I was so disturbed by Trump’s treatment of Michigan I had to go back and re-watch @RepAdamSchiff speech.

You should too...not only was it brilliant as he presented it, it absolutely predicted these moments. It will go down in history for its prescience.

“Now you might be asking yourself: How much damage can he really do in the next several months until the election.

A lot. A lot of damage.”

“Can you have the least bit of confidence that Donald Trump will…protect our national interest over his own personal interest? You know you can’t, which makes him dangerous to this country….You know you can’t count on him. None of us can.”

“Can any of us really have the confidence that Donald Trump will put his personal interests [behind] the national interest? Is there really any evidence that should give us the ironclad confidence that he would do so?

You know you can’t count on him to do that…”

“The American people deserve an American president they can count on to put their interest first.”

5/

“No Constitution can protect us if right doesn’t matter any more. You know you can’t trust this president to do what’s right for this country...”

“...You can trust he will do what’s right for Donald Trump. He’ll do it now. He’s done it before. He’ll do it for the next several months. He’ll do it in the election if he’s allowed to.”

.@RepAdamSchiff laid out exactly what was happening, and what would happen.

It was clear even then he was right.

And as he warned, the prediction is playing out months later with deadly consequences.

Trump is a sociopath and a narcissist. He will always put his personal interest first. But he is predictable.

Senatoes ignored Schiff—tanked a real trial—even though they knew he was right.

They enabled the disgusting behavior we are witnessing now.
