"I've nothing to hide." is what people say when they are trying to hide something. Like, "I don't mean to interrupt..." before you interrupt. If you've nothing to hide, you just talk, you don't stay silent and say, "I've nothing to hide." -- it means you are hiding something.

Appeal to the circuit. Appeal denied.
Appeal to the SCOTUS. Appeal denied.
Get this done in 48 hours. It's gone on far too long.

What a great man that Mike. He has nothing to hide but will not testify willingly on his own. How noble😢

[samantharossi]

It is not hard to tell the truth. Children are taught how important it is to tell the truth! Why are they fighting the truth? They must be guilty of something! Vote 💙

“I have nothing to hide….. but I won’t willingly testify” 😂

[jisundergroundfornow]

He knows they'll incriminate him... That's why he's desperate.

But this is pure stupidity. You can't use executive privilege against a sitting executive brach!

Never seen a self-proclaimed innocent man try so hard not to have his day in court.

[scott]

For an 'innocent' man he sure has some real worries about people testifying...

Trump must have a Guiness entry for the most lawsuits filed by a single individual

[davediamond]

"i did nothing wrong , i wont allow people to testify to that!" DJ Trump !

[johnpop]

The ruling doesn't "allow" them to testify, it compels them to testify!!!

[stanleyprince]

All these criminals lying right in front of your faces they are sickening to look at .

[mikemichaeld]

They are doing a government job they should be made to testify

[kurtzwar]

"I am not a crook" - Richard Nixon. Now it is Meadows, Scavino, Miller, Ratcliffe, O'Brien and Cuccinelli who get to go down in the latest Republican lie fest. Vote for democracy. Vote Blue.

"I have nothing to hide." Which is why I am FIGHTING so Hard against testifying.

When will the American judiciary straighten out the procedures that punish the everyday citizen with speed yet allow monied, special people be free to roam, appeal at will & who have the right to ignore rules that they don’t agree with? Will there ever be retribution, does anyone take responsibility for their wrongdoing?

[nicholascazmay]

Watch them fast track this appeal too. The justice system is getting tired of him.

[johnpop]

Some Judge somewhere once and for all has to say NO MORE APPEALS! This is such BS!!!!

[habsfan]

Pence: I have nothing to hide...but I might appeal the ruling. lol

[ronaldcole]

When you've got nothing to hide, you testify. Easy as it gets.
