November 18, 2019: Let Trump Come Forth and Testify Under Oath

 

11/18/19: A second week of public testimony begins. It would be safe to say the first week ended with President Twitter Thumbs in a dark place. His mood is not likely to improve if aides let him see the results of an ABC poll. Seven in ten Americans believe his efforts to get Ukraine to dig up dirt and help him win the 2020 election were wrong. Nearly six in ten (57%) believe he should be impeached, including 6% who think he should be impeached but allowed to remain in office. 

Only 1 in 4 Americans believes the president did nothing wrong. Even the First Lady probably knows he did. 

See: Stormy Daniels, et. al.

We can expect that number in favor of impeachment to continue to rise if Speaker Nancy Pelosi manages to call the president’s bluff. Republican lawmakers have been insisting that the whole impeachment inquiry is rigged and wrong and an abomination. Why can’t the president (and a lawyer or two to tag along) defend himself? Pelosi has invited Mr. Trump to do just that. Come before the House Intelligence Committee and tell your side of the story. 

“If he has information that is exculpatory, that means ‘ex,’ taking away, ‘culpable,’ blame, then we look forward to seeing it,” she said during an appearance on Face the Nation. The president, she explained, “could come right before the committee and talk, speak all the truth that he wants if he wants.” 

And like a lemming rushing for the cliff – if a lemming had the capacity to lie – Trump has said that he just might do it!

 

It took a pair of tweets to say he might, but you could feel the fury in the president’s thumbs as he tapped: 

Our Crazy, Do Nothing (where’s USMCA, infrastructure, lower drug pricing & much more?) Speaker of the House, Nervous Nancy Pelosi, who is petrified by her Radical Left knowing she will soon be gone (they & Fake News Media are her BOSS), suggested on Sunday’s DEFACE THE NATION....

 

....that I testify about the phony Impeachment Witch Hunt. She also said I could do it in writing. Even though I did nothing wrong, and don’t like giving credibility to this No Due Process Hoax, I like the idea & will, in order to get Congress focused again, strongly consider it!

 

So: to sum up. Trump will “consider it.” This is reminiscent of his claim that he looked forward to testifying under oath in the Mueller probe, which he never managed to do. Pelosi is “crazy.” The “Fake News Media” is terrible because they keep reporting what witnesses say. The whole impeachment inquiry is a “No Due Process Hoax,” even though all the witnesses testifying last week did so with Republicans having equal time to question what they said.
