Rep. Jerry Nadler is finding himself the target of Republicans this morning, and rightfully so, for accusing Senators yesterday of engaging in a “coverup”:
Expect this narrative today. GOP senators saying they were offended at Nadler’s speech, attacking the Senate last night. That partially prompted Chief Justice Roberts to admonish both sides

Maybe they’re arguing that it undercuts the Dem case because it does undercut the Dem case?
GOP this morning going hard after Nadler who accused senators last night of engaging in a coverup. They are arguing it undercuts the House Dem case. “It was so insulting and outrageous it was a shock to all of us,” Cornyn said to @alizaslav

Ok, Jerry:
Nadler says he sees a lot of senators “voting against witnesses.” Calls that a “treacherous vote.”

Did he think this would help?
“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you’re a bunch of jerks.”
Ok, that’s an idea… https://t.co/lCYrz6b7i2

Anyway, it’s laughable as Nadler was plotting impeachment for quite some time:
Naadler, who is talking now, was busted hatching impeachment plans the day after 2018 election… by me. As I don’t get tired of reminding … https://t.co/NZyMUEnH3U
