webfact Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Trump wants Senate trial, expects Joe Biden to testify - White House FILE PHOTO: U.S. President Donald Trump adjusts his jacket during a tour of Apple's Mac Pro manufacturing plant in Austin, Texas, U.S., November 20, 2019. REUTERS/Tom Brenner WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump wants an impeachment trial to go forward in the U.S. Senate because he would receive due process there and he expects Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden would be among the witnesses, a White House spokesman said on Thursday. "President Trump wants to have a trial in the Senate because it’s clearly the only chamber where he can expect fairness and receive due process under the Constitution," spokesman Hogan Gidley said in a statement. "We would expect to finally hear from witnesses who actually witnessed, and possibly participated in corruption - like Adam Schiff, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and the so-called Whistleblower, to name a few," Gidley said, referring to House of Representatives Intelligence Committee Chairman Schiff, who is leading an impeachment inquiry into Trump.

Eric Loh Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I will pay good money to see Trump testify in the impeachment trial. It is fully himself to clear his name and that is a very tall order. Biden and Schiff will be in their comfort zone by just telling the truth.

zydeco Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Ugh! That photo. I'd say they deliberately chose an unflattering photograph of Trump. But the truth is, with his belly ballooning out from stuffing his lazy gut all day and getting no more exercise than what it takes to work his twitterphone, I don't think it's possible to get a flattering picture of that splotchy tub of lard.

Such anger and hatred. Clearly one side is terrified of this farce getting to the senate where witnesses selection can not be controlled and weaponized by the dems. And rightly so. As soon as Schiff is dragged up to testify about his coordination with the "whistleblower", his lying about not knowing the whisleblower he coordinated with, and the whistleblower himself being asked about his links to the dem elite, and Biden "son of a bleep he got fired". Oh yes, this will be a classic. No wonder Trump wants this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whistleblower could be Hillary Clinton herself...IT...DOES...NOT...MATTER! There are a bunch of people (handpicked by Trump, military personal etc) who absolutely confirmed the quid pro quo, the bribery, that is was all orchestrated by Trump and his goons and they all KNEW IT and knew, what it meant!

Oh yes, this will be a classic. No wonder Trump wants this. Sure, Trump will be willing to testify. I'll look up to see a flock of flying pigs that day. His lawyers aren't stupid - the man couldn't stop himself from lying if he tried, and the last thing you do with someone like that is put them under oath. You may recall that in earlier times, lying under oath resulted in another President being impeached. But of course, that was about sexual impropriety between two consenting adults, not something trivial like bribing a foreign government to interfere in US elections. As to the Whistleblower, US Law protects his anonymity and right to report something illegal that he observed through official channels and that is what he/she did. Compelling him to testify via subpoena would be illegal. By all means, let's have Trump testify. But he'd never do it. His bone spurs or some other excuse would prevent it.

We have a disappearing whistleblower who was removed from the witch-hunt when his partisan past behavior and political activism was uncovered. We heard 2nd and 3rd hand hearsay. We heard 2nd hand hearsay by one of a bunch of wine drinking diners at a busy restaurant that overheard a mobile conversation on the other side of the table(my favorite!). Assumptions and presumptions. No witness showed any hard evidence that Trump extorted the Ukrainian president. The Ukrainian president said he was not extorted or pressured. There was no conference where the Ukrainian president said he was investigating Biden. The aid money was paid in full. The only real hard evidence were the transcripts that proved there was no extortion. Did I miss anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the Dem cadidates there so they cant campaign and show the public what they have been up to. Poor Baracks historical legacy is going to go down the tubes.

There is no doubt he has done what he is being accused of, but the doubt is whether it is enough to get his Congress impeachment confirmed by the senate..

Well I think they have abandoned Quid Pro Quo, but Bidens actions surely are relevant to the issue of how a President may excersize executive power in international affairs. Maybe they will call Obama to the stand. Talk about the hot mike conversation with Vlad. Oh boy, let it all come out! The biggest mistake any political party ever made was this impeachment thing.
