House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday that he expects to be named an impeachment manager by House Democrats following Wednesday's floor vote to send articles of impeachment to the Senate.
Nadler told reporters in the Capitol that he didn't know the names of lawmakers Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) plans to announce as prosecutors for the Senate impeachment trial, but when asked directly by CNN's Manu Raju if he would be named one, Nadler replied: "I'd expect so."
His comments come ahead of Wednesday's planned vote on a resolution to name the impeachment managers and send the articles of impeachment to the Senate, and following a closed-door meeting with Pelosi and other top Democrats on the caucus' plans.
"The American people will fully understand the Senate's move to begin the trial without witnesses and documents as a pure political cover-up," Pelosi said Tuesday, according to CNN. "[Senate] Leader [Mitch] McConnell and the president are afraid of more facts coming to light. The American people deserve the truth, and the Constitution demands a trial."

If true, they better get him a motorized cart or it will take weeks for him to march to the Senate.
Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down.
Lucky for Nadler, Senators only get to submit written questions.
Questions from the floor will only happen if witnesses are allowed/called.
What an honor.
It comes with a nifty certificate. And a badge.
What terrorist mayhem do the Rats have planned for America in the next several days?
Every time he tries to speak, repeatedly pound the gave and scream “you are not recognized”!!!
I figure Chief “Justice” Roberts’ handlers and tailors are already preparing a special robe, perhaps 5 stripes to outrank Rehnquist’s, and in rainbow colors.

I don’t think it matters much who the House names as Impeachment Managers. But please God don’t let Rudy Giuliani anywhere near the President’s defense team table.
This would be too good to be true.
