Jan. 15, 2020, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement in response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) appointment of U.S. Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) to head the House impeachment managers:
“Speaker Pelosi’s decision to appoint Reps. Adam Schiff and Jerrold Nadler to head the House impeachment management team demonstrates clearly that the Senate will hear nothing more than hearsay and presumptions against President Donald Trump. Schiff’s history of lying throughout the entirety of the Russiagate investigation, combined with his unscrupulous handling of the impeachment inquiry, should solidify resolve in the Senate to bend over backwards to allow President Trump to present his case. Nadler pronounced before Nancy Pelosi even became Speaker that Democrats were going to impeach President Trump, showing clearly that this fraudulent impeachment was a foregone conclusion with the House merely filling in the blanks for the Articles of Impeachment.
“With a Senate trial likely to start next week the pubic needs to let their Senators know that they expect President Trump to be treated fairly and that any attempts by the House Democrats to expand their inquiry should be rejected. A quick, fair trial and exoneration will allow the Senate to get back to important work on behalf of the American people. The House failed in its duty to take impeachment seriously, and the Senate should dispose of this sham political maneuver fairly and rapidly.”
