THE IMPEACHMENT MANAGERS:

Adam Schiff
Jerry Nadler
Zoe Lofgren
Hakeem Jeffries
Val Demings
Jason Crow
Sylvia Garcia

Crow and Garcia were unexpected but make sense.
SCHIFF will serve as the lead manager, per the list Pelosi’s office just sent out.
As @heatherscope and I first reported, Pelosi was prioritizing geographic diversity, which this list reflects.

Schiff/Lofgren are from CA and Nadler/Jeffries are from NY — but Demings is from FL; Crow is from CO; and Garcia is from TX.

House impeachment managers at the mics now to harangue McConnell over the rules resolution for the trial.

“This resembles nothing like the Clinton proceeding,” @RepAdamSchiff says.
@RepAdamSchiff Schiff: “If Senator McConnell makes this the first impeachment trial in history without witnesses or documents, it will not prove the president innocent; it will merely prove the Senate guilty of working with the president to obstruct the truth from coming out.”
@RepAdamSchiff Nadler: “To be debating whether you can have the evidence admitted, to be debating whether you should allow witnesses, is to be debating whether you should have a cover-up — by definition.”

NEWS: McConnell’s impeachment procedures resolution, obtained by @politico, allows:

—24 hours (but no more than 2 trial days) per side for opening arguments
—16 hours for senators’ questioning
—4-hour debate, then a vote, on whether to consider witnesses or new info
@politico *If* witnesses are called, they must first be deposed — “and the Senate shall decide after deposition which witnesses shall testify.”

Parnas & Giuliani have demolished Trump’s claims of innocence

Everyone was in the loop.

Former mafia prosecutor: It sounds like Trump associates were plotting 'a mob hit' against Marie Yovanovitch

Pompeo was aware of Yavonovitch’s ouster in February.
💣GameOn💣

EG:”Trump, Giuliani, & others arranged for a U.S. Amb to be threatened to the point of needing immediate exfiltration from the country to which she was assigned.”

“Hey Lev. VT here. We’ve got a request to talk to the big one,” Toensing said in the 4/23/19, VM msg.
💣GameOn4💣

“So I just wanted to get the latest from you, if I could.”

The timing of the Toensing VM coincides w/ a flurry of activity re Yovanovitch’s ouster.

Exfiltrated 4/24

Pence was tasked with getting a commitment from Zelensky that he will announce an inv’n into Biden.

Pelosi Names Impeachment Managers, Adam Schiff to Lead in Senate Trial - 5 of Seven from NY and California... TRUMP Responds! thegatewaypundit.com/2020/01/pelosi…
ThanQ Patriot @GOPLeader
The reason for this impeachment is the same reason it has taken Democrats 30 days to send the articles to the Senate—SPITE. They want to stain President Trump’s record without giving him a fair chance to clear his name.

The Senate cannot allow this partisan, half-baked impeachment to stand.

Doing so will have dire consequences, and every president will be vulnerable to the whims of the House

At the moment, I am perched high above the House floor where a small group of spectators have already taken their seats to watch today's vote to formally transmit the articles of #impeachment from the House to the Senate.
I'll have the coverage for @CourthouseNews. Stay tuned!
@CourthouseNews Lawmakers are trickling into the chamber and I spy with my little eye, a group of newly-minted impeachment managers: Schiff, Jeffries, Demings....
@CourthouseNews Speaker Pelosi, donning a bright coral-hued ensemble, has entered the chamber & is seated next to Schiff. A friendly convo appears to be unfolding between the Speaker, Schiff, Demings and I believe that is Sylvia Garcia (her face is turned away, I can't get a great look at her)

It's time I had my say about #Impeachment, DJT's obstructionistic tactics, and @SpeakerPelosi's not pushing for an inquiry yet.

When AG Barr released the redacted version of the report to Congress, he did *not* include any of the underlying documents on which Mueller relied.

1/
Just like a lawsuit, a case has to be built based on facts and evidence. Both the Intelligence Committee and the Judiciary Committee have been working their way through the system, including voting to hold AG Barr in Contempt of Congress. DJT has been fighting them in court.

2/
Meanwhile, the Ways and Means Committee has also been working on getting DJT's tax returns. One of the Committees has also been working on getting records subpoenaed from DJT's financial management firm and from Deutche Bank, known for Russian money laundering.
