1. Schiff is NOT arguing actual facts and evidence in the House record based on testimony or documents.  He’s substituting his own narrative as the basis for his “case.”  There’s no smoking gun. There’s no killer witness.

2. So they’ve insisted that there’s a coverup because they can’t use the Senate to call witnesses or present evidence that would prove what they cannot prove in support of their bogus impeachment, none of which was the basis for the House vote.

Rep. Adam Schiff: "Pres. Trump withheld hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid...to secure foreign help with his reelection—in other words, to cheat."

"His scheme was undertaken for a simple but corrupt reason: to help him win reelection."

There’s an old saying:
If you have the facts, you bang the facts.
If you have the law, you bang the law.
If you don't have either, you bang the table.

Yesterday we saw a whole lot of table banging from Schiff, Schumer, et al. Unfortunately I expect to see the same today.

I’m obviously not a fan of Adam Schiff but he’s head-and-shoulders above the rest of the House managers in his ability to make a public argument

After all, all those MREs and blankets Obama sent helped save Crimea.

How far from reality can these yokels run?

Schiff: Trump's "misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box. For we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won. In corruptly using his office to gain a political advantage ... the president has shown that he believes he is above the law and scornful of constraint."

Myth: President Trump wanted President Zelensky to “dig up dirt” on Vice President Biden.

Fact: The President was not digging up “dirt” on Vice President Biden.

He was worried about corruption in Ukraine!

House Dems couldn’t be bothered to wait for the Courts to decide on witnesses. They said impeachment was urgent!

Now in the Senate, they’re admitting how weak their case is by demanding more witnesses.

Schiff once again invokes 2020 election as impeachment factor, saying that POTUS' "misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won."

From colleague Tara Prindiville. Klobuchar: The American people want to see witnesses. I thought one of the lowest points of many from the other side yesterday was when at one in the morning, when we try one last ditch effort to let Justice Roberts decide who the witnesses are.

Rep. Adam Schiff calls for senators to have John Bolton, Mick Mulvaney, and Sec. Mike Pompeo to testify. "You will hear their testimony at the same time as the American people—that is, if you allow it."

I don’t get how people who didn’t balk at Obama’s refusal to give Ukraine lethal aid can as *as a policy mattter* object to a brief delay in military aid by Trump as a horrendous blow to Ukraine’s defense

This case is utterly airtight. Trump said it. It is in the transcript. He wanted a POLITICAL favor so he held up aid. There is really no excuse, no defense.

Well, you know what you could do? Subpoena those documents in the House and then wait for a court to adjudicate the issue. Or, conversely, you could pretend that a cover-up is taking place when you refuse to do your job in the House.

.@RepAdamSchiff: If the Senate does not convict @realDonaldTrump and lets him get away with defying congressional oversight, this will "permanently alter the balance of power among the branches of government." Trump "believes he is above the law." #ImpeachmentTrial

When all else fails, fabricate charges.  Seems like the whole premise of this fiasco.

Trump is the only president to ever question the billions of taxpayer dollars sent around the world—and how much ends up back in the bank accounts of the political families who dole out the cash.

So they impeached him.

Got it?
