It's important to note in this Senate trial for removal of State Treasurer Curtis Loftis, which is hardly a trial, Sen. Larry Grooms, R-Berkley, and Sen. Stephen Goldfinch-R, Georgetown, are not required to or sworn to tell the truth, nor have they had to in previous finance committee hearings. However, they have always required a swearing of the truth for Treasurer Loftis and his staff.
Also, Loftis is not allowed to call witnesses, no objections can be made, and there is no requirements for a quorum of members to be present.
Folks, let's call this what it is. It isn't a trial; it's a kangaroo court. It's a sham!
