Quotes[]

Adam Schiff: How do you propose to convict Mr. Russo?
Jamie Ross: Flores confessed. We can't use it against him, but maybe we can use it against Russo.
Adam Schiff: Yeah. He lent money to someone who killed two people. Since when is that a crime?
Jamie Ross: It proves one element of the fact pattern.
Adam Schiff: The only pattern here is that you have no facts!
Can we swing by my house? I would really like to see the new Christmas lights.

–Sam Russo
