Adam Schiff stood like a Billy Graham and preached the truth to the US Senate.

Not in a particular religious sense, but in the sense of telling the people the truth to their faces.

Republicans would look downward as the truth came at them like glancing bullets.

Because there is corruption. Massive corruption.

And Adam Schiff pointed it out, line by line. He had magnificent help from his fellow managers. I thought Hakeem Jeffries laid it out so even a child could understand it. He was great.

It was dramatic. Republicans got themselves into a trap and promised not to try to escape. They made their beds and now, they will have to lie in them.

That is why it is so unusual that a person like Adam Schiff can stand and give them the facts, line by line, and command the attention - like a Billy Graham or a Donald Trump.

People listen.

I would not compare the person, Adam Schiff, with either Billy Graham or Donald Trump. He has moral courage.

I don't think the republicans paid attention.

They don't give a shit.

They prove this time and time again by their actions and words.

Adam did an excellent job !!!

His delivery was emotional and heart felt.

It was wasted on the Senate republicans.

They are the enemy.

They are the greatest threat this country has ever faced.

They definitely do not need to be representing the people in the US Senate.

This has been in the works for decades.

They are well on their way.

I don't want to live in the country they envision.

There can be no freedom in their new world.
