The plot is intricate, but the math is simple.
The latter requires senators and the public to understand only that "two plus two equals four," Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the lead House manager in President Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial, said Wednesday.
That basic math is all it takes, he argued, to conclude that Trump prioritized his own interests over national security by using foreign aid as leverage to force Ukraine into helping his re-election effort. The Ukrainians knew the score "they're not stupid," Schiff said and he left unspoken his thoughts on the intellectual capacity of senators who couldn't or wouldn't perform the same addition with the facts in front of them.
And yet Schiff and his fellow House prosecutors also began to lay out labyrinthine details that punched home the thoroughness of the record against a president who appeared to have boasted earlier in the day that he is withholding more evidence from Congress and the public. It was the first time and, because the prosecutors repeated the facts, the second, third and fourth times that the full timeline had been presented, along with videotaped testimony from the House's investigation, from end to end.
The evidence was "overwhelming," Carol Lam, a former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of California, said on NBC as the Senate broke for dinner Wednesday night.
The recitation of appendix-like particulars may have sounded arcane, but they were necessary to support the allegations in the two articles of impeachment the House approved last month.

Yeah, unless you’re using Common Core Math, in which case 2+2=whatever you want.
Can Shifty count to 67?
Perhaps we should be rounded up and ‘Reeducated’ so we can all think like a Democrat.
Ive done 100s of trials over 35 years. Whenever my client is the one going second he/she is so depressed and thinks its a lost cause. I preferred going second. Sure, the other side gets to rebut new evidence but by then the trier of fact is thinking about what groceries to buy on the way home.
What’s with the pile of “poop” on the top of Adam Schitt’s head? Dead center on the top of his head.
“The plot is intricate, but the math is simple.”
These are the same people who push common core math.
Nothing could be more complicated than a common core democrat explaining things.
I think in order to be forcing someone to do something, you actually have to be forcing them. Like saying “if you don’t do what I want, I’m going to take away your money”, or “if you investigate Joe Biden, We are going to stop voting you money”.
Just watch My Cousin Vinny explain the prosecutions case using a playing card. This is what Schiff is doing. Except hes not very good at it.
....
Exactly! I loved how he showed the jury the prosecution’s case was an illusion!
BTW, this was a great, funny movie!
The Democrats should be banished to Wazoo!
They didn't stop at four.
The problem is misstated. Should be 2i+ 2i. Because the crime is imaginary.
How about x+y=4?
Trust us that x and y are two...but we need more evidence!

Reality. It is a beautiful thing.
