White House will not participate in Judiciary Committee hearing

[Poiuyt]

Neither President Donald Trump nor his attorneys will participate in Wednesday's House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing, they said late Sunday.

In a letter to Chairman Jerrold Nadler, White House counsel to the President Pat Cipollone said, "We cannot fairly be expected to participate in a hearing while the witnesses are yet to be named and while it remains unclear whether the Judiciary Committee will afford the President a fair process through additional hearings. More importantly, an invitation to an academic discussion with law professors does not begin to provide the President with an semblance of a fair process. Accordingly, under the current circumstances, we do not intend to participate in your Wednesday hearing."

4. they know very well this is an investigation, not a trial.......

letters like these are just red meat for the media and deplorables to paint the process as unfair. also there is ZERO incentive for them to participate at all in this process when they know mcconnell will be rigging the senate trial for them.
