White House Announces It Won’t Participate In Impeachment Hearing | Deadline | MSNBC
Then, that will be the death of the salesman!!
It’s like a kid that cries no one invited him to the party, even though he stated he wasn’t going to attend it, anyway.
@Dave Schultz To be called stupid by mouthbreathers is an honor. You guys aren’t near as smart as you think.
Trump is busy doing the people’s business. He has already pushed most of the NATO members to give 2% of gdp to support NATO which makes it stronger. The Democrats and the MSNBC cult members just behave like children with a dirty diaper. Funny to watch the DemWITS lose what little credibility they had left.

The reason why Trump isn’t sending any of his lawyers to participate in the hearings is because he has no lawyers that can actually mount a legitimate defense for his actions. More importantly, Trump doesn’t even have a witness to send to the hearings that would be able to dispute the evidence against him. I’m mean who is going to send…Pompeo? Absolutely NOT!!!
What about Bolton? Nope, he hasn’t been seen since he ran out of the White House before Rudy “the handgrenade” blew up. What about Mulvaney? Nope…that’s out of the question. How about Rudy? 😲 HE/ / NO!!!!😂
Anyone of those potential witnesses for Trump are actually co-conspirators in Trump’s crimes. They would either have to give him up, or commit perjury under oath during the hearings. That’s why Trump’s not sending any lawyers are witnesses to defend him. Because he has no defense. Like Sondland said during his testimony, ” EVERYONE was in the loop.”😄
Absolutely 100% correct in your evaluation.
Your evaluation is spot on. His “three amigos,” are accessories to the fact of his criminal operation.
Feckless #45 *fears the truth* in a Congressional ‘open court’… 🤔
“Sad!” 🤣
He’s just #FailingPresident
If there was truth he wouldn’t be goin through impeachment.
“We demand open hearings!” Ok
“We demand full transcripts!!” Sure.
“We demand our lawyers be present.” You bet.
“We look pathetic, don’t we?” Yup.
Walt Schmidt they followed the law and SOP. So yes to your question.
@Reinhard This is kinda like the “birth certificate” nonsense… VP Biden did the bidding of his President and to advance the policy objectives of the US Government and numerous other governing bodies. (i.e. the EU, the ECB, the House and Senate foreign relations committees, the NSC, etc.)
That’s the elder Biden…
As for Hunter Biden? He got a job in a foreign country while his father was the Vice President of the US… Hunter Biden did not have a US Government job or any position of influence with the US Government… He definitely had less influence over the actions of the US Government than Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Jarrod Kushner do right now…
There is no ethical standard or US Code that specifies Hunter Biden could not have the job he did – so it’s not illegal and doesn’t violate the US ethics code. And even if it did, Hunter Biden, as a private citizen, isn’t responsible for following the ethics regulations of the US Government.
“I strongly consider testifying..” Nah, he won’t come. He has bone spurs.
@a24396 I do not fully understand this story at the moment. But according to published information the decision to put Hunter Biden on the Bord of Directors of Burisma in 2015 raised some concerns. He wouldn’t have gotten the job without his father Joe Biden. Well, so far so good.
Hey trolls:
336 days til trump loses the election.
337 days til the biggest crybaby tweetstorm ever.
414 days til the handcuffs go on.
In the words of one of your heroes: “Get over it”
🤣Keep dreaming 🤣
@David M I’d say “see you at the polls”, but as you’re most likely russian and a paid troll……… Begone, troll!
The Democrat Party believes if Trump is not removed, he will be reelected by the people.
@gfunk6 Funny how it has been you clowns that never accepted the 2016 election.
So all those Republicans who wanted ‘facts’ suddenly don’t want them?
Wrong Crowd – It’s ‘bigly’ shocking, ain’t it…? 🤣
Schiffs chosen witnesses are only giving opinions anyway, facts are out the window as usual.
tRumplicans’ worshipers’ chosen witnesses echoed Schiff’s; and?
