3. I am in awe!

That is one of the best speeches I’ve ever listened to. Thank you so much, Adam Schiff - you’re truly amazing.

[world wide wally]

4. Bravo

Breathes there a man with soul so dead
Who never to himself has said,
"This is mine own.. My native land"

[DEbluedude]

5. A true Statesman.

He is brilliant. Someone who brings back memories of a bygone era, which is a shame.

[tomhagen]

6. Absolutely Brilliant. But will it change a single mind?

Senator Inbred; argued trump never admitted to a crime.

[erlewyne]

7. No wonder the G.O.P. Senators are hiding today

That has to be the greatest speech I have ever heard. Schiff has to be president
some day (he probably does not want it).

I would be so ashamed to be a G.O.P. senator.

[Stuart G]

8. This is a briliant speech, and it is total truth...Thank You for posting this.

Schiff has done a great job in summarizing and showing the guilt of Donald Trump. Perhaps some senators who were "No votes", have become "Yes votes for conviction". We will know in a couple of days.

9. Let's flood our Senators with phone calls. Tell them "Vote to convict".

[femmedem]

10. He's doing his best to appeal to Republicans' better angels.

"Every single vote, even a single vote by a single vote by a single member, can change the course of history. It is said that a single man or woman of courage makes a majority. Is there one among you will say, "Enough."

"He has betrayed our national security and he will do so again. He has compromised our elections and he will do so again. You will not change him. You can not constrain him. He is who he is. Truth matters little to him. What's right matters even less. And decency matters not at all. I do not ask you to convict him because truth or right or decency matters nothing to him, but because we have proven our case and it matters to you. Truth matters to you. Right matters to you. You are decent. He is not who you are."

[King_Klonopin]

12. It was a home-run speech.

He has set the table so that every vote to "acquit" will have the pungent
stench of dereliction, betrayal and shame forever attached to it like
a noxious shit-mist. By implication truth, justice and decency must mean
nothing to those who would allow this vile man to walk away without
consequence.

Schiff was very direct about what was at stake for Senators --
This will be the legacy they will leave for history:

1) Dereliction of their Duty

2) Betraying their office and the "sworn oath" of impartial justice

3) Making a travesty of the Constitution and the meaning of the term "trial"

4) Abetting a criminal and condoning his indecent, reprehensible, immoral,
manipulative, dishonest behavior

Schiff also warned them that Trump's pathology will continue and worsen.
If Trump is re-elected, it will result in an apocalyptic nightmare.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. When you start listening to this, you will listen through to the end.

[Hekate]

13. What a moving & profound speech. What a Statesman we are blessed with.

Thank you for posting this in its entirety.
