1. No @justinamash?
Another major mistake by the House leadership, like not having any Republican lawyer-experts testify (like @chkbal Charles Fried, Gerson, Keisler).
2. No @RepRaskin? He & Amash are the best at presenting a persuasive case.
1) The GOP's loudest critique is that this is a partisan impeachment. It's a weak critique, but there are some easy ways to rebut it. Amash is an easy way.
2) Low-info voters don't follow details but get party as a shorthand signal. So Amash.
Meanwhile, @RepValDemings makes a serious litigation mistake on Day 1.
This is not promising.
