Unfortunately, this "trial" has nothing whatsoever to do with that.

i mean it kind of does. The whole idea behind the “insurrection” they are claiming is that Trump lied about voter fraud.

Seems like arguing your case that there was voter fraud is only fair

You fricking idiot, this is a fricking Maoist show trial, nothing more, and he will not be treated fairly no matter what he does or says.

You are a liar if you say otherwise.

They have accused him of actions that constitute treason and sedition (i.e., crimes).

Pretty sure he has 5th Amendment protections (and, yes, I know this is not a judicial proceeding; however, you know the AG or SDNY USA would love to use his testimony against him in their show trials)

He would still have 5th Amendment protections. What the Ds are trying to say is that, like in many civil litigation settings, if you invoke the 5th at a civil setting then the judge can take a negative inference by your refusal to testify. A criminal court cannot take a negative inference from refusal to testify. However, the Rs are saying this isn't a civil litigation in front of a judge. This is a unique setting that does not follow rules of civil procedure and evidence in the same manner as in a court room. This is a specially conducted hearing with the rules set forth in the Constitution. The Ds are basically using the Constitution when it suits their argument and ignoring it when it doesn't, which has been pretty par for the course for them for years. Literally nothing about this hearing is grounded in Constitutionality. If the SCOTUS does their job, they are going to make that very clear or set a very dangerous precedent moving forward. Unfortunately, I have lost a lot of faith in them over the past several months

No kidding. Trump should stay as far away from that fenced in prison as possible.

I don't know how anyone is working inside those fenced in areas. As corrupt as most of Washington is, if I was one, I would be nervous a hell.

Trump wants to argue that he was justified in complaining about fraud because there was fraud.

We’ve heard about the Kracken and the irrefutable evidence so why not go show it for the whole world to see?


Donald Trump is on Trail for Fomenting Insurrection against the United States of America on 6 Jan 2021. How do you figure that he will be allowed to put evidence on the record that the election was stolen by fraud? Do you think that he would be allowed to present fraud evidence as though he were in charge of the trail?

Perjury trap. Proves without doubt that they have NOTHING. Will still be spun by MSM Propaganda Machine as a negative against President Trump.

Trump rejects & won't testify

This is the only proper response.

All the "evidence" of "inciting insurrection" is already out there. It's available everywhere, for EVERYONE WITH A BRAIN to see and process.

They have nothing.

Boosie wants it because he knows darn well it is a perjury trap.

BTW: Trump lost half of his wealth. He should have taken the POTUS pay

Keep in mind the insanity of the Democrat Party. The reason Hillary was fired from her first job was due to discarding research material in the trail of Richard Nixon. She also screamed that Nixon had no rights according to the Constitution ...Yet the Constitution dictated he had all rights. Those are the reasons she was fired. Considering the level of deceit and lies from the Democrats ....no one in their right mind stands before a a kangaroo court. Especially one in which the Chief Justice states he wants nothing to do with the insanity.

This is not a trial before the Senate .....the Constitution says this trail doesn't exist.

The requirement that the President be accused of high crimes or misdemeanors certainly leads credence to the notion that this is more analogous to a criminal proceeding than a civil proceeding.

Hence, I can't see how they would/should be allowed to view a refusal to testify in a negative connotation.

House Democrats on Thursday asked Donald Trump to testify under oath for his Senate impeachment trial


I thought that they did not want to have witnesses called? Now that they do, let’s bring in Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, AOC, and the gang to testify as well. It’s only reasonable if they can to call witnesses and subpoena Trump then his team can subpoena their witnesses too

The Democratic Party and the American Left have their sights set on seeing to it that Donald J. Trump dies penniless, so, his fight has just begun, and, like always, he will be totally on his own. He will have difficulty finding competent legal representation because any lawyer that defends Trump will be targeted for retribution by The Wash DC Establishment.
