Democrats Demand Trump Testify At Senate Impeachment Trial

tRump will never testify. He's a high volume perjury machine with a hair trigger.
If he is subpoenaed, he will testify. He no longer has the cover of the POTUS seal.
This is true.
Wrong again commie, he has the seal of a citizen, he has every right not to say a damn thing. It's amazing how easily you commies throw out the Constitution in a constitutional process.



TOO FUNNY, Tex! Now these jellybean brains think that not being POTUS means giving up the 5th! :auiqs.jpg:

Democrats demand and get SQUAT.


The fifth isn't required, silence is golden, as the song says. Even in American jurisprudence, nothing can be inferred by silence.

.
Wonton want him.to ignore the subpoena and basically just ignore the courts?

What happened to "party of law and order"?

Commies have already determined their allegations are factual, so his saying anything to the contrary would have them claiming that he lied. Funny I thought the purpose of the trial is to determine if the allegations are factual. I guess with you commies it's always guilty until proven innocent, well, except for your own.

.
Spin little tRumpling! Spin like the wind!


Did you read the OP? It's you commies that are lying your asses off.

.
Do you tRumplings ever get dizzy?


Once again, you need to learn something about the US system, and stop parroting your comrade. Original thought is a good thing, your obvious ignorance, not so much.

.
I'm gonna take that as "no, I can spin all day without getting dizzy".


So facts are spin now? Only in your commie world.

He may plead the fifth, but he can't ignore the subpoena.


He doesn't need to say a damn word, they can't even require him to take the oath.

.
And then he will be held in contempt.


Under what authority, this bullshit has already been addressed. Do try to keep up.

What fucking subpoena, there has been no subpoena issued and there won't be. The shit show is scheduled to start Monday. Also it's a political exercise the courts aren't involved. So shove your law and order propaganda up your commie ass.

Right. One can only be compelled to testify unless one is granted immunity. Even then, they can't force one to speak, but there can be consequences for refusing to do so.

Why would Trump testify at an illegal show trial and dignify it with his participation?
Oh, I don't know, because he has been impeached, he believes unfairly. Never complain again that the Democrats didn't give him a chance to testify. He wouldn't interview with Mueller and he wouldn't testifyxat his first impeachment,
Democrat NAZIs actually expect Trump to participate voluntarily in his own lynching. The arrogance of these people is simply beyond belief.


House impeachment managers sent a letter to Donald Trump strongly suggesting the former president testify at the Senate impeachment trial.
The trial, slated to begin on Tuesday of next week, involves a charge from the House that Trump incited a mob of supporters who stormed the Capitol on January 6th.
A formal response from Trump’s lawyers “denied” that he “ever engaged in a violation of his oath of office,” and instead he, “at all times acted to the best of his ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin (D-MD) essentially defied Trump to prove his innocence in his own words.
“In light of your disputing these factual allegations, I write to invite you to provide testimony under oath, either before or during the Senate impeachment trial, concerning your conduct on January 6, 2021,” Raskin wrote.
Since when is an invitation a demand? He wasn't subpoenaed. The Dem's threat of inferring his refusal as guilt won't fly, though. I'm surprised they even went there.
No Republican has ever complained that

Communist have no case against real patriotic American Trump.
Trump is an authoritarian dictator want to be, a terrorist, and a criminal. None of those things are patriotic. And you are so fucking ignorant, you don't even know what communism is.
You have to know that's utter horse shit.
 
And the prosecution has no right to demand they testify.
A subpoena doesn't force you to say anything. It's just says you need to appear.
It forces you to agree to go under oath and testify. So a few words are forced. But i suppose you could then just plead the 5th the entire time.


Wrong again commie. A subpoena says you have to show up, you can't be compelled to do a damn thing beyond that.

.
If he was innocent, he would be showing up. He's a terrorist and an accomplice to insurrection and murder.


If you weren't so retarded you'd be smarter. And if what you claim were true, why hasn't quid pro joes AG charged him? It's been a month, what the fuck are they waiting for?

