Well this is strange..Trump passes up chance to be the center of it all

[meaner gene]

Oh, trump wants to testify and 'get back at all those haters" but his lawyers are smarter than that and won't let trump testify, because they KNOW he can't avoid lying. And that would be bad.

His lawyers actually have a legal responsibility to keep their client from testifying if they know he'll lie.

Like it was for Clapper, Brennan, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, and Hillary?

Oh that's right, Reich members are above the law....

I remember all of them having the balls to testify in front of congress

And the politicians behind this joke also have a responsibility not to abuse their power. Impeachment was not designed to comply with the narrative.

All of those people testified under oath. Trump and whatever attorney general de jour he had at the time, had 4 years to get an indictment. And despite claiming how many of them would be in jail, none of them even came close.

Compare to all the "innocent" people Trump had around him, like Flynn, Stone, Manafort, Cohen, Bannon, Papadapoulous ....

 

[meaner gene]

Since President Trump can't be removed from office if he loses this case, it seems a rather pointless exercise.

Why not put up a wager with Sleepy Joe? Hair vs. hair. If Trump wins acquittal, Biden has to have his head shaved. If Trump were convicted, The Donald will take a head shaving? The "Battle of the Presidents".

Biden has hair to lose.

Those were all political. It amounts to persecution for intimidation purposes and had 0 to do with justice.

That you want assholes that pull that kind of crap running this country is amazing and very sad at the same time.

The only thing Trump is passing up is another perjury trap.

It's only a perjury trap if you're guilty.
Innocent people can't be forced to lie.

Those are hair plugs. They will be there long after his death.

No, it is not. The law is no longer enforced it is manipulated for political reasons. That is what Communists do.

Trump lied for months and a mob rushed the Capitol because of those lies. Do you think there should be any accountability for that?! If not impeachment then what?

Trump did not lie. There was massive fraud.

No they’re wasnt. You apparently believe the lies. Do you also believe that Pence could have legally rejected the votes?

Most were charged, indicted, put on trial, convicted, sentenced and imprisoned. Their guilt was proven by a unanimous jury verdict.

Ah.... this is the reason why Trumps lawyers can't afford to let Trump testify in front of congress.

If there was massive fraud, and Trump in fact should still be president, then congress has the power to impeach and try Trump as 45th president.

Their entire defense that the impeachment isn't legal because Trump is no longer in office, would disappear. And republicans would be forced to convict Trump.

 

[whitehall]

They want to impeach a president who isn't even in office WTF? Any excuse to deflect attention from a freaking brain damaged elected president who is reduced to speaking in short sentences while sitting down.

Why would the Republicans, or anyone, be forced to convict an innocent man?

IMHO, Donald J. Trump is going to be exonerated by the full Senate in the upcoming trial. If CNN was smart, they would pay Trump to testify to boost the ratings and earn massive ad revenues. With Trump in the witness stand, it will be "must see" TV, otherwise CNN will continue to lag behind reruns of Gilligan's Island in the ratings war.

 

[BlackSand]

I think Trump was excited at the prospect of coming back to D.C and testifying at his impeachment trial. A chance to whine in front of the media about how he 'wuz robbed'. A narcissist's dream. That is until his lawyers whispered in his ear..'you will have to do it under oath'..those two words almost gave him a heart attack..under oath...Trump Will Not Testify In Senate Impeachment Trial, Adviser Says

More like he has nothing to lose telling the Senate he doesn't care about their ridiculous Kangaroo Court, and they can go pound sand ...

[whitehall]

Democrat regimes like the Clintons killed people. Barry Hussein is guilty of signing off on a insane operation to send thousands of illegal weapons to Mexico which were used by drug cartels to murder thousands of innocent Mexican citizens and (so far) one American Border Patrol officer. Now that democrats are in charge again they want to impeach a president who isn't even in office. WTF?
