(CNN)Neither President Donald Trump nor his attorneys will participate in Wednesday's House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing, they said late Sunday.

In a letter to Chairman Jerrold Nadler, White House counsel to the President Pat Cipollone said, "We cannot fairly be expected to participate in a hearing while the witnesses are yet to be named and while it remains unclear whether the Judiciary Committee will afford the President a fair process through additional hearings. More importantly, an invitation to an academic discussion with law professors does not begin to provide the President with an semblance of a fair process.

I like it. We are not going to play ball when we don’t even know who all the players are.

Yes - me too. If it’s a fair game, they’d let everyone know the rules.

This is a good call. The only danger out there is that Schiff/Nadler/Pelosi figure out what a mistake it will be to send this to the House and choose to do endless investigation in the House without ever forwarding articles of impeachment to the Senate.

Once it gets to the Senate it’s in their world and they can adopt rules (Federal Rules of Evidence, for example) that will favor an early acquittal. But not so early that it does not allow for compelled testimony from the deep state actors who got this rolling, as wel as those who created the predicates for the Muller investigation.

Why testify and tell the truth to the American People on live TV in your defense and ram it up their Dem asses? I mean, to not show ....it’s not like they are afraid or hiding something or anything like that.

Why should he..they made up their minds in November 2016 that they would do anything in their power to remove this President because they know they cant win any other way. They hate Donald Trump, hate his family and want them all dead, why should he get involved in this nonsense

Yeah it usually doesn’t end up that way and even innocent people in court aren’t likely to get advice from their attorneys to take the stand.

One of those things that are better in theory.

Nadler sent two letters; the second letter extended the date. This is the President’s lawyer saying “up yours” to the first letter only.

It’s his Attorneys dropping theis bomb on Nadlers game....besides they knew he would be at the Nato Summit when they set their dates. So their reach out invitation was just so they could say they did so....and then just continue with their scam.

"It’s a gay bathhouse orgy with all ugly people."

If you are anatomically aware, posterior the Nadlers is the Schiff hole. Forgive my crude reference, but stuff your (Hank) Johnson down your Swalwell

True. Although those with graphic imaginations are getting visuals that will keep them awake tonight.
