Why is Trump allowed to testify by tweet?

[Mr. Ected]

He is using an electronic media to give voice to his mendacious disinformation DURING AN IMPEACHMENT HEARING aimed directly at him!

The American people shouldn't hear a peep from him regarding his guilt or innocence, or the witnesses' credibility, or anything else even tangentially related to this hearing unless he is under oath and being interrogated by Congress. We govern there.

So come on, Donald. Whatever you have to say, say it in the People's House.

1. No sane lawyer would ever allow Trump to testify. eom

[onecaliberal]

2. He's a fucking liar, he can't testify under oath.

[Hortensis]

3. Lol. You should be glad. Even his ardent supporters have

long wanted him to shut up and stop tweeting himself in the head. Not to say he hasn't become scary dangerous, but politically Trump is our biggest asset and the Republicans' biggest liablity.

4. That's the same thing Zimmerman was allowed to do.

Same shit.

[Celerity]

5. His Twitter account daily breaks Twitter TOS and is massive source of hate and disinfo globally.

It is outrageous he is allowed to still have one. It is one of the biggest weapons of mass political destruction on the planet.

6. I want to know why we can have presidential tweets be legitimate comments from the WH?

What ever happened to measured speech and/or gravitas?
This orange menace in the WH is, in most instances, just flinging poo at the world when he tweets.
Why is this considered legitimate?

[Mr. Ected]

7. That's probably a more succinct way to describe the intention of the OP

It seems to denigrate the very foundations of our government and make a mockery of due process. From the sidelines.

8. He is nothing but a fucking coward.

He wants to weigh in from afar, but won't show up. He is speaking to his base, but refuses to be held accountable in front of of congress and all of the reasonable people in this country.

He is a sniveling, slimy little rat who is running scared and who thinks that he can control things by tweeting out his insane rantings, hoping that his cult will protect him and come to his aid.

I cannot wait to see him go down. It may take a while, but he will go down.
