First, call Rudy Giuliani so he can testify about exactly what he was doing in Ukraine.
Second, call Mike Pompeo so he can testify about the situation.
Next, call Rick Perry for the same reason.
Next, call Mick Mulvaney.
Next, call Mike Pence.
Finally, invite Trump himself to testify under oath.

(82,849 posts)It's a wonder Trump hasn't been pushing for their appearance before the Committee all along! Trump has said that all these other witnesses are a big bunch of fibbers, but he doesn't send the very people who could exonerate him up the Hill. It's inexplicable.
Unless . . .

(13,783 posts)They wouldn't get any damning information, but they'd get a lot of damning video. We can't let people be pilloried just because someone trumps up (sic) false accusations that get legs.
guillaumeb

Also it will consist of soft ball, milk toast questions, just like their interviews on Fox.........

(42,641 posts)And Schiff should supply his own list, and demand that Trump turn over all the information that the House has requested, and order all the witness to testify before the House will even consider adding to the list.

(860 posts)Despite that i would like to hear his testimony. It would lend weight to the impeachment inquiry. it would sway some conservatives if he spoke up. I want the other motley crew to come forward as well