Comment sections like this make me happy my country cares about education. I can not believe how many people support someone who will change your democracy forever so faithfully. What has he done that’s been so great? USA is in big big trouble if they allow someone as dumb as Trump to continue
Taylor, as a U.S. educator, I can promise you that most people in this country are painfully ignorant. This statement does not just apply to basic geography. They know nothing and love the fact. We are all at the mercy of childlike monsters convinced of their equal knowledge and fitness.
Whether you want to admit it or not, Trump has done great things for Amerikkka. Bringing this racist corrupt country to it’s knees and exposing the stupidity of those who’s been running it.
@Anna Morris Trump is busy doing the people’s business. He has already pushed most of the NATO members to give 2% of gdp to support NATO which makes it stronger.

*First, they said “secret meetings” are not acceptable.*
*Then they said “open hearings,” which were voted and approved, are not acceptable.*
*Then they said the White House is not invited to participate in hearings.*
*now they say they won’t participate in hearings.*
*What a bunch of shifty losers!*
@Dave Schultz nobody wants Joe Biden to win. Only that moron Trump thought he would.
America voted for this.
👏
ruth depew over 90 percent of counties in America voted for this
@Marshall Boling We don’t vote by country. Las Angeles County would be the 10th biggest state and Orange county would be the 20th biggest state should they secede from California.
p.s. We also do not vote by the acre.
And another 5 years 👍🇺🇸
ruth depew yeah we vote by the state which he also won handily. Lol if LA and Orange County broke off from Cali the state would turn red and be a net gain for the Republicans… majority of Cali is red only 3 counties rule the entire state. Similar to many other states like my own NC. We had 5 counties out of 100 vote for Hillary . Trump barely won the state. If you broke off big counties they would lose entire states. That’s why they won’t.
@Marshall Boling Currently the residents of Wyoming get three votes per person for the presidency: one for the representative and one for for each Senator. The residents of California get less than 1.04 votes per person for the presidency: one for their representative and 2/53 for the two Senators. The electoral college is destroying America and must change.
Trump’s handy winning was by a few thousand votes in several states. The Democrats will not be discouraged from voting by evil Russian propaganda and its Republican echo this time around.
I was not suggesting the large counties secede, but pointing out their immense populations. BTW, California has the world’s fifth largest economy. The rural populations would wither without urban wealth.
I remember the days, good ol’ days when politics were boring. This saga is coming to an end, treasonous end #fakepotus at the head of it.
MSNBC had to make it exciting so they elected Trump
Of course the WH will not participate in the hearings. It will have to tell the truth (bad) or perjure themselves (bad).
He actually has better things to do.
add obstruction charges
File this under BIG SURPRISE. He will never testify. He’s too stoned and demented.
Oh, come on. Did anyone really think they would cooperate? It was never going to happen.
Boo Stover I can see why your not a lawyer
HIllary testified for 11 hours.
Yep, and never wavered. She was steel.
@CShield LOL she found to have broken numerous laws but she was allowed to skate by the FBI. If Trump had done all that she has done you would want Trump executed. Notice how donations to Hillary foundation have dried up. She has no influence to sell. The truth is that Democrats actually DO what they falsely accuse others of doing. Sad you are so poorly educated.
@Gary Lee The GOP did their own follow up investigation that ended in October I believe and came to the same conclusion Comey did. Sad you are poorly delusional.
10 count of obstruction in mueller report and more with ukraine. Including witness tampering in both cases.
“Irretrievably broken?” Prince Charles exact words to describe how he ruined his own marriage.
We need to build the wall in Colorado to protect Alabama from the hurricanes!!
Won’t anyone think of the children?!?
This is true.
If he was on the up and up,he would not be fighting so hard to keep everything undercover.
He wouldn’t stop his people from talking to the Inquiry.
What he is doing is trying to make the entire process illegitimate by Not participating.
He actually thinks if he doesn’t show up himself,or sends Legal representation, that it would matter to the country.
Particularly since he believes he speaks for the country.
He believes that if he attends, that would delegitimize his presidency.
Amazing.
The loss of power: “The pure insane grip of the tribe, and the absolute terror of being without it” (Jack Reacher). Someone once said you can run but you can’t hide.
