"Washington (CNN)Senators are soon going to start seeing Adam Schiff in their sleep."



Washington (CNN)Senators are soon going to start seeing Adam Schiff in their sleep.

The lead House impeachment manager is relentlessly pressuring the handful of Republican jurors who are considering a vote to call witness and delay the acquittal that President Donald Trump craves from his impeachment trial.
Heading into the final day of his effort to build a devastating case, the indefatigable California Democrat is deploying every trick in the prosecutor's arsenal as he weaves a narrative of an unchained presidency hour after grueling hour.
Schiff became emotional late on Thursday as he pleaded with Republican senators to turn against their President, arguing that America would be "lost" if the truth of Trump's conduct in Ukraine did not emerge.

Pray, meditate, hope or whatever that this comes out right.

If not, we may well be in for the darkest chapter in the history of this Republic.

I expect there to be both surprises and unintended consequences that turn things around.

Even if they can't consciously bring themselves to break ranks and defy their criminal leader, deep down inside republicans know the truth. If they don't do the right thing now, that unshakeable cancer will eat at them from the inside out. The question is, do they even care.

Maybe they got something good lingering way deep inside. Just a little crumb of decency?

The Senate Republicans either love trump or (more likely) fear him and will protect Trump to protect themselves.

Republican Senators are all blind. They'll never know what hit them.
