Trump Brags About Concealing Impeachment Evidence: 'We Have All the Material, They Don't'

The president says impeachment is going well and that he has been watching from Davos


President Trump said he’s happy with the way the impeachment trial is going thus far because his administration has not released “materials” that would hurt his cause.

“When we released that conversation all hell broke out with the Democrats,” Trump said. “Because they said, ‘Wait a minute, this is much different than [what Adam Schiff] told us.’ ”

The president continued, “So, we’re doing very well. I got to watch [the impeachment trial] enough. I thought our team did a very good job. But honestly, we have all the material. They don’t have the material.”.........................


When asked about the impeachment trial, Trump initially spoke about what he usually refers to as the “perfect call” with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In that phone conversation, on July 25, 2019, Trump reportedly asked Zelensky to investigate the Bidens eight times...........................

should be an obstruction charge by itself, and in a non-Barr, non-puke world it would be.

How much more foundering can our democracy take? The bilge is overflowing.

And highly unacceptable. As is his gloating.

Imagine a murderer saying in court 'Ha! I hid the body really well so you can't prove anything!'

Or. more relevant to Trump's mental capacity:

Mom: kid, did you eat all the cookies? I can't even find the cookie jar!
Kid: The absence of the empty cookie jar proves I didn't eat all the cookies.
Mom: You are going to be a great GOP member one day, son!
Kid: Thanks Mom!
Mom says nothing but goes off to look for her AR-15.

Essentially, that is what Trump is saying - I'm so clever keeping all the incriminating evidence from you!
He is not even trying to deny it, but insists the lack of incriminating evidence - caused by him - is proof of his innocence.

25th amendment - quick! Read it!
