This has to be the joke of the week….
WTF would ANY lawyer agree to have his client, known for lying and having an altered view of reality, come in a get asked questions by lawyers on the record on TV?
They talked the big guy out trying this the last time and letting him go ahead a dig himself in a hole would be negligence by his lawyer’s…
Lead House impeachment manager Rep. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Md.) officially requested that former president Donald Trump testify under oath about his involvement in the events that led to the Capitol riot Jan. 6.
The letter, which Raskin sent to Trump’s lawyers Thursday, comes two days after the president’s legal team filed papers with the Senate disputing many of the factual allegations in the House managers’ case. It invites Trump to testify either before or during his actual impeachment trial, which is set to begin in the Senate on Tuesday — with the recommendation he do so between Monday and Thursday, Feb. 11.
“If you decline this invitation, we reserve any and all rights, including the right to establish at trial that your refusal to testify supports a strong adverse inference regarding your actions (and inaction) on January 6, 2021,” Raskin warned in his letter, asking for a response by Friday at 5 p.m.
The House managers do not have independent authority to subpoena Trump if he denies the request….
My Name Is Jack says
Trump won’t testify.
No damn lawyer would ever want that blabbermouth testifying .
Can you imagine the garbage he would be spewing?
Would have been entertaining as Hell though.
jamesb says
Yea Jack
Could u image where they would want to go if they got to actually showed up?
jamesb says
The answer to the Trump testify joke….
No….
My Name Is Jack says
Meanwhile,Nebraska Republicans are moving to censure Sen. Ben Sasse for his failure to support Party Leader Donald Trump.
Sasse for his part says politics isn’t about just supporting some “weird dude.”
jamesb says
Censure means more to the party then the person…
Keith says
How so James?
jamesb says
The people censured by their party will just move ahead with the word ‘censure’ just written someplace now ….
Most Republican Trump supporters don’t know what the word means and probably wouldn’t even known who was censured….
Democratic Socialist Dave says
To some, no doubt, Censure is what Twitter and the Cancel Culture are doing to real conservative patriots.
Keith says
What you have written makes absolutely no sense.
You do realize that the people issuing the censure are the activists of the Party right?
Their act of censure, a rare act, signals a problem with the base and merits a stop on Trump’s revenge tour.
jamesb says
Cheney still holds keith….
Greene is just noise now
Most of Trump people do NOT KNOW WTF censie means except in on a piece of paper….
My Name Is Jack says
That’s stupid.
Keith says
Yes Jack, it is stupid.
jamesb says
Hey Keith?
Go ask 10 Democratic voters you know if Bill Clinton was impeached?
Then ask them to ‘explain’ what a impeachment is?
Then go ask 10 Republicans the same question and ask them how many time Trump impeached?
As is pointed out here by Jack and Z…
WE KNOW what this stuff means…
But the vast majority of American’s do NOT…
They just KNOW that Trump ain’t the President anymore…
Censue and impeachment should not be getting U all excited…
They don’t mean shit to most people…
Greene is back to work again and she still is a piece of shit….
I didn’t mention she’s a woman Keith..
He, he, he…
Keith says
We were talking about local Republican organizations censuring their locally elected officials. Not impeachment.
You are, of course, once again, trying to obfuscate because you typed before you thought and you simply don’t know what you are talking about.
My point, local party organizations are behind these censures, not Congress. Local organizations that got these people elected in the first place. Of course they mean something.
jamesb says
It don’t matter Keith….
I made my point in several ways
Keith says
That is a ridiculous response James, amazing even for your level of understanding.
As Jack would say, it’s stupid. You embrace know nothing just like a Republican James.
How sad.
jamesb says
Lindsey Graham is at it again….
Dancing for and against his main man Trump….
One of former President Trump’s longtime allies in the Senate said Sunday that Trump would be remembered for his role in the events leading up to the deadly riot that overtook the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Speaking on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) indicated that he thought history would judge Trump’s responsibility for the siege that resulted in the deaths of several people, including one Capitol Police officer, but added that he did not think it was the Senate’s role to convict the former president for inciting the riot.
“Well, I mean, he’s going to have a place in history for all of this, but the point of the matter is that we’re in Congress. We’re not prosecutors. Impeachment was never meant to be a prosecution,” Graham said….

Sen. Ben Sasse to the Nebraska GOP State Central Committee: “You are welcome to censure me again. But let’s be clear about why this is happening: It’s because I still believe, as you used to, that politics isn’t about the weird worship of one dude.”
