Face The Nation: Swalwell says House has evidence of "extortion scheme" by Trump

[NotASurfer]

6. Extortion, bribery, witness intimidation

I'd hammer those home every opportunity. Impeachment and trial have components of public image and public opinion, advising politics. The more that all the blatant criminal acts can be embedded in public consciousness, the more plausible conviction becomes.

Wouldn't hurt to see Guiliani indicted and deemed a flight risk in that regard. Wouldn't hurt for House committees to issue subpoenas, even if enforcement is a non-starter in practical terms. Subpoena is a term associated with criminal prosecution in the public arena, reinforcing the image.

Long-term, whether Senate convicts or not, painting the whole Administration and its supporters as a criminal organization acting in a criminal manner to criminally cover up criminal acts, creates a stark moral choice for voters in 2020. You'll never bleed off the kool-ade level support, but uniting the other 70% of the country with a moral imperative to VOTE ought to be enough.
