Nadler appeared to take a half step toward the podium as Rep. Adam B. Schiff cut off the CNN reporter. Im going to respond to the questions, the California Democrat and lead impeachment manager said, then turned to call on another reporter for a question on a different topic. Nadler was silent.
The exchange was one of a few moments that hint at some internal discord among House managers about the best way to present their case for impeaching President Donald Trump to the Senate as well as the American people and how to stay on that message.
The rhetorical and stylistic differences, and at times tension, between Schiff and Nadler have been on display since September. Speaker Nancy Pelosi picked Schiff, the Intelligence Committee chairman, to lead the impeachment inquiry over Nadler, the chairman of the Judiciary panel that has sole jurisdiction over drafting impeachment articles.

I like how @RepJeffries reads @realDonaldTrump because, and it's subtle, but I think he does a good job of making Trump sound as crass as he is, without doing any kind of impression.
He reads Trump at the 3rd grade level Trump writes at. It's well done.

(382 posts)Schiff is a power keg that smolders. More effective.
Like when mom used to yell at you when you got in trouble, but Dad issued solitary confinement for a week without moving a muscle. (Or could be the reverse depending on the parents temperament!)
