tRUMP may have already morphed into a DICTATOR! We will all see. Then WHAT will also be seen. It's not good with 70% wanting IMPEACH & REMOVE.

Ummm, because the whole thing is a joke. That would be my guess.

the republicans gave documents and files to Mueller, People having to be question for 30 plus hours. Ken Starr said as long as the president has no due process he is right on staying away. Illegal impeachment scam will all come out in court

Listening to Cruz this week and Kennedy last week is very disturbing, I agree.This perverted position regarding Ukraine meddling in the 2016 election is prevalent across the GOP. The only thing worse than an impeached DJT is a exonerated impeached DJT. Speaker Pelosi please note.

Why participate? It would be used to legitimize a process they say is unfair and they would be blocked from presenting their chosen defense. Best to wait for a fair process.

They won’t mount a defense because they don’t have to. They are rubbing our noses in the fact that there is nothing we can do to prevent them from turning our country over to Putin. It is part of the plan.

Yeah.... we’re bored and we’ve moved on, kids. Wake us up when you’re done and Trump is completely exonerated of all your hearsay, hurt feelings and opinion ‘charges’ by our Senate Heh, we’ll have a big celebration and then we’ll re-elect him 😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Same could be said for the Democratic Party.

Because the real show will be in the Senate!!🤦 Enjoy the show!! Popcorn ready!! horowitzreport

It's as simple as they can only hurt their case since senate repubs are sellouts to trump over America.

Guilt, stupidity and just No self-respect ... Sad

We all want Trump defeated. But we can also see impeachment is not going to work. Republicans still control the Senate. We need to beat him on election day. Biden, Sanders, and Yang are the only ones who match up favorably. So let Yang into the debate and stop blocking him

Because we have the transcript of the call and Zelensky saying no quid pro quo! 😂

While the democrats were running this impeachment sham, Trump was negotiating the release of a US citizen with Iran.

If they send a defense team, they have to face serious and damning questions. It's better for them to just make shit up and bitch on Twitter.

She’s exposing her party to the hoax. Can’t wait to see Dems in the hot seat! 🍿

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.

White House rejects House Judiciary's invitation to participate in impeachment hearingsIn a brief letter to the committee chairman, the White House counsel sharply attacked the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. Must have something to hide. hardball If trump is so innocent as they claim trump to be, if you republicans really want to do damage to the democrats reputations, wouldn’t you think trump and his lawyers do everything in their power to show the proof the republicans have to exonerate trump?
