I guess you don't personally mind the president lying to you several times a day every day. Perhaps not under oath, but as Lindsey Graham said, a president need not commit a crime to have an impeachable offense. In this case, Trump has committed a crime, has lied about it and has tried to cover it up. Add that to the 12,000 documented lies he has told during his presidency. |
Oh, he’s also now threatened a whistleblower with death. What a horrible person he is; he’s not fit to work the kitchen in the federal pen let alone occupy the highest office in the land. He’s a less sympathetic character than Tony Soprano. Everyone was sad when that show ended. We’ll be relieved when this one finally does. |

It inspires joy to see the wheels in motion, to see how quickly these things can come together. And to see that they've articulated that failure to comply is obstruction. |
I don't know how to link Twitter, but would welcome thought's on Trump's new lying campaign ad spread via the twitter. |
And sorry for the typos! |
I hate the lying. It terrifies me that people will believe him. It terrifies me and sickens me that people are willing to go along with his lies. I think he's degraded communication and - obviously - trust, overall. It's awful. It's dangerous. I hate it. |
If there ends up being a hearing, can't Trump subpoena others? Doesn't this give them the opportunity to question Biden, Clinton, etc. Could this backfire? |
Trump doesn’t control any of this process. |
Question for the experts: Can any of these people, and more importantly, people like Pompea, Barr, Pence, Mnuchin, etc., request immunity for testimony in this type of forum? If they wanted to cut and run, could they provide damning info with some sort of personal protection? |
I would assume he is allowed to have a defense, can’t he question people as part of that defense? |
That’s not in the House portion. |
House is deciding whether to draw up articles of impeachment. If they do so, the Senate holds a trial presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. That’s when Trump can offer a defense. |
