“I think what is shocking to me is, right now, despite the president claiming his innocence, claiming that he wants to present witnesses, he's the one blocking the witnesses.”The House on Wednesday approved two articles of impeachment against Trump, though House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has made it clear that she wants the Senate to set rules for the impeachment trial before she sends over the articles of impeachment.
“He could have his acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, testify,” she told CNN’s Dana Bash. “We just found out this weekend that someone who works for Mulvaney, Michael Duffey, had sent an e-mail 90 minutes after the president made that critical call to the Ukrainian president. This guy sent an e-mail. I have it here. We just found it.“
The Minnesota Democrat compared the situation to when President Richard M. Nixon was facing impeachment after the 1972 Watergate break-in. “When Richard Nixon — when those hearings were held, Richard Nixon had all the president's men testify. He had major people testify from his administration,” she said.
The Trump administration might consider Nixon’s Watergate experience to be a cautionary tale about allowing administration officials to testify. Some of the most damning testimony against Nixon came from his own administration, including White House counsel John Dean and presidential aide Alexander Butterfield, who exposed the existence of the president’s Oval Office taping system.
SethAbramson If this is the case (and I suspect she is just hedging) she would be too stupid to be President. And she is not at all stupid
Because you have nothing and if the presidents Republican Senators can't ask questions, we will see you at the Senate.
He's guilty and knows he is (TRUMP). Doesn't want to perjure himself like COHEN, FLYNN, GATES, STONE, MANAFORT AND PAPADOPOULOS!

Oh I think she does....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
IM BAFFLED AS TO WHY SHE IS BAFFLED 😮
Nice try! We the people aren’t stupid
Dumb remark! Trump doesn't have to prove himself innocent. Tis the Dems [They are the only ones pushing this] job to prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, which they haven't done. Ever heard of 'Innocent until proven guilty?'
This shows why Amy is too dumb to be President!!!
If she doesn't know why then she's not fit for the job. I mean how naive can you be?
Sorry senator but as president you would do EXACTLY the same thing.. Claiming privilege to protect the office and its ability to function is important... if you can't prove the case without piercing Exec Priv then be angry at House Dems they gave you this crap sandwich
Maybe he figures there’s no one who would lie under oath, so it would all come out just how corrupt he really is.
Trump doesn’t want the country to know the truth about what he has been doing. He would probably be jailed.
Yes. WHY WHY?
Because they won’t be able to control their Bowels 😎
only someone who is guilty would fear witnesses.
A normal way to deal with this would be to go to court. No, Democrats had to rush this thru. Now it's in the Senate hands.
What trial? The House Democrats already tried and convicted President Trump!
3 years of Russian hoax might make Republicans a bit wary. Plus FISA scandal. So let’s treat this the same as Dems did Bill Clinton. No witnesses, vote, and move on!
Was shea sleep during the illegal house goings-on? Sorry, you now deserve whatyou dealt out!
Um, it's blantenly obvious to me, he's guilty!
He can’t have anybody testify under oath! Or produce documents! He has no defense simply guilt si tge spin will continue!
You are baffled? Really?!
Because he is guilty!
Baffled? Read the testimony of Hermann Goering at Nuremberg about the Nazi's coming to power and what they were going to do to keep it.
Trump does not have to prove his innocence. Thaoe accusing him need to prove he is guilty.
amyklobuchar why do you think he’s blocking them? He doesn’t want them to tell what they know! This isn’t rocket science.
Because House does the investigating not the Senate is why
She's that easily baffled?
We all know why
For the same reason the dem house did?
Because the truth of his corruption and extortion will come out.
Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot. Why doesn’t amyklobuchar ask Schiff why he wouldn’t let Repubs call witnesses.
SethAbramson Is she seriously stumped? Anybody with half a brain knows why.
IF he was innocent or any potential witness could provide exculpatory evidence
If she's not being sarcastic, I worry about her.
79topper BECAUSE HE'S GUILTY!
Then that shows how dumb she is
The truth!
She’s right.
Because Trump is guilty and all the Republicans know it as well as Trump. The Republicans also know Trump is a ignorant ,incompetent psychotic. And that they can keep using him.
Kind of naive. Anyone who says they don’t understand. Of course we all understand. It’s called OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. Article II of the Impeached realDonaldTrump. Every single Republican needs to answer to the American people why they would vote against DOCUMENTS &WITNESSES.
Thay cant thay would be incriminating there god or committing perjury
What there to understand, Trump’s GUILTY and they know it. If put on trial and some of his administration is called to testify under oath, they would be required to tell the truth (you would think). That will not justify acquittal. They’re scared. Why, good question. Collusion⁉️
Because they are totally guilty!
An innocent man would openly show his taxes and not go to the supreme court to hide them, an innocent man would openly allow his administration to testify and produce the complete perfect phone calls to Ukraine?
lol, everyone defending this narrative is stupid...no one buys it maga
Ummm there is no trial...
SethAbramson To expose his criminal behaviour? Is her question a rhetorical one?
SethAbramson Ha, because he's guilty.
