That's how many pages of evidence the House Managers delivered to the Senate today. If the White House and the Administration had cooperated with Congress instead of stonewalling, it would have been more — a lot more, as Lev and Igor are continuing to prove.
We cats have finally recovered from Schiff's masterful Friday night performance, but it took awhile. Nancy Pelosi really, really, REALLY knew what she was doing when she tapped Schiff to be in charge. She and Schiff fundamentally understood that the Managers' audience was not going to be the Republican Senate caucus. It was going to be the American people — and American history.
Years from now, when historians write about this disaster of a Presidency, Schiff will loom extraordinarily large. In fact, the presentations of all the House Managers could be bound into a tight little book for readers who want a clear, concise understanding of WTF really happened with Benedict Donald and Ukraine. And then Schiff's closing statement last night will bring them to tears.
We do have to say one thing about Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and the other GOP Senators who are up in arms about Schiff's reference to "heads on pikes." The "heads" news flash originated with CBS News, and if the Republicans are upset, their beef is with them. (CBS is more than capable of standing by its story.) What Collins and the others — who are clearly in a box and just looking for a handy out — don't seem to realize is that their white-hot reaction to a clearly touched nerve has allowed Schiff to expose them all as cowards. We cats PURR.
