One of the best speeches ever:
"How much damage can he do between now and the next election? A lot. A lot of damage,” Schiff said.
He said that if Trump is not found guilty and removed, Russia or other foreign governments could interfere in the 2020 election.

He said that if Trump is not found guilty and removed, Russia or other foreign governments could interfere in the 2020 election.
"Let's say they start to blatantly interfere in our election again to help Donald Trump," Schiff said. "Can you have the least bit of confidence that Donald Trump will stand up to them and 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. You know you can't count on him, none of us can."

Schiff, speaking directly to a packed and attentive Senate floor with every senator at his or her desk or standing in
the back, repeatedly stated that Trump cannot be trusted and is inherently self-interested.
"If right doesn't matter, we’re lost; if the truth doesn't matter, we’re lost," he said.
"If right doesn't matter, we’re lost; if the truth doesn't matter, we’re lost," he said.
Schiff argued that the Ukraine scandal is a part of the president’s pattern of corrupt behavior and not a one-off issue.
“You can’t trust this president will do what’s right for this country. He will do what's right for Donald Trump,” Schiff said.
“You can’t trust this president will do what’s right for this country. He will do what's right for Donald Trump,” Schiff said.
“The American people deserve a president they can count on to put their interests first.”
He added, "If you find him guilty you must find that he must be removed because right matters, the truth matters, otherwise we are lost."

Americans are united in that they want to hear the truth about what Trump has been doing. All of us, Rs & Ds, have lost family and friends, and we are devastated, but we are also VERY ANGRY that Trump may be the cause of the severity of the outbreak.
@SenateGOP At the Senate Impeachment Trial, you denied us the opportunity to hear from additional witnesses or documents that could have cleared things up for us. 75% of us wanted that. You ignored us. You even admitted he was guilty, but would not say so (under oath)
because you would have to remove him from office. You voted to acquit, which was flat out perjury. Many of you should have recused yourselves due to conflicts of interest, but you chose not to. That is an ethics violation. You knew if you did, you would not have a majority.
THAT was obstruction of justice, pure and simple.
Now, we are demanding that the @HouseDemocrats #ImpeachTrumpAgain for heinous crimes, not just extorting a foreign nation for political favors. There is little question he will be impeached on multiple serious Articles,
Now, we are demanding that the @HouseDemocrats #ImpeachTrumpAgain for heinous crimes, not just extorting a foreign nation for political favors. There is little question he will be impeached on multiple serious Articles,
which will come to you for trial. If the evidence proves his guilt (and we are certain it will) we the people of this great nation demand that you convict him, and remove him.

His handling of CV-19 is directly responsible for the severity of the plague in the US, and the need
to shut down the economy, ruining millions of people's lives. If you do not hold him accountable, your political futures are doomed. @LindseyGrahamSC @SenTedCruz @senatemajldr @SenJohnKennedy @lisamurkowski @SenCoryGardner @SenatorRomney @SenAlexander @SenSusanCollins
