I like how he throws around "but what about Clinton and the Russians!?" which one, is ridiculous and two, is an admission that he realizes "..with the russians" is a bad thing.

Though it is telling that he full on does not realize the nuance of why all of their meetings with Russia in the last year or two are troubling, and under investigation, while older meetings, of people not in his inner circle, are not.
I can't listen directly so if someone will update as it goes along with the big things that'd be awesome.
he just broke down their objectives, which included
2 - It's clear that there was no wiretapping on Trump Tower, but that does not remove the possibility of other surveillance on president Trump or his associates during the campaign.
"If anyone aided and abetted the Russians, it would not only be a serious crime, it would be one of the most shocking betrayals of democracy in history."
He made a clear accusation that Russia distributed their information through Wikileaks in exchange for a Trump administration that relaxed sanctions and simultaneously criticized NATO allies.
I mean, Jesus, he's laying out a clear and fucking damning timeline of, at the very least, Trump associates being heavily in bed with Russia for years.
Schiff: Trump then hires Flynn, who is uncovered to have lied about his ties to russia to the vp. The press uncover this lie, and Trump is forced to fire him. Trump then praises the man who lied, and castigates the press who uncovered that lie.

Good, one thing I think people have missed in the sporadic nature of this coverage is the overall timeline of events and contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia. Laying this out clearly and at one time is a good move.

that timeline was good. Schiff wants to set a tone here, and I feel like he was successful.

Paraphrasing: "This war is not communism vs capitalism, but authoritarianism vs democracy, and the opponent sees our electoral process as a field of battle."

I know CBS News said they'll have one.
Lot of "what about this? what about that! wah wah wah"
He makes babies look grounded and mature
She's like the biggest Russian Hawk on the democrat platform and Puting fucking hates her.

The point just sails wide past him.
Because he's an idiot.

I'll do what I can. It's just Nunes summarizing the issues and goal of the hearings right now.
It's already so frustrating. He basically preemptively blamed Obama for anything Putin may or may not have done.

Which the WH will cling to.
Fuck yeah.
Schiff
EDIT: He has 15 mins for his opening statement.
I'm dumbstruck at what Schiff is saying right now.

yeah he's getting super specific
I'm so worried that this will be the case.
This is the kind of thing that needs to interrupt every single TV station so everyone can see this.
It's a fucking Tom Clancy novel come to life. Mind blowing is the only worthy descriptor.

Schiff's opening statement was productive as hell for someone with an attention span greater than that of a guppy.
So useless to most people.
