Behind the scenes: How House managers prepped their days-long trial presentation. A small army of staffers spent weeks crafting the case — working to prepare elements long before the House managers were even named. - RebeccaShabad /AlexNBCNews
The Trump impeachment managers’ use of House testimony excerpts was"skillfully organized,” said Donald Wolfensberger, a congressional scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center. “In 1999, on the other hand, I don’t recall any similar visuals used by Clinton impeachment House managers" though, he noted,"the Starr report would have been tricky to visually dramatize."
Staffers tasked with prepping the case divided the presentations for each impeachment manager into different thematic units, Raskin said, a division of labor that made it easier for each manager to focus on their slice of the case and related supporting evidence. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., for instance, was home in San Jose “devouring documents,” according to a staffer. This is Lofgren’s third impeachment experience on the Hill — she was a House Judiciary Committee staffer during the Nixon impeachment investigation, and served on the Judiciary panel as a lawmaker during the Clinton impeachment.
Each day ahead of the trial, the managers have met with senior counsels and received an outline of suggested arguments, the aide said. At the end of the day, the managers have met with staff. And while the opportunities for sleep have been limited, Democrats have implemented a night shift for staffers from each of the committees involved so that they can prepare material for the following day.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, seen as a possible vote with Democrats to extend the trial to allow witness testimony and documents, told reporters Thursday that the presentation by the managers a day earlier was “long” but “pretty thorough.”
