Further testimony found that he wanted to join them in their coup attempt, and that he knew that many of them came armed and prepared for battle.<\/p>\n<p>The success of the bipartisan hearings in the the House drove Trump to attack them frequently, and even to threaten to sue them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=54983\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">After Goofy Lawsuit Against CNN, Trump Threatens More Suits, Including the January 6th Committee<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most noteworthy news coming out of this hearing was that the committee voted to subpoena Trump to testify. There have already been hundreds of witnesses, most of them Republicans and veterans of the Trump administration. And the case against Trump is regarded by legal experts as overwhelming and airtight.<\/p>\n<p>The last piece of the probe&#8217;s puzzle would be Trump&#8217;s perspective. Not that it&#8217;s necessary at this point given the volume of testimony and documentary evidence already compiled. But if nothing else, it would give Trump an opportunity to make his own case. So naturally Trump blew up and posted an incoherent response on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=55003\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his fatally floundering social media scam, Truth social<\/a><\/strong>. Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/109162840858899058\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">whined<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Why didn\u2019t the Unselect Committee ask me to testify months ago? Why did they wait until the very end, the final moments of their last meeting? Because the Committee is a total \u201cBUST\u201d that has only served to further divide our Country which, by the way, is doing very badly &#8211; A laughing stock all over the World?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump is exhibiting his notorious ignorance of legal matters in this comment. The principle targets of any investigation are always interviewed at the end so that their version of events can be compared to those of other witnesses. What&#8217;s more, Trump was actually invited to testify voluntarily, and told that he was welcome to come before the Committee at any time and at his convenience. He repeatedly declined and castigated the Committee with childish insults, including his pathetic nickname, the <em>&#8220;Unselect&#8221;<\/em> committee.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is unlikely to comply with this subpoena without engaging in a drawn out and futile legal battle to quash it. That&#8217;s his modus operandi to pursue perpetual delays. To date his efforts to avoid subpoenas in other cases have all failed. So when he was ultimately forced to comply, as with the New York Attorney General, he showed up and pleaded the Fifth Amendment more than 400 hundred times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=54174\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Snowflake Trump Pleads the Fifth Amendment, So Let\u2019s Break Down His Desperately Deranged Reasons<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clearly Trump doesn&#8217;t believe that <em>&#8220;the Committee is a total &#8216;BUST&#8217;.&#8221;<\/em> If he did he would jump at the chance to appear <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52563\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">with his allegedly irrefutable evidence of election fraud<\/a><\/strong>, and embarrass the Committee with his brilliantly constructed defense.<\/p>\n<p>To the contrary, Cadet Bone Spurs is demonstrating again that he is a pitiful coward who is too scared to take a stand on his own behalf. Unlike his nemesis, Hillary Clinton, who testified before a Republican congressional committee for eleven hours, answering every question, and not complaining once about being persecuted, or calling her interrogators infantile names.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s comment closed with the accusation that the Committee is trying to <em>&#8220;divide our Country&#8221;<\/em> and has made it <em>&#8220;A laughing stock all over the world.&#8221;<\/em> As usual, he is projecting. Because that&#8217;s exactly what Trump himself has done. And now that he is being offered yet another chance to state his case, he will surely continue to refuse in favor of inducing more division and laughter at his own expense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=53329\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crybaby Trump Slams the January 6th Committee For Nixing His Witnesses \u2013 Who Refused to Testify<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Trump posted a couple of additional similarly feeble comments.
