They asked a question and she answered. Are you suggesting they edited her answer? She doesn't claim that.

And here's to what speaks to Trump's character. His daughter's testimony wasn't great but it was out there. It is his beloved daughter --- and what does Trump do. He doesn't just let it go. I didn't think her testimony was that damning. Wasn't anything we hadn't already heard or assumed.

But he had to 'dismiss' her as being ignorant of the 'numbers, etc. She had checked out. He insulted her.

His daughter knew exactly what was going on -- and so did her husband and they were careful to distance themselves from the nutters.
Blah blah blah. So why not have them be able to speak, live, unscripted?

Your article and my article have the same information, BTW. It's your taking "refusing" out of context and making it mean something it doesn't that is causing the problem.

A half truth is a whole lie. Context matters.
Why? Are you suffering from a mental decline or something, where you constantly have to be reminded about things?

The two of us were having an ongoing discussion about what was written in a particular article that I'd linked. I know you saw that link since you quoted and commented on the particular post that the link was in, and, our current ongoing discussion had been about what was in that particular link. Because of that, having to constantly repost the link for you or having to constantly give you the post # is unnecessary...unless you are having memory problems.

Many pro Trump people have been asked to testify or been subpoenaed. They refused. Some have been referred to DOJ for their refusal of a subpoena.

Wonder why they are afraid to testify? Maybe they have done something wrong? Duh!

Are you seriously still maintaining the the non-legal "subpoena" was a ticket to speak at this TV SHOW?

Really? Seriously?

Surely you understand that? He was subpoenaed for non-legal deposition in which THE PRODUCERS OF THIS TV SHOW would have the ability to play (or not) whatever clips THEY felt appropriate on the TV SHOW.

Who in their right mind would sign up for that? He DOES NOT have the ability to go on the TV SHOW and speak his mind, unscripted.

Do you understand this?
Are you really this mixed up?

Good grief you people are unbelievable.

You don't even understand that the TV SHOW we are watching is scripted. NO ONE had the opportunity to freely speak at it. The "subpoenas" were for private testimony that MAY OR MAY NOT be shown in this TV show.

Who would sign up for that, especially when it's not even a legal matter?

Are you kidding?

There is NO UNSCRIPTED DEFENSE HERE. Everything you see is carefully scripted by ONE SIDE.

What kind of person would even put any credence into such an awful display of injustice and political theater?

Most of you people don't even understand this! HAHA.

Okay I'll call your bluff.

Articulate clearly where I'm wrong. We'll wait.

You clearly have zero understanding of what has transpired with this committee, who has testified and who has refused to testify, and what the televised hearings represent.

I encourage you to watch the hearings and educate yourself about the process. Until then, maybe you can find someone else to engage with you, but I'm out.

These views begin in the Trump base and they end with the Trump base. Everybody else is a different matter.
