| Trump is hijacking the impeachment hearings |
| 2019-11-19 |
| h/t Instapundit [Boston herald] President Trump is calling Nancy Pelosi’s bluff, dramatically raising the stakes of the impeachment hearings with a threat to offer testimony to House investigators. And the ploy could work. Trump is hijacking the hearings for a second straight week, overshadowing the Democrats’ carefully choreographed plans to methodically call witnesses to show Trump tried to bribe Ukraine to dig up dirt on Joe Biden and his son Hunter. The House speaker initially launched this latest twist, in an interview suggesting Trump should testify himself or in writing. It was said more in a condescending tone than a serious offer, and even the CBS interviewer scoffed at it. But it was the perfect opening for Trump, who tweeted on Monday that he liked the idea and would "strongly" consider it. |
