Trump can’t help acting like a sap
And creating a witness-tampering flap.
But now he’s left us mystified
By saying he’s willing to testify.
Hey, whatever happened to fear of a perjury trap?

Poetic Justice

Verbatim

“Get rid of her! Get her out tomorrow. I don’t care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. Okay? Do it.”

“If you find him guilty, you must find that he be removed. Because right matters. And the truth matters. Otherwise we are lost.”

— House manager Adam Schiff, quoted by CNN, ending his arguments on the second day of President Trump’s impeachment trial.

“Everyday Americans know what a fair trial is. And that includes witnesses, it includes testimony, it includes both sides having a fair shot at presenting their case. And if they don’t see that, then they’ll say, ‘Well, yeah, he got off, but it’s because it was rigged.’”

— House manager Sylvia Garcia (D-TX), quoted by The Hill.

“The Constitution is not a suicide pact. It does not leave us stuck with presidents who abuse their power in unforeseen ways that threaten our security and democracy.”

— House manager Jerry Nadler, arguing it’s impossible to limit impeachment to acts that already written into law.
