For all of his bluster, did anyone really think that he would ?

Even if he wasn't likely to commit perjury, he simply wouldn't have the patience to sit through a few minutes of impeachment proceedings and would likely have behaved like a bored toddler.

I would be embarrassed to admit that I have no chance to win unless everyone makes sure I'm treated fairly .

Does this come as a surprise to anyone?

Who gives anyone a million dollars a year for nothing?

What does Andrew Giuliani do for a living, again?

What does Andrew Giuliani do for a living, again?

Being loyal to Trump.

If Trump has that, then for all he cares Andrew can sit around the whole day drinking beer in his underpants.

Send emails to people begging for half a mil.

....and the US Foreign service officers such as Fiona Hill, George Kent and Jennifer Williams, all unquestioned experts with a deep and intimate knowledge of Russia and Ukraine.

Just shows how “deep” the Deep State goes!

Does this [refusal to participate in the impeachment hearing] come as a surprise to anyone?

Of course not.

Fits perfectly with the strategy of attacking the legitimacy of the impeachment inquiry, while still allowing Trump to play the victim by claiming he’s somehow being denied representation in said inquiry. Which will only play to his base, of course, but that’s the whole point, isn’t it.

Being loyal to Trump.

Especially if he's being paid with other peoples' money

Thanks for the info, guys. I didn't realize we were so picky.

It's not that bad, but you have a better chance if you're a young worker or student, or an immediate family member of a citizen/permanent resident. Or rich.

This has nothing to do with his attendance.

The lawyers said they won't bother with a hearing on the history and legal issues of impeachment. They have not said whether they will attend later hearings. Even if they do, there's no reason to think that Trump will be there.

Honestly, not attending Wednesday's session is reasonable. If the attorneys think the case against impeachment and/or removal won't be based on legal considerations of what constitutes an impeachable offense, then they have little reason to attend. Not sure how they intend to make their case, really. Probably leave it to the GOP Senators to come up with some reason for the nigh inevitable acquittal.

 

[Belz...]

All an impeachment decision will do is result in Trump winning again.

The dems and left media are just too dim to realise.

So your solution is to let him get away with it? That sets a dangerous precedent for future presidents and also puts national security at risk while he's in office.

 

[Belz...]

As long as the goals of the Dems and the Constitution are aligned, the question is irrelevant.

Worse: it's a distraction.

I'm not sure I understand the question.

For pete's ******* sake, theprestige. It's clear as day.

Because it's tedious to constantly worry about it.

Yeah **** accuracy.

 

[Belz...]

Trump's corruption cooties are mega powerful, able to withstand Kevin Bacon.

...wait, what?

pre$$titute

Interesting. Stupid, but interesting.

Trump isn't going anywhere, no matter how much noise the Democrats and fake news make. The Ukraine Hoax is just going to be added to the Dems' growing pile of failed hoaxes and that will be that. Another one bites the dust.

May I suggest watching something other than Fox News?

I don't believe in any way that you're this ignorant of the facts.

 

[Belz...]

The Trayvon Hoax, Ferguson Hoax, Kavanaugh Hoax, and Russia Hoax speak for themselves.

None of those were hoaxes. What are you blabbering about?

notwithstanding that they can't even name the crime.

Extortion, bribery, abuse of power, obstruction of justice. All of the above.

It’s such a weird choice of terms.

It’s seems to imply that reporters who report the news, and news organizations that publish it are being paid to do so. Who knew???

To me it implies that mainstream journalism is full of whores who print propaganda for money.

Rudy is trying to explain the business deals he was pursuing from the same officials he was pressing to smear the Bidens. There was an offer from X but I didn't take it but then I thought about an offer from Y and then... It comes across like Elaine explaining that Art Vandelay is an importer AND an exporter.
