When it is available, I recommend everyone watch both Nunes’ and Schiff’s closing statements from the deposition today. In particular, pay attention to who had to read from notes and who didn’t, and who actually addressed facts instead of complaining about how “unfair” the whole process is. Schiff’s 15 minute speech gave me chills. ---
