The White House claims House Democrats' impeachment hearings are 'baseless' and refuses to take part

So far, the Trump administration’s strategy for the final stages of the House impeachment process has been to refuse to engage unless certain demands are met, blast Democrats from the outside in the meantime and wait for a friendlier Senate landscape.

Trump’s legal and political aides have argued that participating in the hearings would only legitimize the process, even as it leaves the door open to negotiating with Democrats. The White House didn’t send anyone to fill the seats the House Intelligence Committee reserved for Trump officials during the two weeks of impeachment hearings that concluded late last month. Instead, informal Trump allies peppered the audience, including former 2016 deputy campaign manager David Bossie and a few House GOP members, including Reps Matt Gaetz and Mark Meadows , who are not on the Intelligence Committee.

That's what happens when you have no real Defense! 🤣🤣🤣

Who knew you could just ignore the Rule of Law when you're the 'Party of Law & Order'?

Those Republicans have no shame! All they need now is to wear the Nazi armband and change the party name to Nationalits, as they’re Trump minions now. Any true republican should be ashamed of this dirty, corrupt party.

Baseless it is, if you think not you must be dumber then a fence post.

Lying 🐥💩🤡s

Cowards.

I would say that too if I was a criminal.

Hasn't that been trumps ploy in every single court case that has been brought against him? fake45 joke45 MoscowMitch

Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.

Must suck to be in the minority - especially for this rogues' gallery of doughy white nerds. AOC and the squad won't be their Waterloo. Everyone who remembers how BillClinton was treated will. Start puffing up your resumes - I hear Mina Chang does fine work.

The WhiteHouse is right

The President is guilty and has no viable defense except for throwing poo at the process. Literally all the GOP is capable of these days. No wonder the toilets don't work.

As if they ever even considered it.

This man is a trader and he is not entitled to be a politician and president of America. This is a man who the Kurds betrayed America's allies who fought ISIS on behalf of the whole world and allowed the terrorist Erdogan to kill and displace the Kurds.

Have they read the transcription of the July 25th Trump-Zelensky call

Democrats still searching for a crime

Let them play on their own

Of course they would, you can’t threaten to withhold money in order to force another country to fire a prosecutor who is investigating the son of your VP!!! Oh wait, you can if your not Trump. Never mind.

I’m predicting that the Don McGahn case will be a Trojan Horse in Trump’s impeachment trial.

You accidently left out “falsely” from the title, cowards

THIS IS PERSECUTION, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. IT IS A PLOT TO FURTHER BLACKEN TRUMP'S NAME & INCREASE HATRED FOR HIM SO HE GETS FEWER VOTES IN THE NEXT ELECTION. DEMS HAVE FORGOTTEN GOD & THAT GOD SUPPORTS THOSE WHO LOVE & WORSHIP HIM. GOD IS AWESOME & WILL HAVE THE LAST WORD.

White House Won’t Participate in House Impeachment HearingThe White House will continue to sit out of House impeachment hearings next week, sending a letter to the Judiciary Committee on Friday slamming the process as baseless and unfair. Nor should they participate in this one sided Sham of the Democrats. I wouldn’t call it declining an invitation to participate either, when it’s their rules and your being judged with your hands tied and tape over your mouth. The executive must answer to Congress, or it abandons it’s legitimacy If the last word on impeachment is in the Senate, Trump will get re-elected.
