Recalling Hitler’s 1924 Trial Speech, MSNBC Warns of ‘Risks’ if Trump Speaks at Trial

MSNBC writers are today’s equivalent of those of Joseph Goebbels crew. Psychopathic haters who should be in an insane asylum, not in the American media.

If Trump did speak at his impeachment trial many democrats would be called to speak under oath and that’s the fear the democrats have.
Because the are mountains of evidence against them.
