8. I think it's the House Managers who are in charge of the trial

Who will be doing the heavy lifting here. Senators can certainly have conversations with their colleagues, though.

led by Jamie Raskin

Ted Lieu has been terrific at cross-examining witnesses when I've seen him in Congress and he's on the team

Also on the team are: Rep. Diana DeGette of Colorado; Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island; Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas; Rep. Eric Swalwell of California; Del. Stacey Plaskett, from the Virgin Islands; Rep. Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania; and Rep. Joe Neguse of Colorado.

10. For the Senate trial of the Impeachment?

That isn't how Impeachment works. Yes we have many good attorneys in the Senate. Their role in the trial is a jurors, not prosecutors. The House is responsible for presenting the case against Trump. It is just as they did the last time where Adam Schiff lead the team of Nadler, Demmings, Lofgren, Jeffries, Crow, and Garcia.

The House will be lead by Jami Raskin and will have their own formidable lawyers, Ted Lieu, Joaquin Castro, Stacey Plaskett, Eric Swalwell and others.