Because the witnesses are incriminating. Duh
Because he’s too guilty of his crimes, so Republicrooks & Faux News must protect him.
Why is she baffled? Are the people running this country really this stupid? amyklobuchar
She is smarter than that, has she never heard of “Separation of Powers”?
Every Republican in Congress knows exactly why trump won't allow White House witnesses to testify. They know their testimony will convict trump...not exonerate him. That's why he won't testify, because his testimony will either convict him or perjure him. realDonaldTrump
Because he is guilty as fuck and the witnesses will bring that to light (as if it hasn’t been made abundantly clear yet)
Come on amyklobuchar you understand. There's no one to defend and no defense realDonaldTrump
Because they'll only hurt him?
How does this crooked faced thing get elected?
? Democrats need more witnesses, but voted impeachment.
Then she's not as smart as she thinks she is. The coy act sucks.
No one blocks testimony that would exonerate them. 🤔🤔🤔
Jesus called witnesses.. so did the salem witches.. what other bizareee childish giberish did the TrumpDanceing Poodles rollout for the TV cameras? old fools foul to the core
Why did you block GOPs witness in the House. Karma is a B isn't it?
DUH! amyklobuchar if they testify it will be under oath subject to perjury.
Clearly the actions of an innocent Man, after all he’s done nothing wrong and it was a perfect phone call. DonTheCon IMPOTUS
If he is as innocent as he says what’s the problem?!?!?!?!
The witnesses have already testified an.vd cleared President...amy will be recusing herself, correct
SethAbramson Methinks the Senator is feigning befuddlement for rhetorical points.
Can she explain why schiff blocked them in the house?
Yeah I’m baffled too
Well Amy it may be that he is Guilty.
She’s not very smart!!
The GOP are saving their dynamite testimony that would exonerate everyone for just the right time and TV ratings. That’s the way innocent people always act...
SethAbramson Because he's guilty, Amy
Maybe the answer is in the wind cave.
Amy, because if they tell the truth, dtrump is done!
Because it makes it a thing and it wasn’t. It was all concocted like The Mueller invest and Trump said enough is enough.
SethAbramson We know why he's done it & continues to do it.
amyklobuchar you and me both!
If she doesn’t understand she is certainly not presidential timber
She's not baffled at all. That's Minnesota-speak for 'Obviously he's blocking witnesses because he's guilty.'
She is no fool, she knows why! She knows, like most Americans, that these witnesses can really only testify to his guilt or commit perjury!
Didn't they make their case in the house?
Why are you baffled? Because they know the truth about his crimes that’s why.
Says the Democratic Representative who voted “Present” on both Articles of Impeachment against trump😔 How can you trust that or her; just saying!
Better question is way did shithouse of representatives not let the GOP bring in witnesses to get us to this point ?
He knows that a few of them will not commit perjury for him. Even the most devout yes men slip off their leashes sometime.
ASK Sen. Amy Klobuchar abcnews NBCNews CBNNews NPR FoxNews Why would an Innocent man withhold Subpoenaed Documents from the House If they proved he's Innocent Liberals & Conservatives GOPCorruptionOverCountry Republicans & Democrats ReligiousFreedom GOP
SethAbramson It’s not that hard to figure out. They will out him if they testify under oath. He’s guilty. Indefensible. If IMPOTUS testifies, he’ll perjure himself, because that’s what pathological liars with narcissistic personality disorder do! It’s a given. He can’t help himself.
She seems baffled by life in general
Trump is guilty. He cannot face truth. He cannot deal with reality. His ego is too fragile.
SethAbramson I like ya but if ya can't figure that one out
Holy shit, the hypocrisy. Dems don’t like it when Republicans turned the tables after RepAdamSchiff did this same thing in the house.
It’s called payback and it’s going to be great to see the liberals get what they so very deserve. Merry Christmas! Blah ha ha ha.
I’m sure if he were innocent we would have heard from them already. AbuseOfPower Corruption ImpeachAndRemove HappyHolidays
She knows why. We all know why.
Klobuchar knows intelligent ignorance is essential for her success ! Hence she does not know why Trump blocks these so- called witnesses !
BistyCSRoss Really!
Not true! Every American is entitled to due process yet Dems continue to deny this to the president’. He does not have to prove innocence, they have to prove guilt! If they wanted these witnesses, they could’ve challenged executive privilege in court, as was done with Nixon!
It’s not blocking Its obstruction and it’s why he got impeached, don’t the republicans realize this will come out over time? Gym Jordan, Graham Nunes and the rest of the load mouths are all gong to look like Coconspiritors
amyklobuchar is not uneducated so she she must be trying to use this for political gain. She knows PresTrump is entitled to executive privilege & Congress is entitled to challenge that privilege in Court! They chose not to-why? Could it be they knew their case was flimsy at best
....um, why did the House block witnesses the Republicans wanted to testify ? Klobuchar is a stump, a political minimum. However, she is going to be on the ticket come November---old, old money in Minneapolis will put her there.
Because Democrats blocked Republicans from questioning the “whistleblower” and others. Stop acting like you don’t know why. Liars.
