But I sincerely hope that a the very least some of those people taking pictures of official government documents are charged with espionage, and get to enjoy some government housing for the next 20 years, that is just crazy flipping through a senators papers with a rolling video camera, saying there has to be something here we can use against this guy.

I also know they haven't indicated they will do it, but I have no understanding of how they can run this trial without subpoenaing Trump. It seems completely irrational to me that you wouldn't let him perjure himself here, because he is incapable of honesty or even taking the 5th.
While I agree with the sentiment, the fact is that this is not a trial court. The Senate can make whatever rules it wants. I am not sure if one can perjure oneself in this context, but either way, there is no chance Trump would/should answer questions (from his legal team's perspective).

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
