That's a great point, Ray! The witnesses in the House Impeachment Inquiry all testified under oath. Trump defenders under oath? Not on their lives.
Agreed. So what's your point? The only witness that testified to having an actual conversation with the President was Sondland, and he testified that the President instructed him not to use a quid pro quo, and wanted nothing in return from Zelensky. The rest of the witnesses presumed, assumed, were told by a party of another party, of another party.
He testified there was a quid pro quo, and everyone was in the loop.
Talk to Rudy.
Nice try, but if you listen to what he said, he said he got that idea from Rudy--not Trump. So when he talked to Trump directly, Trump said no quid pro quo.
Should Giuliani testify?
We have the President telling even the President of Ukraine to get with Giuliani in his call....
Giuliani was the President's front man, and he told everyone, to follow Giuliani's direction or lead.
That is why all the diplomats who did not speak to Trump directly, knew what the President wanted done, on the Biden's, Crowdstrike, investigations, and public announcement by the Ukraine of such for the coveted D.C. visit, and aid.
They did not create this story out of the blue, it was at the direction of the President thru his direction to follow Giuliani.
Should Rudy testify to who? Lady Piglosi refuses to send the articles to the Senate. Unless Mitch goes over her head and has a hearing without the articles, then there is nobody to testify to at this point. On the other hand, Mitch should give her a time limit, and if she doesn't move them forward, the impeachment should be null and void.
But if she does send them up, Mitch has stated there will be no witnesses. It will be a flat out vote.
Sondland testified that he was not sure what Trump wanted which is why he called him direct. And Trump's own words were that he didn't want anything.
In case you haven't noticed, the House and Senate are on Holiday break right now, and not in session... they will be back January 7th, and the Senate will likely get the impeachment documents within the week of their return.
