After covering everything leading up to the inquiry in the House, covering the House inquiry itself and covering the opening arguments at the Senate trial, I think, for me, the q&a has been the most interesting part of this process. New mental exercises to do.

On 7/24 OMB officials sent a "Ukraine prep memo" preparing to freeze military aid to Ukraine the day before Trump's 7/25 call with Zelensky.

Schiff: "The House believes that an impartial juror ... will find that the Constitution demands [Trump's] removal ... That will be for you to decide, with the weight of history upon you, and, as Pres. Kennedy once said, 'a good conscience your only sure reward.'"

Trump impeachment defense is dangerous. Abuses of power could crack America's foundation.
Trump thinks his oath was a vague, unenforceable promise, that he can't be held accountable as long as he doesn't commit a crime. But he's wrong.

Tonight's hearing is a bit unusual in that it will be broken up over two days (It happens, just not often). Tonight's hearing starts at 7PM, so lawmakers will likely deliver speeches, get into a bit of debate and then save the meat of the "marking up" for the Thursday 9AM session
Here's a THREAD of the Democratic Candidates for GOP Judiciary seats in 2020. Llnks for all.
