Late last night in the Senate impeachment trial, when the last question was asked by a Democratic Senator for the House Managers, Schiff got up to answer the question and to give his last argument. But Nadler beat him to the podium and didn’t respond to when Schiff tried to get his attention:
I can’t get over this video.
Dems ask for a closing statement on the night. Nadler, clearly fed up, jumps to his feet and scurries to the mic, ignoring audible protests of lead manager Schiff.
Then Nadler gives a terrible lecturing close.

Maybe Nadler didn’t hear Schiff or he ignored him. Either way, Schiff looked lost there for a second as he stood there watching Nadler say “Mr. Chief Justice…” and knew he could protest no longer. LOL!
Trump thinks it was intentional and that Democrats are fighting, saying this morning “Nadler ripped final argument away from Schiff, thinks Shifty did a terrible job. They are fighting big time!”

Either way it’s a hilarious moment for those of us who despise Schiff and his abuse of power that’s led us to this moment.
