'Subpoena Kevin McCarthy If You Have To'; Democrats Urged To Bring Witnesses After Bombshell Report On Trump Call

[GWV5903]

I keep hearing Trump critics saying he did nothing for 6 hours....when in fact he did what he could...but was thwarted by Big Tech at every opportunity.

The President of the US is incapable of communicating without Twitter?

Trump was sending tweets before, during and after the mob attack on Congress. He called them patriots and said he loved them.

They are Patriots and they should have burned the place to the ground!!

The Senate has no power to force anyone to testify.

Dems are in a panic because their case blew up in their faces. They got caught falsifying evidence and could get 20 years in jail if the Feds had the balls to prosecute the House Managers.

Apparently you have no idea what you're talking about. The senate has subpoena power as an inherent power of that body. And as a civil case witnesses have no blanket 5th amendment protection, but can only assert it on a question by question basis.

I would like them to subpoena WH staff and aids to testify what Trump was doing while the attacks were ongoing and what he was saying. Also, who was urging him to do something.

Agreed. I also want them to call Maryland governor Larry Hogan, to testify that he was ready to send in the national guard, but was refused by Trumps Secretary of Defense.

"I was ready, willing and able to immediately deploy [National Guard] to the Capitol, however we were repeatedly denied approval to do so," Hogan said.

Gov. Hogan: Leaders of Congress 'pleaded' with Maryland to send aid to the Capitol

Hogan said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer begged him to send Maryland's National Guard to the Capitol, but DOJ initially denied the request.

Dems said using the national guard against protesters was bad. Were they lying?

 

[Crepitus]

The problem is, and democrats are too stupid to realize this, is that KM won't say Trump planned this riot.

Why would you think anyone thinks he would say that?

Lol

Their testimony would be covered by executive privilege. As what they told Trump would be considered advise to the president, which is not subject to discovery, since that would serve to muzzle the free flow of advice to and from the president.

The problem is, and democrats are too stupid to realize this, is that KM won't say Trump planned this riot. All he can say is when I told him to stop it, he said no. He's not obligated to listen to KM on anything and it doesn't prove what the charge is, planning an insurrection.

It's like an arsonist telling the firemen "let it burn"
While not proof he started the fire, it proves he wanted the fire started.

Because he's your star witness supposedly proving that trump planned this riot. Even you admit that didn't happen.

Thanks for playing.

If he would have been charged with dereliction of duty, that's a whole 'nuther ball game. But you can't say he didn't try to stop it so he planned it. That's not true. All the evidence shows is that at worst, Trump didn't do enough to stop it. But lets not get into the fact that capital security falls on Pelosis lap as her responsibility, not Trumps.

It relates to the Defense position that Trump wanted a peaceful and patriotic protest.

If that is true, why did he do nothing when it became obvious the protest was anything but peaceful?

Why didn't Pelosi? Shes in charge of capitol security.

She may be called as a witness...

Which will be a huge mistake by Trumps attorney. Nancy Pelosi will destroy him.

I think there is some confusion in this article.
They claimed that the DOJ rejected his request, which I don't believe.....but the DOJ and the DOD are two different entities.
The DOJ is the Attorney General and the Department of Justice.....and has nothing to do with the Secretary of Defense which is in charge of the Department of Defense.

Does that executive privilege extend past their employment?
How long do they need to remain silent?

Democrats are getting desperate in the attempt to prove Trump planned an insurrection obviously.

Uh...calling witnesses is desperate? Ha...by what standard?

The president, even the ex-president, can invoke executive privilege for all conversations during his term of president. The privilege is necessary to protect review of presidential advice. As if someone in the future could discover who told the president what, that would muzzle future advisors, who would have to worry if their advice could be discovered and used against them in the future.

Republicans complain the proceedings are too rushed and then that they are too late.
They complain there are no actual witnesses and then vote against witnesses.

Yep, the plot thickens and things are getting dicy for the Short-Fingered Vulgarian Sociopath.

By the house standard apparently. Why didnt the house call them? That's their job. The senate is supposed to debate the houses findings. But the house found nothing, and just snap impeached him. So the senate now has to do the house's job.

The democrats also closed their case the other day. They can't go back and say now lets call witnesses. They know they get their asses handed to them and this is one last flop of a dying fish.

Update:

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the lead House impeachment manager, said Saturday morning that his team will seek to subpoena Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) to testify before the Senate about her knowledge of a phone conversation between Donald Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) that took place during the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

"When McCarthy finally reached the president on January 6 and asked him to publicly and forcefully call off the riot, the president initially repeated the falsehood that it was antifa that had breached the Capitol," Herrera Beutler said in a statement late Friday. "McCarthy refuted that and told the president that these were Trump supporters. That's when, according to McCarthy, the president said, 'Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.'"

The Senate voted by a margin of 55-45 Saturday morning to open the door to calling witnesses.

We know that the majority of the Trump cult in the Senate, even if Trump murdered someone on 5th Avenue, would not vote to convict him, ain't gonna happen. This trial is for the American voters to not only judge Trump for themselves, but also to judge his enablers in the Trump cult in congress. They act in concert, they are complicit together, and the American voters need to see it.

Because they wanted to pass the articles quickly. That was a softball question.

And the american people can see this for what it is, a political ploy by a party that knows they'll lose the congress in 2022 and are terrified Trump will come back better and stronger than ever in 2024 because they know they got away with a stolen election in 2020 but know that shit can't happen twice.
