Glad to hear about the energy she had as an Impeachment Manager

And, @mikiebarb is digging @ her confidence in the case — in her work — in a way that’s frustrating. Of course she’s good, but I’m over here listening like:
MB: “The defense starts off praising you..”
SP: “Did they? Is that what you think that was?... I thought it was a bunch of garbage from beginning to end. I thought that they were speaking to their client and his base. I thought that was what they were doing.”

Smh. Seems like before, during, and after Republicans were standing defiant in their “unconstitutional” argument but also using gaslighting language in conversations about how/why they would vote not to convict.
MB: “You think there’s a possibility that Former Pres. Tr*mp will be held accountable outside of the Impeachment process?”
SP: “Sure. Let’s see what happens in Fulton Cty GA, in NYC with the AG, in D.C. with those charges.”
That ‘sure’ was very solid. Energy.

“When the history is written, I cannot know what the history will say, let’s hope there will be many herstorians who will be able to show the truth — the good and the bad… I’m humbled by the role that I played in it. And I know I fought my damnedest.”

Great interview and grateful for the leadership of Rep. Plaskett. Despite the mood and hopelessness that was about, she had the mindset needed:
“You cannot go into a battle thinking you’re going to lose.”
