Could trump have told Emily Murphy to give it up?

She didn't testify today--I think it was to be under oath--and I'm sure she would have been asked
if donnie made her stall (which I think he did). Lying would have made her a criminal, and donnie
knew she would cave. So now she won't be testifying. And donnie won't be in trouble for the holdup
of funds and information.
Just an idea--

4. This delay possibly compromised national security and cost American lives. She will have to testify

at this point, she won't succeed on dodging being under oath just because she eventually caved.

The orange asshole doesn’t do confrontation. Melania told him to cut the shit and some else told Emily to certify it.

6. No. I think she wanted another week and Congress called her, she had nowhere to go but sign it.

Then Trump jumped on it once he heard she was doing it to save face.

Didn't the House require a meeting with her office today? I believe she was sending a deputy or stand-in instead of appearing in person.

She kinda reminds me of Trashcan Man from Stephen King's, "The Stand". Randall Flagg didn't even know he existed but Trashcan kept chanting, "My life for you."

It's not in Trump's makeup to instruct someone to to the right thing, for the sake of doing the right thing.

How ya going buddy?
