Trump Brags About Concealing Impeachment Evidence: 'We Have All the Material, They Don't'

The president says impeachment is going well and that he has been watching from Davos

By PETER WADE

President Trump said he’s happy with the way the impeachment trial is going thus far because his administration has not released “materials” that would hurt his cause.

“When we released that conversation all hell broke out with the Democrats,” Trump said. “Because they said, ‘Wait a minute, this is much different than [what Adam Schiff] told us.’ ”

The president continued, “So, we’re doing very well. I got to watch [the impeachment trial] enough. I thought our team did a very good job. But honestly, we have all the material. They don’t have the material.”

Trump made the stark admission while attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

When asked about the impeachment trial, Trump initially spoke about what he usually refers to as the “perfect call” with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In that phone conversation, on July 25, 2019, Trump reportedly asked Zelensky to investigate the Bidens eight times.

With Chris Matthews, one of Trump's spokespersons at The White House was just on doing clean up on aisle 5. "Oh, he means the facts are on our side. We have the facts.'

This idiot needs to have staffers tell the masses “what he really meant was...” all the time. Yet we’re to believe he’s a “stable genius”? Just like when he initially said he didn’t know why it would be Russia, he meant what he said. Just like Mulvaney meant what he said too.

by every Democrat running for office, against all the republicans in the Senate who are seeking another term, along with trump asking for Chinas help on TV to get dirt on Biden.

I am also sure he will give them more as the days go on. He just can't keep his fat mouth shut, which is great for Democrats.!
