  1. Send the Sgt of Arms to drag Trump to comply. Trump cant do anything about it as is. ” Make Accountability Great Again “

  2. Trump: “Nobody is giving me a chance to tell my side”

    Also Trump: “I’m not showing up to tell my side”

    1. He wants to show it live, but Liz Cheney doesn’t want it live…

      Sorry, but with all the false narrative edited media info, I don’t blame him. If you were accused of lying, but knew you were right, would you be afraid to say it to the world?

  3. The question is, when will this man be held accountable for anything he has ever done? If he isn’t, there is no rule of law or justice in this country.

  4. if he has the money and there’s no legal downside to challenge then he can either win the challenge, or at worst he can stall for time, then it seems like a no brainer that he’ll take every possible legal step between point A and B it just costs money, and he can run the clock. which, doesn’t seem like an actual pursuit of justice

    1. That’s why we really need to get enough decent progressives elected this time. Not only for this, but our democracy and our environment are on the line. DO ALL YOU CAN TO GET BLUE VOTES! VOTE BLUE!!! We have more Dems in the country, they’re stealing and preventing us, let’s STOP THEM. VOTE BLUE!

  5. Being president should require being held to a higher standard. This man failed in meeting any acceptable standard

  6. So when is he going to be held accountable for his actions because if it was an average person we would be in jail

    1. He’s anything but average… Evil genius is more like it. He’s a master at making it clear what he wants done so that other people then go make sure he gets it. He is evil though as he respects no authority whatsoever.

  7. Somebody better get him declared a flight risk, or he just might skip the country. What the extradition laws are like in the places he owns property, I don’t know. I don’t trust him further than I could throw him, and he’s way over my lifting limit. (Beside the fact that I wouldn’t be caught alive in the same room with him.)

  8. Tremendous subpoena! Everyone is saying it’s the best subpoena in history! Beautiful subpoena and everybody knows it !

    1. @M Hall 😛 don’t worry M. Well see each other again. I’ll always be around to remind you of your place in the world

  9. He will say “I Will” – his lawyers will say “He won’t” then he will say “They won’t let me”.

  10. I don’t think we’ve ever known a man so convinced he is innocent, but who is also so determined to avoid convincing others.

    1. @jimmyb524 Also, you seem mad… like does it bother you that you can’t support any of the lies you keep trying to tell?

  11. I also remember when Bush would only agree to testify if he wasn’t under oath, and Cheney was next to him to answer questions …

  12. Seriously, the reason why more and more of these high position crimes keep happening is the punishment is a slap on the wrist. 4 months! for Bannon, to them it’s a vacation, that’s it.

    1. This woman’s job could be safe . Even if she is biased she has a constipated expression that lends itself to impartiality.

  13. When I ignore a court summons they put a warrant out on me for my arrest and come to arrest me within a few days of the order. So why is this not happening with these people?

    1. Don’t despair. The DOJ already asked the committee for copies of Everything. The committee didn’t provide it at the time, because they didn’t want to stop their work (to make copies, before they’d finished & released a final report), but if the committee is to be shut down in Jan., they will have 2 months, to get their evidence to the DOJ. So, no matter what happens in the mid-terms, as long as their evidence gets to the DOJ, it can still benefit any criminal proceedings.

    2. Both IRS Lerner and AG Holder IGNORED Congressional Subpoenas with total Impunity!
      In fact Holder is the only AG in US History… EVER held in Contempt of Congress.
      Did THAT makes you real Depressed..>??

    3. Oh you heard that did you Sandi? Tough break huh? Console yourself with the fact that these are bogus charges anyway. Brush up on your first amendment.

  14. This whole judicial system for elected officials is insane my god there’s so many freaking loopholes just like there are for the upper 2% it’s mind-boggling and I can’t believe that the more you wait and see if Republicans gain more seats in Congress the Senate the house that all this could just go away it’s sheer maddening to see before my eyes!!!
