Democrats reiterated Monday a threat to punish former President Donald Trump for not testifying at the impeachment trial in the Senate, which begins Tuesday.In a short filing responding to Trump’s lawyer’s 75-page trial memorandum, submitted Monday, the House impeachment managers — all Democrats hand-picked by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) — wrote: [T]he House has invited President Trump to voluntarily testify under oath, yet President Trump immediately rejected that opportunity to tell his story. The House will establish at trial that this decision to avoid testifying supports a strong adverse inference regarding President Trump’s actions (and inaction) on January 6.

I do not care one whit about Democrat threats. I have had enough of their lies and corruption. This impeachment is a fraud. The Republicans are worthless for even appearing in this scam. The election was stolen. Our government is not a democracy. The people have no say, not even the Democrat fools. Our justice system is worthless, and has turned against the people. Our corporations all want to live here, but do business out of China, and have turned against the American people. The emergency powers will never be lifted. We have National Guard troops surrounding the Capitol, and no people there. It is not our government, and it is not our Capitol. We have no say. The government is illegitimate. Every spending bill is printed money. The people have not agreed to this ruin, as their agreement to pay the taxes is the only vote that counts.

I’ve watched enough Law & Order to know that a judge always tells the jury they can’t assume anything if the accused chooses to exercise his legal right not to testify at trial, haha. We would be so much better off if everyone in Washington would spend their time watching reruns instead of scheming to destroy the country.

There goes another right. Innocent until proven guilty. A defendant can choose not to testify without any assumption. One by one they are destroying America. Biden voters are you paying attention? Eventually they will get around to you.

Yeah, they really don’t care about the Constitution, do they?

Gee, I don’t seem to remember Slick testifying at his impeachment trial. But that was then and this is now.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but an impeachment trial is not a civil trial and the defendant is NOT COMPELLED to attend nor testify.
Democrats lie like a cheap dollar store rug.

In what was once a country defined by justice and equality under the law, this illegal act of impeachment and then further pursuit of political enemies for prosecution is an abomination. Where is the outrage by legal scholars who profess to revere the Constitution? How about individuals in all facets of government who have taken an oath to defend and protect the Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic? There is no getting around it. Our government is corrupt. And our Founders warned of this and gave us the remedy. We just do not have the stomach for it. Some reluctantly and some willingly will exchange freedom for whatever safety the democrats promise. The men and women who lead this country have given up to a force that will destroy them.

What would be fun is if he did show up and after every question put to him he answered...'I don't recall'.

He can always say, “At this point, what difference does this make?”

Doesn't sound very "voluntary" then, does it? And he shouldn't. Everyone knows it's a sham.

He’s not going to testify #7, which is essentially invoking the 5th Amendment for any and all of their questions. Testifying would lend the proceedings an acknowledgment of legitimacy it doesn’t have.
Where is Roberts? He should be unambiguously condemning this farce, but he has “No Comment.” Disgraceful. Cowardly.

Trump should agree to Testify but NOT answer any questions. His lead in statement should be short and sweet..."I don't want a Peach Mint, I prefer an alcohol free Mint Julep!"
If you Commie Libs don't get it, your dumber than a ROCK.

Mr. President (yes you are still the President) stay out of Washington DC. The left will never be satisfied until they jail you as a political prison. They want a trophy to display for their actions, altho criminal actions. Don't play Pelosi, Nadler and Schiff's games let them stew in their swamp pit. I have a plan invite the mob to play a round of golf with you in Mar a Lago discuss it on the greens it would be a laugh a minute to watch those idiots struggle to walk with you.

What is frightening to me is that so many Americans have not received enough decent history education to even recognize this as what fascism looks like.

There isn't an impeachment trial. There is an unconstitutional Kangaroo Kourt political theatrical performance being held - which has no real significance. Just ignore these clowns and their foolishness.
