Adam Schiff

Let's imagine it wasn't Joe Biden. Let's imagine it was any one of us. Let's imagine the most powerful person in the world was asking a foreign nation to conduct a sham investigation into one of us.

Now you'll also hear the defense -- the president said there was no quid pro quo. This is a well-known principle of criminal law that if the defendant says he didn't do it he couldn't have done it. That doesn't hold up in any court in the…

They buy-in to that propaganda meant that Ukraine wasn't going to get money to fight the Russians. I mean, that's one hell of a Russian intelligence coup.

This is just the most incredible propaganda coup. He won't read his own national security staff talking points but he will read the Kremlin ones.

Do you think if we do nothing it's going to stop now?

Give America a fair trial. She's worth it.

This is a man who cannot be trusted to be president of the United States to put the U.S.'s interests first and foremost above his own.

We know the president's guilty, whether or not you're willing to come out and admit that, you know what he did was wrong.

You can say a lot of things about President Trump but he is not led by the nose by Rudy Giuliani.

That's the word of America we gave and we're breaking that word. Why? For help with a political campaign? Ambassador Taylor was exactly right, that's crazy. It's worse than crazy, it's repulsive, it's repugnant, it breaks our word.

The president this unapologetic. This lawless, this unbound to the Constitution and the oath of office must be removed from that office.

There is no question that President Trump intended in pressing the Ukraine leader to look into his political rival.

Just as he solicited help from Ukraine in 2019, in 2016, then candidate Trump also solicited help from Russia in his election effort.

If it matters to us, we should care about the fact that in 1994, when we asked them to give up their nuclear weapons that they had inherited from the Soviet Union and they didn't want to give them up... we will help assure your territorial…

Let's get real, how can blocking witnesses from telling the truth about the President's misconduct help preserve the Office of the Presidency?

If he can't be indicted and he can't be impeached, and he can't be removed, then he can't be held accountable.

Witnesses matter. Documents matter. Evidence matters. The truth matters.

The president cannot insulate himself from Congress' investigations of his wrongdoing.

President Trump's complete and total obstruction makes Richard Nixon look like a choir boy.

This is America, no one is above the law.

You've testified that Mulvaney was aware of this quid pro quo of this condition that the Ukrainians had to meet that is announcing these public investigations to get the White House meetings, is that right?

President Trump cannot function as judge, jury and executioner of our democracy.

Complete and total presidential obstruction is unprecedented in American history.

President Trump is personally responsibility for depriving the senate of information important to consider in this trial.

The president didn't like the way the subpoenas were issued even the court already ruled on this issue and said no, Mr. President, you don't get to decide whether a subpoena is valid or not in an impeachment proceeding. That's the sole…
