"Honestly, we have all the material. They don't have the material."

"Honestly"?

LawyerLawsuitsHat Retweeted

In an incredible exchange at Davos, @realdonaldtrump admits he is comfortable with the status of the impeachment trial because the White House is withholding evidence. "Honestly, we have all the material. They don't have the material." As always, he says the quiet part out loud.

Here’s a link to the video (at 0:19:44). The exact quote is even worse: “But honestly, we have all the material; they don’t have the material.” https://www.c-span.org/video/?468400-1/president-trump-holds-news-conference-davos&start=1161



Trump, who obstructed Congress by withholding documents and witnesses, just told reporters in Davos that the House doesn’t have the evidence, “we” have all the evidence. Given that one of the charges is obstruction, that’s as brazenly corrupt and cynical as it gets.

The thug has no respect for the USA and his enablers in the Senate are willing, witting traitors.

I used to think Trump patterned himself after Martin Scorsese characters, but he's much too stupid to pull it off.

I think he could be repeating things Ghoulliani tells him in private thinking that would make him appear smart.
