Trump has made it clear he wants no trial, no witnesses, no documents, no verdict. He wants the case dismissed, so Americans never know the extent of his efforts to get Ukraine to help him cheat in the election. But the Senators must decide: will they insist on a fair trial? — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Americans overwhelmingly want a fair trial in the Senate, fair to the President and fair to the people. If McConnell succeeds in blocking witnesses and documents in the Senate, it will be the first such trial in history. That's not a trial. Just a cover up. https://t.co/b1UwGVMQxY — PolitiTweet.org

Trump said on Fox that the intelligence showed Iran plotting against four of our embassies. As a member of the Gang of 8, that was news to me. Now, Esper says this was not intelligence, only Trump’s personal belief. That’s no basis to take us to the brink of war. https://t.co/G2VRkoW9QE — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve been a member of the Intel Committee for over a decade. Been briefed hundreds of times on threats — some imminent, some not. When targeting a top gov’t official for killing: “We don’t know precisely when and we don’t know precisely where,” does not constitute “imminent.” — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

A Senate trial should be like any other trial. Senators should hear from witnesses. Senators should see the documents. Only then can they make the best possible decision regarding the President's misconduct. Once upon a time, Mitch McConnell felt the same. https://t.co/ilblPGgwZM — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The Constitution is clear: Congress—not the President—has the power to declare war. The House JUST voted to reassert our constitutional duty and rein in a reckless president. He has isolated us from our allies, increased the risk of a nuclear-armed Iran, and made us less safe. https://t.co/imKsEkumPX — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump doesn’t want the public to how much taxpayers are spending on his: ❌ Golfing ❌ Hotel visits ❌ Travel You get the idea. I’ve introduced a bill to require disclosure of spending that enriches the President. We have a right to know how Trump spends our money. — PolitiTweet.org

With reports of missile strikes launched by Iran against U.S. bases in Iraq, my thoughts and prayers are with our service members, diplomats and other personnel at risk, and with their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Why is a disorganized and chaotic Administration such a danger to national security? This actually happened: They sent a letter — by mistake — to the Iraqi government to inform them our counter-ISIS forces are withdrawing. The dysfunction starts at the top. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

A dangerous and provocative decision to target a top Iranian official for killing. Threats to bomb cultural sites and use disproportionate force. These are the acts of a President with no functional national security process. Congress must engage with hearings and constraints. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Compelled by our duty to Constitution and country, the House impeached President Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The Senate must now do its duty and conduct a fair trial. These are the key facts you need to remember about Trump's misconduct: https://t.co/JgXv5IUnwK — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Bolton is an important witness to misconduct involving Ukraine that he called a “drug deal.” Bolton refused to testify in the House, following Trump’s orders. Now he is willing to come forward. The Senate must allow testimony from him, Mulvaney and others. The coverup must end. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Here are the questions every Senator must ask themselves: Do we want the American people to see and hear the full evidence, including documents and witnesses? Do we want a real trial? Or, do we want a coverup? It’s really that simple. https://t.co/9396pgZww0 — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

After seeing the intel, I don’t believe it supports conclusion that killing Soleimani will stop Iranian plotting or reduce risk to American lives. Trump’s decision does, however, increase likelihood of war with Iran and threaten our gains against ISIS. It was a reckless move. https://t.co/yx33Q7KVqY — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

As additional documents are revealed, and new information about Trump’s abuse of power comes to light, we learn more and more about the extent of his cover-up. Senators must ensure they see these and other documents related to the President’s scheme. A fair trial requires it. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Soleimani was responsible for unthinkable violence and world is better off without him. But Congress didn’t authorize and American people don’t want a war with Iran. All steps must now be taken to protect our forces against the almost inevitable escalation and increased risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Read my full statement on these new documents detailing President Trump's decision to withhold military aid to Ukraine: https://t.co/J1YMoL5Hem — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

These new documents highlight Trump's direct role in withholding military aid, and the Administration’s efforts to hide it from Congress. We subpoenaed them, and they refused. Now we know why. A fair Senate trial requires all documents be produced. What else is Trump hiding? — PolitiTweet.org

Happy New Year! May you and your family enjoy good health and happiness in the year ahead. https://t.co/9Cm1BqTAjc — PolitiTweet.org

First, Trump said he wanted a trial in the Senate. Then, he said he wanted to hear from witnesses. Now, he wants the case dismissed — without either. The President is afraid of hearing from witnesses, but the Senate should not be. The American people deserve a fair trial. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The storming of our embassy in Baghdad by protestors and Iran-backed militias is deeply disturbing. The first priority is the safety of our personnel. Iraq has an obligation to protect them. Once secure, we need to be clear-eyed about reducing tensions and the path forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

.@RepJohnLewis has always fought for what he believes in. And now more than ever, America needs his unparalleled commitment to build a more just and equitable future. He will fight this. He will beat this. His fight is not done. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Despite the President’s obstruction, additional damning evidence of his abuse of power continues to come to light. The question is whether the Senate will demand to see these and other emails and hear from those who were involved. Their constitutional duty demands it. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

I am deeply disturbed by the steep rise in anti-Semitic violence. The latest attack happened last night at a rabbi's home, during a Hannukah celebration. My thoughts are with the community and those who were injured. There is no place for this hate in our society. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Horrified by terrorist bombing in Mogadishu, Somalia which killed at least 78 people. Many victims were young students returning to university. Too early to say for sure, but the attack bears the hallmark of al-Shabab. Another grim reminder of the terror threat that remains. — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing a very Merry Christmas to all those celebrating today. May this holiday season bring joy, peace, and blessings to you and your loved ones! https://t.co/iq047xBHt9 — PolitiTweet.org

Impeachment of a president is a serious undertaking. The Senate’s role is to act as an impartial jury and provide a fair trial. Fair to the President and to the American people. That means seeing all the evidence, documents and witnesses. What is McConnell afraid of? — PolitiTweet.org

This sentence is a continuation of the Kingdom’s effort to distance Saudi leadership, including the Crown Prince, from the brutal assassination of a journalist and U.S. resident, Jamal Khashoggi. This was a premeditated murder, not a “snap decision” or rogue operation. — PolitiTweet.org
