Trump Says He Will ‘Strongly Consider’ Written Testimony For Impeachment Probe

Volker is a career and experienced diplomat. It’s not that he’s a bad guy, but he appears to be a go along to get along kind of guy. Ryan Goodman seems to think he was truthful about what Giuliani and his dynamic duo were doing, but lied to cover his own exposure in the matter.

The inquiry is already legitimate. Ultimately, the Courts are going to decide that his staff and Cabinet do indeed have to answer their subpoenas. He might be able to get a few off that hook by claiming Executive Privilege. That might help in slowing down the clock, or at least that was the strategy, but ultimately its doing nothing for his defense.

Because claiming some sort of privilege, real or made up, is being viewed as tantamount to guilt. If there were people who could exonerate him, why isn’t he letting them speak already?

If Pelosi can manage to goad Trump into actually testifying (in person or in writing) we should start working on her statue immediately.

If he ever stood behind a testimony table and raised his hand, I’m pretty sure he’d start to melt.

Yeah, he does seem the type that didn’t want to get in, but ended up getting wrapped up into the middle of it.

Still, doesn’t bode well for him that he tried to lie his way out of trouble. Guess between him and Sondland, tomorrow will be another interesting Infrastructure Day.

Trump testify in writing? He’d be too confused with the 64 pack of Crayolas and Steven Miller would remove the brown, burnt umber and flesh colored ones.

Considering that a rhino’s hide is pretty darn thick . . .

As opposed to the usual, “only time he opens his mouth is to change feet.”

The purpose for that visit was to have Graham’s head extracted from Trump’s ass. Unfortunately, the docs say that the head is too far up there for an effective and safe procedure.

I don’t know why people think he’d be reluctant to do this “written answers” nonsense. His lawyers would provide all the answers – and substitute “I don’t recall” whenever Trump says something that implicates him in a crime.

Pelosi should just say “It takes so much more time to write down answer than to just speak the answer, and we know how precious the President’s time is. So we’ll stick with the public testimony idea – or if the President insists, he can testify in private, like all the other witnesses so far have done.”

Reasonable prediction (though terminally stupid Drumpfenfuhrer Jr. is a more likely candidate for Padishah Emperor given the misogynistic Republicans love them some stupid). Luckily, I don’t need to worry since I’m 66 and will be dead by then (either through natural causes or the horrid conditions in the detention camps for liberal New York Jews).

Why is this a surprising response? This is what Trump does – says he’ll do things he’ll never do.

He worked really hard on the punctuation in those Tweets.
