dale replied.
"I think it's important for us as journalists to say when both sides are not alike -- and they were not alike tonight," he explained.

Jake Tapper stunned by Trump’s debate: ‘That was a hot mess inside a dumpster fire inside a train wreck’
CNN Jake Tapper reacted in shock on Tuesday following the first presidential debate between Democratic nominee Joe Biden and President Donald Trump.
"That was a hot mess inside a dumpster fire inside a train wreck," Tapper said. "That was the worst debate I have ever seen. In fact, it wasn't even a debate. It was a disgrace."
"And it's primarily because of President Trump," he remarked, "who spent the entire time interrupting, not abiding by the rules that he agreed to, lying, maliciously attacking the son of the vice president. When asked to condemn white supremacists, he brought up the name of a neo-fascist, far-right group and said, 'Stand back and stand by.'"
