And get the press to zero in.

True, but irrelevant about the underlying substance, we are in the reality of today! We need sound bites folks.

Mrs. Hatrack here.

In the immortal words of DU's own Cat Woman, after a righteous rant by Keith Olbermann years ago in the days of the W. Administration, I truly need a cigarette after hearing Schiff's closing statement.

Well done, sir.

And, after all the water muddying the rethugs shouted out today, it brought the focus of the hearings back - because IQ45 used the powers of his office to bully a foreign government to produce imaginary dirt on a political opponent.

And that is wrong and impeachable.

But I'm getting fed up with the g.o.p. sychophantic based defense of the indefensible.

Was boring as hell. I fell asleep twice! Like nap time - typically a baseball game or golf match.

Schiff summed it all in 5 minutes in prime time !

He summarized why it was a bribery: Trump conditioned providing an official act (missiles, White House visit) for a thing of value to Trump personally (manufactured dirt on Biden and Crowdstrike and a Biden-besmirching public announcement by Ukraine of an investigation into Biden/Burisma and 2016 US election/Crowdstrike servers). 

In short, it was missiles for manufactured dirt.
