President Donald Trump on Tuesday called the House’s impeachment inquiry into his actions as president a “kangaroo court.” That, Trump said, justified the State Department’s move to block the ambassador to the European Union from testifying to Congress.
Weird for such a fan of kangaroo (read: rigged) courts to dis them like that.
Democrats should be asking, over and over and over, this question (even though the answer is obvious): WHY IS DONALD TRUMP AFRAID OF THE TRUTH?
…but unfortunately he would be testifying before a totally compromised kangaroo court, where Republican’s rights have been taken away, and true facts are not allowed out for the public…

@thunderclapnewman, I think your cartoon of the plane and the twin towers needs to be here, just in case anyone missed it the first time.
Constitutional crisis, anyone?
They called Obama “lawless.” Like, constantly. Remember that? Good times.
It is beyond comprehension how this mental midget remains in the office of the President! If he truly believes Sondland would support his no collusion propaganda why would he hold him back from testifying?
Trump appears to be in full panic mode now: no longer the ginger git with his finger in the dike but the monster facing the torch carrying villagers.
It is clear, He is off his meds again. Seriously thou, this is a very dangerous situation. The leader of our country is bat shit crazy and the Republicans keep saying, “nothing out of the ordinary here.” It is as much a reflection on Republican office holders as it is on the occupant of the Oval Office.
Precedent.
Sorry, Trump. This is an impeachment inquiry. You can’t block witnesses from testifying. This has to go on fast track to SCOTUS.
Remember this oldie but goodie
“Elections have consequences”
Just not in the House
Sondland was of course more than happy to take the easy out that the White House gave him, because he is deep in this and I’m sure the evidence backs this up. It will be interesting to see if Taylor chooses to go ahead and testify when he inevitably gets called on to do so.
Dear Donnie,
That “kangaroo court” is empowered for oversight by the U.S. Constitution, in case you didn’t know that.
Signed,
American citizen who went to civics class
Arrest Sondland and defund the White House.
I guess what’s the point on going to testify, if you will have to plead the fifth? This guy was involved not only in political dirty tricks but on shady business deals too. People never learn don’t shit in the place you eat!
Now try coming up with an actual legal basis for your obstruction, Donnie. Cause “they’re being mean to me” ain’t gonna work.
What’s the penalty for not testifying? There needs to be an immediate downside.
Sure noncompliance adds to the obstruction charge, but unless these bastards are collected at their homes or offices and taken in cuffs, why not obstruct?
Trump “Tried to” Justify Blocking Sondland’s Testimony
