Incredible!! Just listened to Schiff's opening statement to intelligence committee hearing!

[bobbieinok]

He makes the situation very clear.

No yelling, no screaming, no hand-waving.

Just quietly and in simple, straightforward, easy to understand words.

A speech for the history books.

A great tragedy that such a speach was and is necessary.

3. He had me in tears while driving during his opening remarks at the first hearing.

The man can do public speaking. He's another Obama.