SethAbramson I don't know. Maybe cause realDonaldTrump is a shady crook who is guilty? Only reason I can think of. IMPOTUS
Why did democrats block witnesses in the house
SethAbramson Baffled? Come on, state the obvious - he knows he’ll be exposed as guilty.
Wait until he’s ready. We all want to hear Bolton testify under oath.
Hi. Nice picture.
Because he’s guilty!
Congress could have impelled them to testify but didn’t. It’s on them.
SethAbramson Her stupidity scares me
SethAbramson esp if she’s doing the questioning and the witnesses could be totally out of order and answer with their own questions like “do you like beer?”, “do you blackout?” and she’d just get flustered and let the witnesses rule the hearing.
Because there are no witnesses you corrupt bag.
SethAbramson Picked this from my facebook friend who is a Trump supporter:
SethAbramson Politico, as a news outlet you really suck. As for the headline, I seriously doubt Senator Klobuchar doesn’t understand trumps predicament in having any fact based witnesses testify under oath in a senate trial in full view of the country. Do better.
Nor do I. If there were exculpatory evidence, the GOP should be shouting from the rooftops. But they're not. Which means there isn't any, and Congressional Republicans are complicit in the treason. GOPCrimeSyndicate GOPComplicitTraitors
SethAbramson If you were wrongly charged with a crime wouldn't you want to put out ALL the evidence to prove you were innocent. Add on top of Dotard the personality he has is to project himself as the best at everything he does he'd surely revel in rubbing folks noses in that evidence. 🤔
It was the House that was supposed to make the case for impeachment. They failed miserably. They could have called these witnesses & followed it thru into the courts. The Senate isn’t going to do the job that the House failed to do.
House majority sets the rules. Senate majority sets the rules. And Amy must recuse. amyklobuchar
perhaps because there AREN’t any? duh
Why Lol
I am warming up to Ms. Klobuchar! Tells it straight up.
It’s easy, she shouldn’t be “baffled”
Duh.
SethAbramson Psst amyklobuchar .... realDonaldTrump is blocking witnesses because HE. IS. GUILTY. A.F. Duh!!! ImpeachAndConvictTrump
SethAbramson Wow Amy Klobuchar perhaps the obvious reasons they will incriminate him more I'm sure there's plenty more to learn
Because they can't find anyone to provide exculpatory testimony. Trump is scared shitless, especially at the possibility of someone like Bolton going on the record.
SethAbramson Especially when 45 says he’d be happy if they testified.
amyklobuchar keep that same energy and make a difference in voting! If it’s not what would take place in a court of law it’s wrong! The SpeakerPelosi needs to serve subpoenas and anyone not complying bench warrant SenSchumer time to show what u can do go after weakest links
Huh? The Senate hasn’t officially been informed by the House. Administration cannot block business of the Senate. When will these people learn their jobs?
What a fool
The Democraps really don't understand much of anything just think if one of them gets elected
If you’re that stupid, resign for our government?
Dang! You just can’t make this stuff up what’s going on in the Democratic Party! Impeach our President for quid pro quo and then do the exact same thing to the Republican senate! It’s karma time, and it’s gonna hurt!
Do democrats tell the truth about anything. The President wants a long Senate trial to clear his name.
If you don’t know Amy then you should withdraw your campaign for President. If you’re playing dumb we don’t need anymore of that in the White House.
Because he's PresidentPussyAssBitch
Really? Can't figure that out? Here, I can help. PUTIN money $$$$$ PUTIN $$$$$ MONEY PUTIN $$$$$ money PUTIN
Because the witnesses will be the turning point and Trump will be removed if/when new testimony comes to light. .amyklobuchar and Trump know this. We are witnessing pure political theatre and jockeying for position. Trump is on the ropes. ImpeachAndRemove
It's called executive privilege and the Senator is a POS .
I think she knows why
I'm not baffled at all. If Trump had witnesses that could exonerate him, it would be a slam dunk. There are no such witnesses. Has any single Republican defended Trump's actions. Yeah. Crickets.
Baffled? The Republicans don't want the truth to be known.
Why would anyone consider this hard a**ed woman for President? She apparently abuses her staff, this is an ugly trait and not acceptable behavior. Imagine, once she has ultimate power, how abusive she could become.
Because Trump is guilty as shit.
We do...
Because there is no defense for his actions?
Klobuchar understands why, she is not baffled. shame on you for thinking your readers are so easily manipulated amyklobuchar
Is she for real or she’s trying reverse psychology? If she really doesn’t understand, she should drop out now.
The answer is simply that he is guilty and is a tool of Putin. He admitted it again this week when he said Putin told him about Ukraine messing with the 2016 election. Putin's chief stooge is Donald Trump.
Not surprising, although I think it would be smarter politically for the Trump and the Republicans to call Hunter Biden as a witness.
LoL
Is she just acting stupid or is she really stupid? Either way not a good look.
CathyJoeGPT
Because he is scared.
Because Democrats are trying to find a crime not prosecute a crime. They have been on this witchhunt even before Trump took office!!!
