Time to get Rudy Giuliani in the witness chair

If you were on Twitter on Thursday, you probably saw NBC News get mercilessly pummeled for this article, but more so for this tweet, which summarized the article by saying that the first day of impeachment hearings “lacked the pizzazz necessary to capture public attention.”

The criticism was appropriate — we’re talking about abuse of power and violations of the president’s responsibilities, and there are more important things to worry about than whether the proceedings feature sufficient pizzazz.

But you know who would bring pizzazz to this proceeding? And who is also a vital fact witness who needs to explain what he and the president were up to in Ukraine?

Rudolph W. Giuliani, that’s who. Get him in the witness chair, and we’ll have some serious pizzazz.

Democrats issued the Trump lawyer a subpoena for documents and records, which he said he’d refuse to comply with because breaking the law has apparently become something of a habit. Democrats could subpoena Giuliani directly, and if he refuses, which he would, they might consider taking him to court.

That's would be a real horrorshow. But he'd probably plead the Fifth ad infinitum. Nitram Nov 2019 #4
