Impeachment mgrs call Trump to testify for his trial, what say ye teabaggers?

just wondering if all these GOP qanon losers and radical right wing seditionists want to see daddy on the witness stand.....think he could handle that assholes?.....


Lead House impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) officially requested that former president Donald Trump testify under oath about his involvement in the events that led to the Capitol riot on Jan. 6.

The letter, which Raskin sent to Trump’s lawyers Thursday, comes two days after the president’s legal team filed papers with the Senate disputing many of the factual allegations in the House managers’ case. It invites Trump to testify either before or during his actual impeachment trial, which is set to begin in the Senate on Tuesday, Feb. 9 -- with the recommendation he do so between Monday, Feb. 8 and Thursday Feb. 11.

"If you decline this invitation, we reserve any and all rights, including the right to establish at trial that your refusal to testify supports a strong adverse inference regarding your actions (and inaction) on January 6, 2021,” Raskin warned in his letter, asking for a response by Friday at 5 p.m.

In the letter, Raskin pointed out that former presidents Gerald Ford and Bill Clinton had both testified to Congress while in office, “so there is no doubt that you can testify in these proceedings.” Raskin also pointed out that since Trump is no longer in office, and since the Supreme Court has already ruled that the president is not immune to legal proceedings for decisions he made during his tenure in office, he has no excuse to decline. “We therefore anticipate your availability to testify,” Raskin wrote.

Trump has the opportunity to explain his actions to the nation. He's a tough guy, go for it Mr Trump!
 
Trump ** (Q-FL) is too much of a pussy to testify. It takes someone like Hillary to do 10 hours of testimony.

I say, ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY.

Face it. Trump is not a very smart man.
I mean, this is a moron who suggested injecting disinfectant to treat the Coronavirus and suggested the F-35 stealth fighter is invisible to the naked eye.
He's sure to say something moronic and self-incriminating.
It'll be a great Clown Show. I'll bring popcorn.

Letter Calling on Trump to Testify

Dear President Trump,

As you are aware, the United States House of Representatives has approved an article of
impeachment against you for incitement of insurrection . See H. Res . 24. The Senate trial for this
article of impeachment will begin on Tuesday , February 9, 2021. See S. Res . 16.
Two days ago, you filed an Answer in which you denied many factual allegations set forth
in the article of impeachment. You have thus attempted to put critical facts at issue notwithstanding
the clear and overwhelming evidence of your constitutional offense. 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.

We would propose that you provide your testimony (of course including cross-examination) as early as
Monday, February 8 2021, and not later than Thursday, February 11, 2021. We would be pleased
to arrange such testimony at a mutually convenient time and place.
Presidents Gerald Ford and Bill Clinton both provided testimony while in office — and the
Supreme Court held just last year that you were not immune from legal process while serving as
President — so there is no doubt that you can testify in these proceedings. Indeed, whereas a sitting
President might raise concerns about distraction from their official duties, that concern is obviously
inapplicable here. We therefore anticipate your availability to testify.
