(4,986 posts)Is a powerful argument hes making.

Mersky
(4,986 posts)No more than its his place to tell you how to conduct a trial in the Senate.

nolabear
(41,991 posts)They're predictable and ridiculous, only used to distract and badger.
PlanetBev
(4,104 posts)Schiff calling out the Republicans bullshit ahead of time is pure genius. I love this man. Proud to be a Democrat and a Californian. He represents a district about 45 minutes east of me.

But for the whistleblower he wouldnt have gotten caught.

Cipillone and Sekulow should be done by 11AM
Lonestarblue
(10,078 posts)And in any other environment, a rapid conviction should follow. This Republican Senate, however, prefers utter corruption to preserving democracy. I suspect that McConnell has promised them re-election by whatever means needed if they stick with him. I think the impeachment managers know that Republicans are not listeningthey are playing to a broader audience of November voters. I just hope enough voters are paying attention.

(audible laughter in the chamber)
Pachamama
(16,887 posts)What exactly was that in response to?
Mersky
(4,986 posts)Are the loudest chuckles Ive heard thus far.

LiberalFighter
(51,089 posts)They didn't have a choice. But Sekolow and others had poor strategy.
BumRushDaShow
(129,472 posts)when no intellectually astute lawyer would have touched this case with a 10ft pole.
It was to the point where even Dershowitz has gone around on the media claiming that he "wasn't part of the President's legal team" and that he was just there as what is basically an "expert witness" (on the Constitution).

(33,424 posts)Mersky
(4,986 posts)Whats gotten me is how genuine the laughter has been.
The timing of it... from quiet and demurring to earnest belly chuckling. They were listening.

(5,693 posts)I'm worn out, sad, in despair, and still, Adam Schiff manages to give me that little glimmer of hope.
Mersky
(4,986 posts)I had no idea, whoa.
Hes basically asking them, do you really want to be like Russia?
___
That segment also gave me chills.
Pachamama
(16,887 posts)Whoa
Mersky
(4,986 posts)I think of the Russian legal code as fitting roughly in the same amount of space as my set of Harry Potter books. And have been appalled at the lenient sentences for domestic violence, etc. I hadnt heard about the trial by telephone aspect.
nolabear
(41,991 posts)We are lucky as hell to have them.
