White House Lawyer Won't Participate In First Judiciary Impeachment Hearing

[Lysistrata]

Ever heard of little things like...

• Attorney-client privilege
• The 5th Amendment
• Executive privilege

?????????????

None of which applies in the impeachment proceeding.

 

[toobfreak]

That's not fact, that's total bullshit.

Hiding behind the 5th

Like this?

 

[bripat9643]

Not acting like fat donnie is innocent, is he?

You knew the fat orange fuck wasn't going to participate when he said he was "strongly considering testifying at the impeachment hearings". LOL.

It's another perjury trap!!! LOL.

The scumbag couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it.

It's cute how douchebag Dims are so desperate to have Trump volunteer to participate in his own lynching.

When did Congress vote to conduct an impeachment proceeding?

 

[bripat9643]

So trump whines about his lawyers not being able to be at the hearings. Then Nadler invites trump's lawyers to be at the hearing.

trump's lawyers refuse to be at the first hearing. They said they might be at later ones but we all know that's just a line. We have listened to trump whine about how unfair this is, how he's not allowed to participate, how no vote was taken.

He even said he would cooperate when they had a vote for the inquiry. That vote was held weeks ago. trump still doesn't cooperate. So if anyone actually believes that trump wants to participate or have any lawyer of his there, I have a bridge to sell you cheap. Along with some ocean front property in Kansas.

White House won't participate in first Judiciary impeachment hearing

Gee...he sure acts like an innocent man, doesn't he?

He sure likes to whine and bitch about how mean the democrats are being. How unfair all this is.

He has been given the chance to participate yet he won't.

He demands a vote on the inquiry. He gets his vote then doesn't keep his word to cooperate.

The republicans and trump are making a joke of our government and justice system.

"A chance to participate?" Why would he want to participate in his own lynching?

Why does the orange whore constantly act as a guilty man? He and his cronies should come forth to clear their names. They obviously have exculpatory evidence that they refuse to share with the public.

Why would an innocent man "come forth" to participate in a Soviet show trial?

A "Soviet show trial"? The orange whore is a Russian puppet. If he and his cronies were Americans, they would be up there on Capitol Hill, not hiding from U.S. law. Why would an American who has nothing to hide defy a subpoena?

No they wouldn't, douchebag. Americans don't participate in Stalinist show trials. What law is he hiding from? In case you don't recall, Eric Holder defied a couple of subpoenas.

Everything you post is a lie. You're a servile Stalinist douchebag.

Why the "Stalinist"? Why the "servile"? Why the "douchebag"? What are you hiding behind your filthy mouth?

Moreover, were the Clinton and Nixon impeachment proceedings "Stalinist show trials"? Millions were spent getting Clinton on some sexual misconduct, and millions were spent on Nixon's connection to the break-in at the Watergate apartments. The impeachment proceedings here involve misconduct with foreign governments and misconduct in foreign policy. The current proceedings are far more important.

Why? Because I want to label you accurately.

The Clinton and Nixon impeachments weren't show trials because they didn't follow the kangaroo court rules that Schiff and Nadler are observing, dumbfuck. The nature of the charge is irrelevant to the nature of the proceedings.

Although I doubt you would learn anything, you really ought to take a course in logic.

What you just did in your post is called a "non sequitur." Look it up.

So wait, there is another hearing going over all the same stuff?

Why don't they bring Mueller back, blow another $40 Million just to have him tell us there was NO Russian Collusion?

You are Just a PUTIN PUPPET.

Death TO AMERICA!

First we have to vote for the pre-inquiry to see what is in it, before we can have the inquiry which follows the pre-inquiry in to Russian Collusion before we had the Investigation in to Russian Collusion, and after the Pre-Impeachment,. Pre-Impeachment, Pre-Impeachment, Pre-Impeachment inquiry, we can vote on an Impeachment, and Articles of Impeachment, at which case, we have to send that to The Senate to actually get to an Actual Impeachment.

At any Rate, we thought we'd let you know about this Impeachment because we like saying the word Impeachment for the last three years and hope to keep saying it for 5 more years!

Impeachment.....it's not just for breakfast, lunch and dinner anymore!

What do you suppose the Dims are going to do after the Senate shoots this down and Trump gets reelected?

“Under the current circumstances, we do not intend to participate in your Wednesday hearing,” White House Counsel Pat Cipollone wrote in a letter to Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), adding that “an invitation to an academic discussion with law professors does not begin to provide the president with any semblance of a fair process.”
White House won’t take part in first House Judiciary impeachment hearing

Apparently, Team Trump can't find any legal scholars who are eager to ruin their reputation by defending the WH's half-ass contentions that the process of impeaching a prez for abuse of power, obstruction, and illegal acts does not have legitimacy. They'd rather stick with the whiny pleas to The Following that they are being denied a fair process............without being able to articulate how..............other than to lie.

What "kangaroo court rules'? Why can't your whore and his cronies go up to Capitol Hill and speak into a microphone if they are so fucking innocent? They are hiding from the American people and shitting in their pants.

Sometimes they contend that they are not being allowed to speak, and then, given the opportunity to speak, they run away. What gives?

"What do you suppose the Dims are going to do after the Senate shoots this down and Trump gets reelected?"

That's a two-part question.

1. What do you suppose the Dims are going to do after the Senate shoots this down?

This is the easy part, they're going to squeal like a bunch of stuck piggies all the way to November, probably farther. And try to get voters to vote out the Repubs in the house and Senate.

2. What do you suppose the Dims are going to do after Trump gets reelected?

Who really knows? The far Left is going to want to obstruct and investigate anything and everything they think might have a chance to de-rail Trump or even impeach and remove him from office. The rest of the Dem Party is probably going to want to get things done to have a decent record to run on in 2022 and 2024. A lot depends on what happens in 2020, will the Dems get another shellacking? If so, maybe it alters the thinking of many to change tactics.

 

[berg80]

The far Left is going to want to obstruct

Irony alert. Trump obstructed the Mueller probe and is now obstructing the impeachment inquiry.

?????????????

All they're going to be doing at that first hearing is hashing out Constitutionality of aspects of the hearing. The President's lawyers feel they've "got" that and have no need to participate.
At least that's what they're saying. No one is asking them questions directly; at least that was my understanding.
