The New York Times - Impeachment Managers Call on Trump to Testify in Trial

breaking

The House impeachment managers on Thursday called on Donald J. Trump to testify before or during his Senate trial next week, making an unexpected attempt to question the former president under oath about his actions on Jan. 6, when he is accused of inciting the riot by a mob of his supporters at the Capitol.

In a letter to Mr. Trump, Representative Jamie Raskin, Democrat of Maryland and the lead House impeachment prosecutor, said the president’s response this week to the House’s “incitement of insurrection” charge had challenged “overwhelming evidence” about his conduct as the assault unfolded, and demanded further explanation. ...

It was far from clear that the invitation would result in testimony by the former president, who is now residing in Florida.

It was a voluntary request, and though the Senate could vote to subpoena Mr. Trump’s testimony, doing so would present thorny legal and political issues.

Mr. Trump has never shied from defending himself, but it was unlikely that his lawyers would allow him to go on record in a case they already believe is headed for acquittal. ...

read the letter ...

EDIT Trump’s lawyers reject a request from House managers for testimony from the former president.

Taylor-Greene now claims she no longer believes in Q.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55940542

No word if she continues to believe all the other stuff in her catalog of crazy statements.

Imagine if Trump testifies. Would he "A Few Good Men" himself?

After a rambling Trump monologue about how he actually won the election; and how Pavarotti was a mean guy, but nice to him...

Did you incite an insurrection?

The Washington Post - House ejects Marjorie Taylor Greene from committees over extremist remarks

breaking

The House voted largely along party lines Thursday to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her two committee assignments, a precedent-shattering move by Democrats to rebuke a Republican who has espoused extremist beliefs that she publicly renounced in part just hours before the vote.

The vote against Greene reflected deep frustration in the Democratic ranks over the Republican leadership’s reluctance to take its own action to marginalize Greene (R-Ga.), their desire to yoke the entire GOP to her extremism, as well as their anger over a lack of accountability for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. ...

“I don’t understand what is complicated here,” said House Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern (D-Mass.), exhorting his colleagues to sideline Greene. “We know the result of these violent conspiracy theories. We saw that on Jan. 6. We know what it leads to. I don’t ever want to see that again. And we all should make clear where we stand on this.”

The vote was 230-199, with 11 Republicans voting with Democrats to strip Greene of her committees.

Excellent news! 🙂

That is no joke. It is exactly the reason his lawyers will move heaven and earth to keep him from testifying. Trump has the arrogance of the unintelligent. He thinks he is a perfect genius and can run circles around any interrogator. In truth, any competent prosecutor would nail him to the wall in seconds. He is too dumb to spot a trap and too self-obsessed to notice it closing. Easy meat for foreign tyrants and easy pickings for anyone over the age of 11.

I hope his arrogance means he'll ignore advice and testify.