.
Tons of evidence to go through dick head, and the pos Graham was holding up the confirmation as the Right always does. They'll get there.


Wait, wait, you commies are claiming it's all about his speech on the 6th of Jan. Were you lying, again? How hard is it to review one fucking speech? Ok, now you can move the goal posts, just as you commies ALWAYS DO.

.
Ha DA, the AG has a shit more to go over besides January 6th. Do you know how much evidence can be amassed following a RICO investigation? LOL! Where tf have you been?
Evidence of what? You don't seem to know what this impeachment is about.

Trump admitted his guilt by not testifying; Neal Katyal on Trump’s refusal to testify: This is ‘the only time I've wanted Trump to actually speak’


Wow, another commie chimes in and is wrong as usual.

.
You're so fucking ignorant, you don't even know what communism is.
Democrat Party 2021
See what I mean. You don't have the foggiest idea. What an ignorant mf.
True. It's really the NAZI party.
 
the senate doesn't have the authority to put anyone in jail.
Wrong again. You can go to jail for up to 12 months. Each time. So they can subpoena you again after your 12 months and charge you again, if you defy the subpoena again.. And,essentially, keep you in jail in perpetuity. By the rules, that is. And we all know how you Trumpers are cool with ANYTHING not explicitly against the rules. So you have nothing to complain about.

It's alive and well, ready to crush Antifa on a moment's notice.
 
Right. One can only be compelled to testify unless one is granted immunity.
Not true at all. Now, the "testimony" may then consist of the witness taking the 5th on every question, but yes... A person absolutely can be compelled by Congress to swear in and testify, under threat of contempt.
 
What fucking subpoena, there has been no subpoena issued and there won't be. The shit show is scheduled to start Monday. Also it's a political exercise the courts aren't involved. So shove your law and order propaganda up your commie ass.
The USSC has repeatedly upheld congresses subpoena power, the latest being when Trump appealed the subpoena they issued against him as sitting president.

The USSC has also long standing confirmation of congresses power to subpoena private citizens.

No, you are wrong (or you completely misunderstood my point.)



In short, they can take away 5th Amendment protection if they grant you immunity from prosecution. It is frequently used. If you then refuse to answer after being granted immunity, they can lock you up.

So, do you still think I am wrong?

Thanks.

Not this time. Roberts never even showed up for preliminaries of the impeachment because it is unconstitutional despotism to try to silence a politicsl rival. Just like the Democrats and 10 soon to lose in Primaries RINO's did in the House to a Congresswoman elected by the PEOPLE of her district.

No, it is just that you and i are using the word "testify" in two different ways. I am referring to it as the simple act of attending the trial and swearing in for examination. You are referring to it as being forced to give answers to questions while on the stand without 5th amendment protection. So we are both right, knowing that.

But, point of note: a judge can reject your plea of the 5th for a question he does not deem as speaking to your own guilt and hold you in contempt for refusing to answer it, regardless of immunity.
 
He doesn't need to say a damn word, they can't even require him to take the oath.
Right. One can only be compelled to testify unless one is granted immunity. Even then, they can't force one to speak, but there can be consequences for refusing to do so.
Wrong. Refusing to testify can be prosecuted as contempt of congress (upheld by the USSC as an inherent power) . But a witness can in testifying invoke the 5th amendment.

You claimed without immunity, a person couldn't be compelled to testify at all. That's not true. They can force you to show up. They can force you to take the oath.

Roberts only has to show up for the trial of a sitting president. The reason is that the judge at an impeachment trial can't be a beneficiary of the action. Since Kamala Harris has no skin in the game in a Trump trial. There is no reason to substitute the judge.
 
The whole concept of impeaching a president who is no longer in office is ridiculous. Unfortunately we will probably see it happen again in the future. The Republicans are sure to retaliate once they regain control of the House.

Congress will likely waste large blocks of time impeaching future presidents rather then working to solve the problems our nation faces. Not that they solve problems today but at least they will have a poor excuse for their failure.
