So the Repugs were outraged Trump couldn't "defend himself" at the House hearings

but in the Senate they don't want to have any testimony to be examined or cross-examined at all.

Without witnesses however will Trump defend himself?

An innocent person would relish the opportunity to "setting the record straight. He didn't because he couldn't.

Hey, you stupid Republican jackasses. Listen up.

Your opportunity to present a defense of Trump will occur during the trial in the Senate. That's how our system works. Ever read the Constitution? I didn't think so.

Can your pea-sized brains comprehend that? I doubt it.

It's up to McConnell to give you your opportunity to defend the indefensible acts and behaviors of Trump. The Democratic House hasn't restricted your opportunities to make your case. In fact, they've opened the door for anything the White House would want to present.

Of course, Trump and his lapdog, Barr, have blocked any of that evidence or testimony from being revealed to the American public. Why is that? If Trump is innocent, why in the world would he hide the evidence of this innocence?

Don't you think it's a little odd that Trump has gone to great lengths to hide so much evidence and testimony? Why is that okay with you? Innocent people don't behave this way.

Your attitude is really quite foolish. Try to square the circle of your illogic. You'll fail because you're foolish.

And full of shit.
