I suppose we know the two possible responses from them: denial or just ignoring the question.

Thank you, Mr Graham

“We cannot allow future presidents and this president to be impeached based on an inquiry in the House that’s never been voted upon that does not allow the president to confront the witnesses against him, to call witnesses on his behalf, and cross-examine people who are accusing him of misdeeds,” he added.

Pence says Trump to keep promise and bring troops home

Currently working on the permanent ceasefire between Turks and Syrian forces (can you imagine that if we still had troops where we had them?)
There was no need for a cease fire between the Turks and Syria before we abandoned the Kurds and gave.the Turks the green light to invade. Meanwhile Erdogan and Putin met in Sochi. That is where the cease fire and everything to do with Syria will be decided. We are out of it.

But it has nothing to do with keeping the Kurds alive.


They can choose to keep themselves alive
The Fuck they can.

I am guessing the piece of shit is fully aware that there will be hearings and an opportunity for Republicans in the House and later the Senate and that what is happening now is staff fact finding. He has a law degree and he knows about discovery. But whinging about process is Trump's only defense at this point.

It's pretty clear that the lawyer Graham hasn't read the Constitutional provisions about impeachment.

Very doubtful.  But, as always, you're welcome to put your crack research skills to use with regard to the Constitutional provisions about impeachment.

Inquiry phase is not the trial phase, KC.  Graham, cracker, knows that. 

If I'm not mistaken, a legal professional, Mr. Lime, already explained that.  Too many letters?
