Adam Schiff closing statement (missing about the first minute) - "We're better that that!" (Original Post) George II Nov 2019 OP
He is The Closer for a nation of laws, not men. Each closing is more epicly fiery with truth. ancianita Nov 2019 #1
I was actually looking forward to it all day. He doesn't even use many notes, most from memory. George II Nov 2019 #2
I wondered about that, because he's so well sequenced, AND high concept, AND detailed with quotes ancianita Nov 2019 #3
He was amazing. sheshe2 Nov 2019 #4

and idea examples from everywhere, from opponents to foreign speakers to founders.

I find it hard to believe it's straight from his head. If so, we need to clone him.

The balance and flow of his speeches are magnificent.

I don't even think about his looks, anymore with all his patriotic brilliance shining through.

If his closing speeches are ever published, I'm adding them to my library, and buying copies for my grandkids.

Nothing prepared. He summarizes the events after a very long day. It is instant recall.

EVERYONE knew who he was talking about. I really think he had tears in his eyes as he said that.

It was the first clip I got when I got home. I thought his previous ones were amazing. It did not prepare me for this!

I would tell him I want his babies, but I don't like antagonizing his wife, and I think my husband would object.

I am so proud to be a democrat like Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Nancy Pelosi, and all the rest. Great people to fight for all of us. Thank you all.

Every living American should hear this. This man will go down in history as a legend.







Thank you, George, for posting this. I was not able to be home at the time it was televised.

We are better than that, at least the Democrats and liberal-independent voters are. I won't say that for the GOP, but anyway. This speech is magnificent and spine-chilling.

For those who don't have time for the entire speech, skip ahead to about 15:00 and listen to the end. You'll get the gist of it in the last 4 minutes.
