This. Is. BRILLIANT.
@RepAdamSchiff is leading the Senate in a "close read" of the Transcript. The Trump/Zelensky transcript @realDonaldTrump keeps telling people to read.
He's explaining every line, EVERY LINE, in the context of the larger corrupt scheme.

@RepAdamSchiff @realDonaldTrump This is movie level lawyering here.
And I don't mean that in the "fake" sense. I mean that in the "when everything comes together in the closing argument." sense.

Honestly expect @McConaughey to pop up and say "Now imagine this were Obama," and drop the mic.
@RepAdamSchiff @realDonaldTrump @McConaughey HA! "No one is really making the argument "Donald Trump would never do such a thing," because of course we know that he would. And of course we know that he did." -- @RepAdamSchiff
@RepAdamSchiff @realDonaldTrump @McConaughey Having established that he's guilty, Schiff now turns to why Trump should be removed. And he says that Trump is dangerous because he "chose Rudy Giuliani" over his, actually OUR, entire national security apparatus.

AHEM!! ME FROM EARLIER :)
@RepAdamSchiff @realDonaldTrump @McConaughey Schiff is really making the case now. The REAL case. Telling the Senate "you know you can't count on him [Trump]. You know you can't. You know you can't."

This argument is for the so-called national security Republicans.
@RepAdamSchiff @realDonaldTrump @McConaughey I feel like for the rest of the Dems time, they should just replay @RepAdamSchiff's closing tonight. THIS is the argument. This is the only argument.
Can you count on Trump to put the country's interests about his own? No. And so he's dangerous. And so he must be removed. THE END
@RepAdamSchiff @realDonaldTrump @McConaughey Don't tell me this is pointless. IT IS NEVER POINTLESS TO TRY.
