Democrats reiterated Monday a threat to punish former President Donald Trump for not testifying at the impeachment trial in the Senate, which begins Tuesday.
In a short filing responding to Trump’s lawyer’s 75-page trial memorandum, submitted Monday, the House impeachment managers — all Democrats hand-picked by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) — wrote:
[T]he House has invited President Trump to voluntarily testify under oath, yet President Trump immediately rejected that opportunity to tell his story. The House will establish at trial that this decision to avoid testifying supports a strong adverse inference regarding President Trump’s actions (and inaction) on January 6.

There’s absolutely nothing they can do to him since Roberts isn’t even presiding the entire trial is unconstitutional to begin with
To which Mr. Trump should politely say... "GO PI$$ UP A ROPE A$$HOLES!
Smart move by Trump. The Dems have nothing right now, but they will try to bait him into a perjury trap.
They know they won’t get the votes but they would love video of themselves pretending to be self righteous and he having to listen. It’s all about the optics for them
This “spite impeachment” is wearing real thin.
Let he pogroms begin
Demonrats are NOTHING but ANTI American SCUM
PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So much for the fifth amendment.
Where’s my $2,000 check? Where’s my student loan debt relief? Where’s my $15 minimum wage? Why is the southern border wide open in the middle of a pandemic? The troubling questions for this fake, fraudulent government are adding up.
Purge Is The Game!
I so hope that they get Trump-handled just like every time before. Go get em PRESIDENT!!! Zero mercy!!
Nancy Pelosi and her scumbags. Would make a great band name for them, in jail.
From a comment on ZeroHedge:
“A small group of elites gathered behind fences and razor wire to install an illegitimate leader. They are guarded by 25000 soldiers with machine guns in a closed capital city.
A trial of an opposition leader not in a court but in a political body controlled by the regime in power. There is no judge in charge of the proceedings, a regime politician will serve as judge and juror. The stated goal of the proceeding is to insure that the opposition leader is not elected to a position of power.
A state media labels the opposition leader a threat to the republic and his followers as insurrectionists who will need to be deprogrammed.
The leader makes daily appearances before the cameras to sign his proclamations. No debates, no legislation, no questions, only the signature of the leader on his orders.
This is what despotism looks like.”
This is a communist “show” trial.
Spot on.
So every low-life criminal in America has the right to not testify in his own trial via the 5th Amendment, but Donald Trump doesn’t?
That’s exactly what it is, despotism. When you lay it out like that, it’s undeniable.
Americans never thought it could happen here but we were too complacent, too willing to ignore the incremental violations of our freedom and the rule of law, and now it’s too late.
