Adam Schiff to Republican colleagues: Many of you have acknowledged your deep misgivings about Trump in quiet conversations, bemoaned his lack of decency & inability to tell the truth [but] keep your rising alarm private. That must end. You must speak out.

Adam Schiff to Republican colleagues: "If we cannot rise to the defense of our democracy now, in the face of a plainly unconstitutional aggrandizement of presidential power, what hope can we have that we will do so with the far greater decisions?"

Adam Schiff to Republican colleagues: When Trump attacked the independence of the DOJ by intervening in a case in which he is implicated...attacked the press as enemy of the people...targeted the judiciary, labeling judges he didn’t like as illegitimate, you did not speak out.

Adam Schiff to Republican colleagues: "The time for silent disagreement is over. You must speak out. This will require courage...But such acts of independence are the most profound demonstrations of loyalty to country."

Thank you, @RepAdamSchiff.
