Donald Trump has been impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress—and in case there was any doubt he’s guilty, he’s bragging about obstruction. But that’s not enough for Senate Republicans determined to protect him at all cost.

On day one of opening arguments, the House impeachment managers, led by Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff, gave a master class in conveying complicated information clearly and persuasively, while Republicans conveyed their contempt for the proceedings by leaving the room and Chief Justice John Roberts failed to do his job by rebuking their absences. Even before Democrats began to make their case, a majority of Americans believed Trump should be removed from office.

The House impeachment managers—Schiff, Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler, and Reps. Zoe Lofgren, Hakeem Jeffries, Val Demings, Jason Crow, and Sylvia Garcia—continue to make their case in the second day of opening arguments. Daily Kos will be following live.

Friday, Jan 24, 2020 · 12:16:50 AM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

We’re back, with Hakeem Jeffries continuing what’s been a powerful presentation with an insightful and fresh approach.

Friday, Jan 24, 2020 · 12:30:56 AM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Jeffries continues to demonstrate, step by step, just how ridiculous Donald Trump’s claims of “no pressure” really are. Ukraine needed the military assistance. They needed the White House meeting.

They didn’t just want them. They required them to survive.

So long as it was just Rudy Giuliani representing himself as Trump’s personal attorney, they resisted announcing investigations, because they knew it would risk their bipartisan support in Congress. But Trump didn’t leave it at Giuliani. He pushed the State Department to take their marching orders from Giuliani, and with the help of calls from Sondland, Volker, and others, Zelensky was driven to cooperate with Giuliani.

Friday, Jan 24, 2020 · 12:31:35 AM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Jeffries: “This is corruption and abuse of power in it’s purest form.”

Friday, Jan 24, 2020 · 12:37:01 AM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

In case you missed it 

The new position from Republicans is that since Trump has said he'll invoke privilege if Bolton is subpoenaed … they won't subpoena Bolton. Because if they subpoena, and Trump invokes privilege, they would have to go to court. And if they go to court, Trump will fight. And if Trump fights, they’ll have to appeal. And that could mean this trial goes on for weeks. So they’re not even going to issue a subpoena. Obstruction beats obstruction charges, Q.E.D. Notice that Trump didn’t even have to invoke privilege or resist a subpoena to get the Republicans to fold. Because they come pre-folded.

Friday, Jan 24, 2020 · 12:49:11 AM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Jeffries: “In America, for all of us, what keeps us free from tyranny, is the sacred principle: No one is above the law.”

Wraps a fantastic presentation on the pressure applied to Ukraine and how Zelensky was badgered into making a deal for the military assistance he should have had to begin with.

Friday, Jan 24, 2020 · 12:49:48 AM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Slyvia Garcia is back up, and pounding the phrase “quid pro quo.” 

Friday, Jan 24, 2020 · 1:02:38 AM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Garcia is showing a series of clips, demonstrating that the State Department and NSC officials were not just aware of the extortion scheme Trump was conducting, but aware that it was wrong.

In clip after clip, Hill, Vindman, Taylor, and others demonstrate that they see what’s going on, and immediately acted to report that there was an issue.

Friday, Jan 24, 2020 · 1:18:30 AM +00:00 · Mark Sumner Like Jeffries, Garcia demonstrated that Zelensky and team tried every way they could to not give into the corrupt investigations Trump was demanding. They only buckled to his demands after they were getting regular calls from Sondland, Volker, Giuliani and otehrs to make it clear they had no choice. Friday, Jan 24, 2020 · 1:21:31 AM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Five minute break at the request of the House management team. Unclear why.

Donald Trump has been impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress—and in case there was any doubt he’s guilty, he’s bragging about obstruction. But that’s not enough for Senate Republicans determined to protect him at all cost.

On day one of opening arguments, the House impeachment managers, led by Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff, gave a master class in conveying complicated information clearly and persuasively, while Republicans conveyed their contempt for the proceedings by leaving the room and Chief Justice John Roberts failed to do his job by rebuking their absences.

