Democrats invite Trump to testify in impeachment inquiry

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi invited President Donald Trump to testify in front of investigators in the House impeachment inquiry ahead of a week that will see several key witnesses appear publicly. 

Pushing back against accusations from the president that the process has been stacked against him, Pelosi said Trump is welcome to appear or answer questions in writing, if he chooses. 

“If he has information that is exculpatory, that means ex, taking away, culpable, blame, then we look forward to seeing it,” she said in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” Trump “could come right before the committee and talk, speak all the truth that he wants if he wants,” she said. 

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer echoed that suggestion. 

“If Donald Trump doesn’t agree with what he’s hearing, doesn’t like what he’s hearing, he shouldn’t tweet. He should come to the committee and testify under oath. And he should allow all those around him to come to the committee and testify under oath,” Schumer told reporters. He said the White House’s insistence on blocking witnesses from cooperating begs the question: “What is he hiding?”

His tax returns must contain some wicked bad shit. He’s gone all the way to the Supreme Court to keep them from being released.

 

Or maybe he’s just opposed to the underhanded and partisan manner in which they are trying to obtain them. :dunno: The whole impeachment thing is a farce and running out of steam so it seems we need a new boogie man.

Trump should be glad to tell his side under  oath. I’m sure his supporters can’t wait for the President to set the record straight and face his accusers. 
 

Then he’ll have everything he asked for. Open hearings and a chance to face his accusers.

Your wife work(ed)s with the same tax issues my wife did. My wife says he doesn't have to or should have to. Does your wife with the same training feel the same?

That's the same as asking him to resign.

He wouldnt make it 30 seconds into the first question without committing perjury

Why would that matter with as many as people who perjure themselves to congress and get away with it anymore?

You mean the tax returns he repeatedly promised to release?

Hillary released all of hers back to 1977. Somehow you said she was crooked but couldn’t find proof in her returns.

Poor Nancy, hoping a few dim bulbs will latch onto the notion that Trump needs to testify in front of that circus.  Lets wrap it up Dems.  Lets have the vote.  Then the real trial will begin.  Idiots.

Desperation is setting in. You can tell by their comments. This BS isn’t going to stand and they know it.

There is zero chance of him testifying in front of that clown Schiff.  

Well according to Nancy he needs to prove his innocence. Someone needs to tell her that’s not the way it works. :lol:

Typical dem... doesn't even let his wife have an opinion.

Typical repub not paying attention.

My wife has no opinion on this if congress requests them. It’s the law.

Congress has requested Trumps returns and his minion at the treasury has refused. Congress has the legal right to request any Americans tax returns.

Trump is breaking the law and the lower courts have have stated.

Plus few if any in congress and the general public would understand his tax returns.  hundreds of assorted LLC's and trusts and depreciation and loss carryovers would make peoples heads explode.

Pretty sure if their was something scandalous in Trumps tax returns they would have been leaked long ago.

My guess is he just dosnt have anywhere near the money he claims to have.

And even if true, who cares?  Its not an impeachable offense.  Just more fodder for the Dems to run out the clock until the election.  Can you just imagine the shit spin they would put on every line item of it?
