Quote:Trump returns. Trump goes to the Capitol, to the well of the Senate to face his accusers and the jury. And he throws down hard on the evidence, the coverup and the failure to act. Only he can do this — the nation needs to hear this, the world needs to hear this, history demands to hear this.

Remember for all its ‘baseless’, ‘unfounded’ nature over 80% of Republicans that have reviewed the material concluded the rot was stolen and Biden is illegitimate. Think what percentage of the American people will be stunned to hear what the Tech Oligarchs and Media Masters deemed was too explosive for their eyes and ears.

DIY (DO IT YOURSELF)

What makes you think anything Trump says will be published in public... ?

It will all be edited or flat out unreported as. Because it is “not true”

RIDING HIGH NEED TO BREATHE

Does the Senate have to allow his testimony? Especially now that he’s no longer president. I’m not sure.

Andrew Johnson badly wanted to testify at his impeachment trial in 1868, but his lawyers — most specifically Benjamin Curtis, the retired Supreme Court Justice who had dissented so eloquently in the Dred Scott case — advised him to stay away. Clinton did not want to appear at his impeachment trial in 1999.

I thought Trump would crash the party last year. Was actually surprised that he stayed away.

Also, the Senate could — repeat, *Could* — pass a rule that anyone who testifies at the trial must be willing to answer questions under oath, or the testimony would be stricken from the record. I doubt if any president or ex-president would be willing to face that gauntlet.

Not going to happen

He should testify!

Say what you want to say. Say it loud and with total conviction.

When they ask questions just say “I can’t recall”. Seems to work fine for them.

CAN’T UNRING THE BELL

It's a farce. He should ignore it. I know he "parted" with his lawyers but they shouldn't show up either. No testimony in House = sham so treat it that way.

The evidence need not be delivered by Trump. His lawyers can do it. It’s not like the trial won’t be televised.

He's a loose cannon. As a lawyer, you wouldn't want him on the stand.

Trump does a few things you probably dont want as a witness. He tends to think out loud--which causes him to go on tangents. Thats ok for brainstorming in a business meeting---but not great on the stand. Secondly, Trump has a problem with assuming that people he's talking to have the same level of detail knowledge about a topic as he does. There were times I would notice on the stump that I knew what he was talking about---but I cant help but believe a large number of people watching on TV probably didnt think what he was saying made sense because Trump failed to lay a good foundation on the subject. You had to have a pretty good knowledge on a topic at times for what he was saying to make sense because he skipped over the details. Its something he does a lot in the press setting Ive noticed.
