Imminent threat is a relative term. He has deserved to be removed from the field for a long time. This was just an extremely handy time. He should have known better than to be in Iraq during and especially after the attack on our embassy. It was typical of his type of attacks. He was onsite for his own mythology. His own conceit was his undoing.
Yes, indeed it was a "handy time". Anything to distract the American people from his impeachment. ANYTHING. And that is the scariest thing about rabid cornered egomaniacal and amoral rats like Donald Trump.
What will he do if a few Republican Senators demand witnesses and documents in order to make this a REAL trial?
Doubt this is a wag the dog moment. What would he do if Republic Senators want witnesses? Probably change his story. He has vocally demanded witnesses to "exonerate" him. His boy, Mitch will handle witness requests as Mitch sees fit and safe.
Actually the way it works is that if 51 senators agree on something, then Mitch is powerless.
