JUST FUCKING TAKE OFF ALREADY, SHIT
*I have the worst loving lawyers gif*

I'm expecting Trump to fire his entire counsel after today - it's making him look more like an idiot that this is the best lawyer he was able to get and in the end it's not helping him.

I'm also willing to bet that sleazy republicans that are calling witnesses are hoping it'll make the democrats look bad, but in reality it's a definite monkey paw situation.

OR

This is their chance to separate from Trump by letting the witnesses do it for them. Either way, time to buy more alcohol!

just want to reiterate that a vote for witnesses is not carte blanche for all witnesses anyone wants, they all have to be voted on

the worst they can actually do is annoy all the other senators by making them vote down a bunch of stupid witnesses

a meaningless answer, you can do whatever you want

he won't be subpoenaed because the 5th amendment clearly shields him from being compelled to testify

If you are completely shameless it probably doesn’t matter. “Hire me to waste time” is probably on his business card.

I believe the 5th only applies in criminal proceedings which this is not? It's why all his people spent years screaming executive privilege at Congressional hearings.

he can be compelled to testify, he just can't be compelled to answer any particular question. 5th Amendment right has to be invoked on a question by question basis. Not everything he could testify to would necessarily be self-incriminating.

Am i wrong in thinking that the alleged call from McCarthy to Trump should be in a whitehouse transcript somewhere? In theory could the senate not request transcripts of all POTUS communications during the riot timeframe?

Trump infamously used a personal cellphone for business so it is likely there is no transcript.

No. Any time that you're being compelled to answer and your answer would be the confession of a crime, you can take the fifth. That said, it still wouldn't hurt to bring Trump in. If he's innocent and it was a perfect speech, then these are trivial questions to answer.