Adam Schiff finishing out the list of reasons it’s clear that Trump’s Ukraine actions were meant to benefit him personally, rather than genuinely fight corruption.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 9:43:04 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

All of this was from just one hour into the hearing. Republicans have the attention span of a tsetse fly.

Some other observations from the last half hour: @SenatorBurr has a fidget spinner, @RandPaul has quite the sketch of the Capitol going, and @MarshaBlackburn is reading a book.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 9:55:02 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Zoe Lofgren takes over as Schiff finishes up going over how they can know that Trump was acting only for himself. 

If Schiff was focused on the motivation, Lofgren appears to be dealing with the means — including getting Yovanovitch out of the way and putting in the “amigos.”

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 10:00:42 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Lofgren is delivering this segment with a tone that’s like a teacher reading a storybook to first graders. Which seems sadly appropriate.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 10:05:46 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

If there was any truth to that business of “ears burning” when someone talks about you, Lofgren would have caused Giuliani to go into spontaneous human combustion by now.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 10:07:15 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

And the awful thing is … Lofgren is leaving out by far the majority of Giuliani’s trips, articles, interviews, and statements that he used to bulldoze Marie Yovanovitch, twist arms in Ukraine, and make corruption great again.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 10:12:26 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

By the way, it’s obvious to everyone but Trump that Giuliani was working for at least two masters in this scheme. Oligarch Dmytro Firtash was actually picking up most of the tab and putting Giuliani together with “sources.” The Trump connection was convenient for Giuliani and Firtash, because they both knew that once Trump was defending an action, the original motivation wouldn’t matter.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 10:17:27 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Lofgren sits down, and Val Demings steps up to continue talking about the scheme directed by Giuliani. McConnell interjects to note there will be a dinner break around 6:30 — which in practice means whenever Rep. Demings sits down.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 10:21:16 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

If Lofgren is a grade school teacher reading a story, Demings is the hard-boiled detective who meets you at a bar to tell you about the crazy sh#t she saw on the beat today.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 10:31:02 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

I like it every time they come back to Marie Yovanovitch. I can’t believe there’s a living room in America, even in the reddest, Trumpiest America, where someone would side with Rudy Giuliani over Masha Yovanovitch. If there is, please don’t tell me.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 10:35:02 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Demings making it explicitly clear that Giuliani — who claimed he was there as Trump’s personal agent — was directly shaping U.S. policy, and U.S. personnel, in Ukraine.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 10:40:48 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Demings completes drawing the line between Giuliani approaching Zelensky as Trump’s personal agent, and Trump forcing the State Department to work through Giuliani — in effect, making U.S. foreign policy subservient to Trump’s personal interests.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 10:48:12 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Demings delivering a kick-ass finish to her segment, reminding senators of the scale of the effort here. Trump hijacked not just Ukraine funds, but U.S. foreign policy, U.S. national interest, and U.S. national security … all for an edge in the 2020 election.

“A violation of public trust. A failure to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. When it came down to the laws of the country and his own reelection, President Trump chose himself.”

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 10:49:51 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Hakeem Jeffries stands to continue the argument, so there won’t be a break until he completes. Loosens the senate up for a moment with a joke about Derek Jeter. 

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 10:51:49 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Jeffries: “Whats more American than baseball and apple pie? Perhaps the one thing that falls into that category is the sanctity of the Constitution.”

Jeffries thanks the Senate for preserving the dignity of the occasion, which may not sound like a dig, but it was during his presentation last night that almost half the Republicans walked out of the room.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 10:54:55 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Jeffries: “Rudy Giuliani … the human hand grenade.” 

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 11:05:08 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Jeffries pounding home the point of the disparity in the U.S. — Ukraine relationship. The idea that Trump can get out of this by having Zelensky say “no pressure” is, and always has been, laughable.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 11:08:36 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

I’d forgotten the moment in which Gordon Sondland explains that “He loves your ass” is “Trump speak” for someone being cooperative.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 11:13:22 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 11:35:21 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Jeffries continues doing important work here:

The things that Ukraine wanted were vital to their existence. The pressure to secure U.S. assistance was enormous. Zelensky fended off Giulini for months while behind the scenes Ukrainian officials scrambled madly to preserve the U.S. relationship without doing something they knew was wrong. Then Trump made it clear his demands could not be avoided by ordering the “amigos” to join up with Guiliani. It was only after Volker and Sondland reinforced the demands that had come through Giuliani that Zelensky folded and agreed. Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 11:35:45 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

And we’re on a break, BTW. I should have mentioned that sooner.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 11:40:55 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner Asked what she heard new today, @ewarren pointed to the presentation by @RepJeffries for how clear it made the pressure that Ukraine experienced. Warren is right. Jeffries gave a fantastic explanation that genuinely put a new light on events in both Ukraine and U.S.

