Watch Sherrod Brown breaking it all down in the Senate today

I wrote in the thread* for recording Senators opinions on the impeachment vote, that, if I could be anyone else today, I would like to be Sherrod Brown (D-OH). Was amazing and powerful.

Here’s his MUST WATCH speech:

To quote just a small part from his speech:

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) - link to live coverage - IS A MUST WATCH

Lev Parnas and Bondy are on with Ari right now

Lev is giving tons of context. Rachel is out attending a funeral.

Is something to hear at the end of a day like this.

Schumer called this 'trial' without witnesses and documents a perfidy, and I completely agree.

Schumer and Democrats Hold News Conference - LIVE

Schumer Press Conference LIVE

I thought the opening segments were intriguing

Recounting the history of how senior republican senator Howard Baker came to take the Watergate hearings seriously. Showed a clip from his 2005 interview.

Then, she proceeded to review documents received via FOIA requests by American Oversight that show a range of republican congressmen requesting from the OMB answers about compliance of payments to Ukraine and support for the security assistance. Letters sent from republicans include: Sen Portman, Sen Inhofe, Sen. Ron Johnson, rep thornberry, rep paul cook, and rep mccaul.

Also, she highlighted a CBS news article from Sept 12:

I have not found a CSPAN link, yet. Am watching on MSNBC.*


Just prior to this press conference, Schumer spoke to reporters on the way out of the Senate:
