34. And Rep. Denny Heck of Wash. state did a great job near the end of wrapping it up...

by stating it was about country and patriotism and not a partisan witch hunt as some of the repugs tried to make it appear.

[gopiscrap]

35. yes he did

he's not my Rep, but do know him...mine is Kilmer in the 6th District

[brush]

48. Washington state is certainly standing up to be counted. Wasn't the judge who rejected...

the first Muslim travel ban from Washington also?

[gopiscrap]

57. yes, along with Washington State's Attorney General filing and handling

the case

[southerncrone]

83. Yes, Heck did a heck of a job in bringing in the "patriotism" angle. (pun intended!)

He threw their most precious meme right back in their face, and did it in a very sincere & meaningful way.
Proud he's on our team.

[WiffenPoof]

85. Completely Agree

He gave a pretty impassioned speech that really got my attention.

[brush]

91. It made me sit up in bed and pay even more attention.

We need more like him.

[furtheradu]

30. It's a rare & wondrous thing!

Well done, sir!

[George II]

12. He's had five or six "sessions" (sorry for the word...haha) and done a great job each time....

..wrapping things up and reconnecting the thoughts that the republicans have tried to scatter.

[murielm99]

13. That is the important part:

reconnecting thoughts that the republicans try to scatter.

Schiff is another good one! I am happy to see all the threads here praising our great Democratic Senators and Representatives.

K&R!

21. He's on CNN with Jake Tapper right now

Emphasizing that some leaks may have come from WH- Trump's own people because for example, Flynn was not very popular with many people even around Trump

Continues explaining importance of circumstantial evidence and that FBI/NSA/Clapper cannot issue definitive conclusions yet about evidence of collusion as is ongoing investigation

[SunSeeker]

22. A true patriot.

[ffr]

23. He needs to be an example for all elected officials.

Another Congresscritter who makes me proud to be a Californian! Starting with Ted Lieu, of course. And, on edit, adding Maxine Waters, plus Eric Swalwell and his wonderful website resource page:

Unfortunately, we're also still stuck with Devin Nunes, Tom McClintock, and Darrell Issa.

[bettyellen]

43. Well done!!

[Greybnk48]

44. He is brilliant!

In times like these, someone extraordinary seems to come forward. He is definitely the face of hope in this crisis. Thank goodness!

[H2O Man]

I agree fully.

More, I think we should be contacting his office -- calls, e-mails, postcards, etc -- to encourage his continued focus on this issue.

[Leghorn21]

52. XXXOOO x 30 trillion, good sir!! Spectacular work! eom

[Doreen]

53. He is a great man.

We need more like him.

[Enoki33]

54. All the Dems did a carefully laid out presentation of the devastating

circumstantial evidence against Trump and the questionable people he surrounds himself with. Rep Adam Schaffer was particularly brilliant and effective. Thank you.

61. K&R n/t

[R B Garr]

62. K&R! I still remember how awesome it was

when he unseated Rogan where he convinced people that Rogan's involvement in the phony Clinton impeachment farce made him unfit for office. He cut out that cancer like a surgeon. Glad he's in our side! He is formidable.

[Kablooie]

63. I live in his district! First time I've ever been proud of my Congressman.

[NastyRiffraff]

64. He was incredible

He calmly and thoroughly connected all the dots, named names, and IGNORED Trey Goudy when he tried to deflect to the leaks "scandal."

I was proud of all our Democrats on that committee today. Bravo!

[Duppers]

65. ❤'s for him.

I was jumping up and down during his questioning introductions.

No offense against Nancy, but Schiff is some of the new young talent we need in the House.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

[benfranklin1776]

71. A true American hero.

His selfless sacrifice and diligence is deeply appreciated by all who put country and the welfare of humanity over petty self enrichment, self aggrandizement and self advancement, in other words everyone but your typical modern traitorous Rethuglican.

84. He did a superior job...

His layout of the "coincidences" was compelling and so well done. I actually saw the full picture for the first time.

[aikoaiko]

86. Appeared rock solid.

I was impressed in this day and age of grand standing he was very sober, direct, and hard hitting.

Reminded me of a bygone era.

[lamp_shade]

87. There is so much about him that reminds me of President Obama...

Calm, cool, confident. Intelligent. He seems to have a vast knowledge of all the issues and is quick, detailed and honest with his answers. Every time I see him, I can't help but be reminded of Obama.

[bullwinkle428]
