Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the lead House prosecutor, accused the president of a “corrupt scheme” to pressure Ukraine for help “to cheat” in the election https://t.co/EQM7AIUGOE

— The New York Times (@nytimes) January 23, 2020

Based on the last 20 minutes or so of Schiff's opening arguments it would appear that the President is not only guilty but guilty to an almost comical degree.

One thing Trump understands is what makes good TV.

Schiff’s presentation right now – replete with perfectly edited videos and quoteboards — is very good TV.

Restating what I wrote a few days ago; with managers; less is more. Schiiff should be carrying the lion's share of the case AND they don't need 24 hours. Giving every manger the limelight is a tactical mistake. https://t.co/YVoZOjDgiz

Tonight, Chief Justice Roberts announced an agreement to allow classified information — supplemental testimony from Pence aide Jennifer Williams — into the record. The document will be available for review by all the senators in a classified setting.

JUST IN: Dems have transmitted to the Senate a classified letter from Pence aide Jennifer Williams, supplementing her previous testimony re: Pence’s Sept. 17 call with Zelensky.

They have asked Pence to declassify but so far he’s refused. It won’t be made public, per aide >>> pic.twitter.com/BnRie4FKQx

The House managers did a masterful job of marshaling the evidence. The only stumble so far was Nadler’s impolitic accusation that GOP senators were guilty of a “treacherous vote” & a “shameful coverup.” Even some Dem senators said he had gone too far.https://t.co/2AZMdVdrU9

NEW: House Dems hammered senators with everything they had: an all-day deluge of dense info, peppered with screenshots of deposition transcripts, emails, text messages and 50 video clips — 3 times more than House GOP used in 1999 for Clinton.https://t.co/8xLRVvHFDo

The GAO found that Trump's withholding of Ukraine aid was unlawful.

In their FOIA suit, the NYT argues that “presidential privilege” is for protecting legitimate internal deliberations, not to obscure wrongdoing or corruption, that it’s not a coconspirator’s privilege. THREAD >> https://t.co/vRzmVAZB51

Based on my experience with Republican colleagues in the House, I suspect that many Senate Republicans are hearing the facts of this case for the first time.

Fox News has the optics of covering the #ImpeachmentTrial without actually covering it. They've been showing screen-in-screen video of the proceedings without audio. Instead, hosts are providing Trumpian spin. It's propaganda giving the illusion of journalism. Remarkable. pic.twitter.com/NKbN2Sic1o

"It's really annoying that we're not hearing anything new in this impeachment trial," they say less than one day after voting to … not hear anything new in this impeachment trial.

Lots of GOP senators complaining about how repetitive the Dem arguments have been, including the replaying of certain videos.

This strategy might not work on them, but it could be useful to the public, which isn’t sitting watching every minute

In watching Schiff’s excellent lay down of evidence, timeline & actions, I’m distracted.

What else was going on – with Russia, Saudi Arabia, N Korea, Turkey, etc – where descriptive records aren’t available? This can’t be a stand-alone cluster.

Terry Jones on Life of Brian:
"It wasn't about what Christ was saying, but about the people who followed him," he said. "The ones who for the next 2,000 years would torture and kill each other because they couldn't agree on what he was saying about peace and love."
