I can't believe how silly it is to consider someone telling his subordinates not to do something preventing them from doing something.

You said that the reason we didn't have first hand testimony is because Trump and his administration prevented those with first hand knowledge from testifying. But nobody with first hand knowledge was actually prevented. So your explanation on why we don't have first hand witnesses was inaccurate.

So Republicans could make it so we have the people directly involved testify to what occurred. Republicans could put them on the stand. But they aren't. Why would that be?
