NEW: Dems unloaded a massive Ukraine arsenal on the Senate today — a voluminous, complicated case featuring transcripts, texts, emails and about 50 video clips (3x more than the entire Clinton trial).

w/ @AndrewDesiderio

@AndrewDesiderio The firehose of evidence was meant, in part, to counter GOP claims that the House rushed its case and didn't do its "homework."

But it also underscored the tension between their 'overwhelming' case and their urgent plea for new witnesses+docs.

@AndrewDesiderio Impossible to overstate the Dems' heavy reliance on video clips to drive home their point. They replayed some of the most devastating ones in primetime — a move that shows they're gearing arguments for the public as much as they are the senators.

@AndrewDesiderio There were about a dozen clips of Bill Taylor's testimony. There were also multiple showings of Trump calling on Ukraine/China to investigate Biden, and Mulvaney claiming a quid pro quo for Ukraine military aid.

@AndrewDesiderio Highly notable stuff from @MZanona:

Trump ally Rep. GAETZ praised Dems' use of multimedia, which he said gave their trial presentation a "cable news" feel ...

Unlike the Trump team, whose presentation Gaetz said felt like “an 8th grade book report.” politico.com/news/2020/01/2…
@AndrewDesiderio @MZanona "Actually, no, I take that back,” Gaetz added, "because an 8th grader would actually know how to use PowerPoint and iPads."
