If I were as guilty as Trump, I wouldn't want witnesses or evidence introduced in my trial either. Just imagine if every criminal could block any and all evidence from being introduced into their trials. No one would ever be convicted of a crime again. We could also do away with laws all together. Because what would be the point of having laws if you can't even convict someone of breaking them.

What do you call a trial without witnesses and evidence? It's called a farce and a cover-up. What do you call a country that would allow something like this to happen? You would call it a banana republic, and a failed State. If this is allowed to happen, It will be yet another example of Trump and republicans giving a middle-finger to the American people, and the Constitution. A president should NOT be able to use executive privilege in an impeachment trial to cover-up his crimes. It doesn't get more unconstitutional than that. If this is allowed, it means that instead of a president, we have a King and or dictator. It would mean that Trump, or any president, could literally get away with anything he wants to do by simply claiming executive privilege, and blocking all evidence and witnesses to his crimes.
