Impeachment |OT|

So from what I have heard many reports have come out saying that the whole Biden thing was already investigated and there was nothing that came of it right? Makes me wonder why we don't just say "Oh.... yeah sure you can interview Biden's kid if you'll also let us bring in Bolton and whoever else we want" and we'd kill this whole Biden deal because obviously it's all garbage anyway and we can still get our witnesses. I say call their bluff.
Because no matter what answers Biden gives, Trump supporters will only listen to the lengthy rants of the Reps "questioning" him. Also, Biden's not on trial.
No but can you imagine if he wins the election and if republicans flip the house?
Graham wasn't but Suekulow is now giving a preview of all of the angry yelling he'll be doing tomorrow.
"If you're going to bring up Ukraine and Trump, how are you not going to bring up Ukraine and Biden??"
Willful fucking ignorance. Going to hear a lot of this over the next while from Republicans and Trump's henchmen

Trump supporters are going to do that no matter what though. I figure the big key is for swing voters who may be on the fence. Hearing John Bolton's testimony and others that they could call to me would be worth it.
Sekulow is on CBSN and is pretty pathetic.
He's saying that if you want to accuse Trump of interference you have to accuse the Clintons of interference, too. Um... okay?

That guy might be the worst bs bluffer I've ever seen. I can see why Trump likes him, he's a domineering blowhard just like Trump, but he's so transparent I can't believe he's a successful lawyer. Or maybe he's just overwhelmed by how much of a corrupt scumbag criminal his client is.
If you bring Hunter Biden in as a witness and let republicans interview him, you are directly complicit in the very crime Trump is being impeached for. Hunter Biden having nothing to do with this is precisely the point. The GOP doesn't want to investigate him to find something, they want to smear him by association - a la Hillary, emails, benghazi. Give the public the idea there's a there there. Puttting him on an impeachment trial would be absolutely insane.
Yeah good point. Just frustrating. Just sucks when you feel like common sense can't win the day.
The WH Counsel defense is going to be a similar defense as the Kavanaugh hearing : just yelling and loud noises.
I'm not sure I have the mental fortitude to sit through however long they decide to spout bullshit.

The thing about this - GOP holds entire control over witnesses coming in. They have 53. They don't even need to do a witness trade, just call him in. They could vote right now to bring in the Bidens and Dems can't do anything about it. But they won't do it (I really doubt they would), because it doesn't help they're case at all. As usual, it's just fucking talk.
GOP loves to fear monger and create caricatures of events that disprove their theories to push their narrative. It's scary because it works for them. Its why they are pushing this Biden narrative so hard, they are already setting him up because even if he wins they have this narrative plugged into the viewers minds.
This was my thought. I think it's all smoke and bullshit. Which is why I said call their bluff and say yeah let's do the trade.
If you want to call in Hunter Biden, we should call in Dick Cheney to ask him about the Iraq war.
They can't bring in their own witnesses and not Dems, unless they want to risk Roberts finally doing something beyond gathering dust and doing what Mitch just told him to do. Roberts IS an institutionalist, but I get the profound sense he just wants this farce to be over without having to call a ball or a strike, period. If the GOP tried unilateral witness calling, Roberts would have to rule on an objection and the GOP probably isn't confident about pushing it that far.
No, this is more angry flailing rather than an appeal to baser instincts/pity.
The Kav play doesn't really work when its your lawyer flailing on live television.
That's not a trade. You assume Bolton and Mulvaney will be friendly witnesses, instead of just crying, "Executive privilege" all the time. Their "testimony" is also unnecessary and won't affect the outcome, other than ensuring the trial continues during SOTU which is a fleeting victory. Meanwhile they'll have Biden(s) on the stand for hours trying to find any gotcha they can repeat all year long, plus the fact he's sitting in a chair answering questions and Trump isn't gives the impression to casual observers that he's at least as guilty as Trump.
***Republicans block evidence***
Also Republicans: "Oh my god you keep repeating facts, we're so bored! Where's my fidget spinner?"

Sure? Roberts hasn't exactly been enforcing the fact that everyone needs to be there, so idk. I'd like to think that tho
They should be instructed to provide evidence for any claims of wrongdoing on the part of the Bidens, by Justice Roberts. Or sanctioned for Slander and Libel since it's being broadcast and recorded.
I wont hold my breath because I'm not Spec.
How many ways can they bring up how unqualified Hunter Biden was, I wonder?
