Bring on the Trump testimony.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday called on President Trump to testify before the Senate about the Russian investigation — since the commander-in-chief said he would be “100 percent” willing to speak.

“I think we could work out a way that it could be dignified,” the New York Democrat said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

“He said he would testify. So I'm inviting him to come testify, and we could work that out ... He's the President of the United States and he's got to step up to the plate.”

Trump said Friday he would have zero problems testifying under oath to counter the accusations against him from former FBI Director James Comey.

Comey testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee last week and said he felt Trump pressured him to drop the federal investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. Some political and legal leaders believe Comey detailed a case for obstruction of justice.

Comey also called Trump a liar and said he felt he needed to document their conversations in case Trump spread mistruths.

The next day, Trump roundly denied Comey’s claims — suggesting the one-time FBI leader committed perjury — and said he would be “glad” to offer his own testimony to Special Counsel Robert Mueller. But he and his legal team have not taken further steps.

I bet his lawyer advises against it. Lying under oath to Congress is what Clinton was impeached for- not his behavior.

I'm fine with a political "witch hunt". This mass delusion is cut from the same cloth as the Salem witch trials. I think we should use the same guidelines they used to determine if someone was a witch, and lets call Comey, Trump, and even the most wicked witch of them all Hillary up to "testify"
