Not to imply that yours or mine isn't, and of course he has the education and the skills (which I certainly don't have, don't know about you all), but that focus is a dead giveaway that his sights are directly on the Constitution, with his whole heart.

They put together those trial notebooks on each witness and each letter and email.

They put together the audio/video displays that seamlessly dovetailed with the arguments.

I would hate to have them on the case to oust me.

He's not just trying to remove one of the worst and least competent presidents in history, he's exposing just how corrupt the party that put him into office is. He is being helped in that endeavor by that party.

I knew exactly who you were addressing! It must really bug the orange pus. Schiff is such an eloquent speaker, something Trump has never been. I believe one of the many things Trump resented about President Obama was his ability to communicate so well. And now he knows the world is hearing the message of Adam Schiff.
