Schiff in closing speech claims that if Trump is unchecked, he wants to sell Russia the state of Alaska.
Schiff claims Trump has talked about this situation in the past.
I do not think one can sell a State!

I do recall him mentioning it, way back.
And in winter the Russians can just nip across the Bering Straight to go home. Or maybe there will be a road bridge. The 'Trumpski Bridge' ?
Mind you, old Donald likes a joke.

www.nytimes.com/2020/01/22/opinion/trump-trial-impeachment.html"Or suppose Trump fawned over Vladimir Putin to the point of returning Alaska to Russia? As it happens, Alaska isn’t my example, but that of Alan Dershowitz, the president’s lawyer. “Assume Putin decides to ‘retake’ Alaska, the way he ‘retook’ Crimea,” Dershowitz wrote in a 2018 book. “Assume further that a president allows him to do it, because he believed that Russia has a legitimate claim to ‘its’ original territory.” Even that would not merit impeachment and removal by Dershowitz’s standards. Note to Alaska senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan: Your thoughts, comrades?"

Dershowitz has set a precedent that will come back to haunt him.
Possibly if needed in the future he will have studied the constitution a little more and now finds he was wrong and some other definition of 'High Crime and Misdemeanor' is appropriate.
Don't you just love lawyers.

And he's already bought Trump. Trump, trumped Schiff, and from the looks of it, seems obvious that Schiff, schiffed his pants... |
