    Lame. Trump doesn't want to participate, cuz then he and his Republican defenders won't be able to complain about being excluded. Yes, US law, or at least US politics, can be confusing!

  2. Oh I agree he's yanking the chain on this, but so are the democrats. If they can't legally compel these people to testify, then they have nothing. Sitting on their asses is the smart play here. Regardless of how it makes the democrats "feel".

    (I suggest they scream at the sky, repeatedly.)

    Congress, acting as an investigative body has the power to compel people to testify going back to 1790's.

    If Congress can't enforce it's own power against the executive branch, that says something about the growing power of the executive state which you should find troubling no matter how you feel about this particular event.

  4. Or maybe they just think everything is one big lie after the other.
    Don't believe anything you read, see, or hear until the words donald trump is impeached.

    What if he's impeached bit not removed from office? Because that is what will certainly happen.

    Impeachment is and was designed as solely a political tool because the department of Justice falls under the presidency.

  6. Here's how Trump could be impeached, removed from office, and still win re-election in 2020

    Just had a read of this...
    There is too much speculation in there to fully understand what is going on.
    Let's wait and see if he is impeached first.

  8. That is a prediction.

    what we don't know yet is IF Trump wants another term as president.
    That's why i say wait.

    Short of a 9/11 or alien attack level diversion, it will happen.

    Whether Trump desires to be president wouldn't have an effect on whether he's impeached or not.

    Collins requests extra witnesses at impeachment hearing

    This is interesting. It sounds like the representative in question has an interesting idea. He wants Republicans to be able to call as many witnesses as Democrats for the impeachment inquiry in the judiciary committee. It's being called an expanded panel.

    It sounds fair. But why in the heck are they holding on to this guy (President Trump)?

    Whether Donald Duck is impeached or not, he will be tried for federal crimes, and either he will resign from office and be pardoned, or he will go to jail.

    I thought the president was coercing people to refuse. It sure seems that way.

    I think we can all see what he's doing. But it feels like people pretend he's doing something else/tell everyone he's doing something else. It's not right. He treats the presidency like crap.

    would you rather have a smooth criminal like Obummer or the Hildebeast lie to your face and tell you they are working for you all the while they're stabbing you in the back ?

    :D

    You know...

    But in reality, I'm hoping for a Sanders presidency. Just when I feel like it's a long shot a poll comes on the news showing him leading Biden too. But it might be just in one area or something.

    I did like Bernie, but now he's shown his hand and maybe the old Q-Tip needs to retire. he already had a stent put in and he could possibly seize-up right in the middle of inauguration

    Lying to my face telling me they're working for me all the while they're stabbing me in the back? You just described Trump. Yes I'd rather have Obama or Hillary as President. In fact I'd rather have George W. Bush or Richard Nixon as President, neither were as bad as Trump. Once again we need to elect a Democrat for President to undo the damage left by the previous Republican administration.