Donald Trump has been impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress—and in case there was any doubt he’s guilty, he’s bragging about obstruction. But that’s not enough for Senate Republicans determined to protect him at all cost.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 8:35:38 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Even though Adam Schiff began this discussion by saying “you can imagine” what Putin is thinking, there is a 101% chance Trump is now going to accuse Schiff of making up words for Putin.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 8:38:37 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Schiff draws a laugh out of senators by saying that Trump has made Vladimir Putin religious, after Putin thanked God for Trump’s spreading of the Crowdstrike conspiracy theory.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 8:40:51 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

As expected, Schiff has cycled back to this slide to show that Trump wasn’t interested in corruption or other U.S. interests.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 8:46:52 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Schiff: “’Thank God,” Putin said. 'Nobody is accusing us anymore of interfering in U.S. elections. Now they're accusing Ukraine.'  Well, you've gotta give Donald Trump credit for this … He has made a religious man out of Vladimir Putin."

There’s a nice clip for the evening news.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 8:50:08 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Expect Republicans to be deaf to everything said except Trump demanding an investigation into the Bidens. For Republican senators, everyone but Trump sounds like an adult in a Charlie Brown special.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 8:55:07 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

The May 10 letter from Giuliani to Zelensky is a key piece of evidence. Giuliani’s initial claim in the letter—that he’s representing Trump to the head of a foreign state as a private citizen—should itself be enough to instigate impeachment, before another word is written.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 9:04:36 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner Schiff has essentially done his introductory speech to this topic—the rule of law, abuse of power, and Trump’s motivations—in the middle. Not clear why they’e arranged things this way, other than it does put their strongest speaker closer to the time when people might be getting home.

The House Managers are doing a great job blowing up Trump’s phony defenses in advance. I’d feel sorry for Team Trump — if I didn’t remind myself that nobody is forcing them to represent a dictator wannabe, a demagogue who threatens all we stand for as a representative democracy.

Anyone who thinks that 24 hours of House managers presenting an impeachment case before the Senate cannot be compelling, must-watch television, has not tuned in for a moment of this trial.

But there's still time. Tell everyone you know to call their Senators, but first tell them to tune into this presentation.

The immediate, powerful reaction to Trump’s “perfect” call.

This slide, introduced by up Syliva Garcia, would seem key to much of what’s to be discussed today.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 7:17:08 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Garcia is doing a good job of showing just how upside-down the conspiracy theory on the Bidens really is. Painful that this has to be done, but it has to be done.

And it’s still unlikely to affect Ted Cruz demanding Hunter Biden to appear, or Trump’s attorneys claiming that this was a legitimate thing to investigate.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 7:20:37 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Much of the case today — and some of the case on Wednesday — is really directed at highlighting just how false the statements from Trump’s team have been, and will be when they get their turn next week. Which doesn’t mean Republicans won’t, loudly and angrily, made the same unfounded claims again. In fact, they’re surely doing so on Fox right now — while talking over Garcia.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 7:24:03 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

This whole section that Garcia has presented on the Biden conspiracy theory is top notch.

Garcia: “Trump had the motive, the opportunity, and the means to commit this abuse of power.”

I like hearing those terms. Garcia tied Trump’s demands concerning Biden directly to polling information. She’s moving now to the Crowdstrike conspiracy theory.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 7:46:02 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

During the House hearings, no Republican on Intelligence or Judiciary actually tried to support the baseless "Crowdstrike" conspiracy theory. Instead, Nunes, Jordan, et al, pretended that Trump had been upset by an op-ed from a Ukrainian official, and some comments on Facebook.

