Schumer invites Trump to testify before Senate
Published June 11, 2017
Fox News

Sen. Chuck Schumer on Sunday invited President Trump to testify before Congress, taking the president up on his statement that he’s “100 percent” willing to speak under oath about his interactions with fired FBI Director James Comey.

“I’d like to invite the president to testify before the Senate,” the top Senate Democrat said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

Schumer, D-N.Y., acknowledged he and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., would have to confer with special counsel Robert Mueller, but insisted such testimony could be done in a “dignified” way.

 Never forget who is in charge.

I'd like to invite Chuck to get aids and die.

   I believe the last time Trump testified in a deposition HE LOSY-BIGLY!

The Litigious — and Bullying — Mr. Trump
 
By Ian Tuttle — February 19, 2016

Depositions followed, among them those of Arthur Sulzberger Jr., publisher of the New York Times, and Bill Keller, then the paper’s executive editor. Since the Times had excerpted the contested portion of O’Brien’s book three days before the book came out, it could plausibly have been party to the suit. It was no mistake that Trump had left them out.

It was during the depositions that O’Brien learned that Trump had put plants in the audience during at least one public reading of his book in Manhattan. Recorders in hand, the plants had tried to provoke O’Brien into admitting that he had written the book to slime Trump. They were unsuccessful.

And, of course, Trump himself was deposed, leading to the following exchange, a crystallization of the Trump ethos:

Q: Now, Mr. Trump, have you always been completely truthful in your public statements about your net worth of properties?

A: I try.

Q: Have you ever not been truthful?

A: My net worth fluctuates, and it goes up and down with markets and with attitudes and with feelings, even my own feelings, but I try.

Q: Let me just understand that a little bit. Let’s talk about net worth for a second. You said that the net worth goes up and down based upon your own feelings?

A: Yes, even my own feelings, as to where the world is, where the world is going, and that can change rapidly from day to day. Then you have a September 11th, and you don’t feel so good about yourself and you don’t feel so good about the world and you don’t feel so good about New York City. Then you have a year later, and the city is as hot as a pistol. Even months after that it was a different feeling.

So yeah, even my own feelings affect my value to myself.

Q: When you publicly state what you’re worth, what do you base that number on?

A: I would say it’s my general attitude at the time that the question may be asked. And as I say, it varies.

He also claimed that land in Westchester County, N.Y., had doubled in value over the course of a year. “Do you have any basis for that view other than your own opinion?” he was asked. His response: “I don’t believe so, no.”

Says O’Brien: “My lawyers stripped the bark off of him.”

And the judges stripped what was left. A footnote in the superior court’s ruling relates: “Trump contends that O’Brien acknowledged that his name was a valuable asset, calling it ‘bigger than Coke and Pepsi.’ That statement is incorrect. The claim was reported in a BusinessWeek article as emanating from Trump himself.”

In 2009, New Jersey superior-court judge Michele M. Fox dismissed the case. Two years later, Trump having appealed, a three-judge panel affirmed her decision. It was an unequivocal victory not just for O’Brien but for his sources, who remained (and remain) anonymous: “They had known him for years and had intimate knowledge of his business dealings, and I think they were very concerned about him retaliating against them,” O’Brien says, thinking back. “And the fact that he had retaliated against me was proof.”

​Five years on, with Trump continuing to threaten frivolous lawsuits — now against his Republican primary opponent Ted Cruz — the O’Brien case seems as good a portrait of the GOP frontrunner as any.

To help you sleep tonight, the lawyers have shut it down.

Sweet dreams.

Yep and he will continue the same stupid shit....

Nearly 6 months into the administration and virtually nothing gained that could be called part of a Conservative agenda....but I suppose there are a few more paying attention than were to his tv show..

Hey, if we really drop the Paris Agreement that would be something pretty significant all by itself.

If...

As well his lawyers should.  But Trump should know better than to invite the Senate to place the President under oath for testimony.

Trump is an idiot. And he has the same view of his immortality and invulnerability that 18 year old boys have.


Testifying under oath is something you do when you are compelled to do it. Nobody volunteers to go into a nest of vipers who will twist and distort every word you say to be 'somehow' incriminating. Sometimes I wonder what planet Trump came from. He doesn't seem to be an Earthling.

Chucky Schumer's  death will be celebrated as a National Holiday.


And I will observe it. Just like when Reid's brother beat the shit out of him and took an eye. If that doesn't deserve a drink and a toast, then nothing does.

[cato potatoe]

Senate testimony would be catastrophic.  They could ask him anything, and he is liable to say anything.  Trump needs to shut the hell up and let this die on it own.  People are getting bored with it. 

[Emjay]

It is well accepted that Trump has opened himself up to every bad thing that has ever happened to him.

You don't need to make that comment every time.