It will be interesting to see if Trump’s team  tries to support this ridiculous claim. 10-1 odds they’ll just follow the lead of every other person not named “Q” or “Putin” and ignore what Trump was actually asking.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 7:51:53 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner Sylvia Garcia had just enough slip of the tongue to call the leader of Russia "Voldemort Puddin." Which I think should be made official. And now we get to hear Fiona Hill kicking Trump’s conspiracy theories in the ass. I want that as my alarm clock. Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 7:57:33 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

I really, really appreciate the House managers taking the time to dismantle the whole ugly Crowdstrike conspiracy and pointing out what Trump was really saying when he made this demand.

It bugged holy f#ck out of me every time this was passively described as just “investigating the 2016 election.”

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 7:58:40 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

And with the completion of Garcia’s section, McConnell calls for a 15 minute break. Based on past examples, that means about 35 minutes.

And the second day of the presentation from House managers is underway with a prayer from the Senate chaplain. The expectation is that today is going to focus on how the events detailed on Wednesday relate to the law — and to impeachment. It’s also expected that much of the time today will focus on defining abuse of power.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 6:09:38 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

There are 16 hours, 42 minutes left for the House to make it’s case. So expect another roughly eight hour session for Thursday.

Schiff confirms that today is dedicated to looking at the constitutional underpinning of abuse of power. Warns that there will be repetition of facts from Wednesday in the context of talking about constitutional issues.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 6:12:09 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Rather than the two hour introduction he did on Wednesday, Schiff has handed off the introduction today to Judiciary chair Jerry Nadler. Nadler is listing again the actions behind the abuse charge.

“No president has ever compelled a foreign power to help him cheat in our elections.”

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 6:13:59 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Nadler mentions how the abuse plays into the obstruction. Schiff noted that the legal case for the abuse of power charge will actually run into Friday, with the rest of Friday devoted to looking at the obstruction charge.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 6:17:23 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Nadler: “We will begin by stating the law. Then we will review the facts. Then we will apply the law to the facts.”

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 6:20:20 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Clarifying why the definition of abuse of power, and the review of how it applies to impeachment, is so vital to the case.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 6:23:55 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Nadler is starting off by defending impeachment itself. Which may seem unnecessary — except for the 10 million Republican statements about “undoing an election” and the official letter from White House counsel just this week indicating that impeachment is no longer needed.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 6:26:00 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Having defined the necessity of impeachment, Nadler is moving to he definition of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Which is a fascinating history lesson all on its own.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 6:31:52 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

With the camera locked down, I can’t see if Rand Paul is playing Nintendo during the review past impeachments.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 6:35:20 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Nadler: “All prior impeachments … have included abuse of power.”

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 6:38:34 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Nadler knee-caps the Trump defense team by showing past testimony from Alan Dershowitz defending abuse of power as a reason for impeachment. Then follows up by noting the 2018 note from William Barr making the same statement.

That was a big preemptive strike on a major part of the Trump case. 

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 6:44:57 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Don’t know if Nadler wrote all of this speech, but it’s really good. Mixes historical quotes with current facts, expands on the nature of abuse of power, deals with the concerns of the founders without making them out as godlike … it’s good.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 6:49:47 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

There needs to be a special award for every nerd on the House management team who was a member of their high school A/V Club. They've managed to call up hundreds of clips and slides, and so far haven't left America looking at a blank screen or the wrong material.

Oscars? Are you watching this?

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 6:52:39 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

And now we get the clip of Lindsey Graham arguing the definition of “high crimes” during the Clinton impeachment. 

This whole presentation may be more “polite” but it’s just as aggressive as Nadler jumping in on Tuesday evening to call Republicans voting to cover-up evidence “treacherous.” 

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 6:53:42 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Federalist 65! That’s been my go-to quote about this whole thing from the beginning. Nice to see it used here.

Thursday, Jan 23, 2020 · 7:00:57 PM +00:00 · Mark Sumner

Nadler making it clear that impeachment articles unconnected to a underlying charge of violating a law aren’t just common, but practically universal. The review may seem extensive, but the sheer repetition and list of cases here has impact.
