Hey gangstas, if you're going to be doing some crooked stuff, how about you refrain from using 's, tough guys
Dems have been claiming for a while now that Bolton is the smoking gun and Hunter did nothing wrong and has nothing to hide. I don't see why they aren't jumping on this offer,Who knows what they’re talking about behind the scenes but I don’t believe they’ll ever let Bolton testify in public. Not for a hundred Hunter Bidens.
And if they did agree the Dems better make sure that includes a public agreement beforehand that Trump won’t claim executive privilege. Otherwise it’s just another sham.
You could say that about a lot of these guys. It's pretty unbelievable when you listen to it all laid out.How is Rudy not in jail?
Say hunter is guilty. It doesn’t excuse trump. It’s a distraction. If you want hunter investigate it through proper channels.Dems have been claiming for a while now that Bolton is the smoking gun and Hunter did nothing wrong and has nothing to hide. I don't see why they aren't jumping on this offer,
Maybe there is more to Hunter’s story? I am surprised we don’t have a leak on the general information Bolton has to say.Dems have been claiming for a while now that Bolton is the smoking gun and Hunter did nothing wrong and has nothing to hide. I don't see why they aren't jumping on this offer,
And I don’t believe this. He’s as likely to blow up in the dems face. I think they know that.Bolton is the smoking gun
They may not want to throw Biden under the bus unless they know what Bolton will say. Even then, they may not be willing to do it.Say hunter is guilty. It doesn’t excuse trump. It’s a distraction. If you want hunter investigate it through proper channels.
If such an offer really existed, then it's much better for Democrats to simply allow it to hang out in the open. It makes the Republicans and Trump look bad for making such an offer in the first place.Dems have been claiming for a while now that Bolton is the smoking gun and Hunter did nothing wrong and has nothing to hide. I don't see why they aren't jumping on this offer,
I only trust Bolton about 40% He could absolutely blow up in the Dems' faces,Who knows what they’re talking about behind the scenes but I don’t believe they’ll ever let Bolton testify in public. Not for a hundred Hunter Bidens.
And if they did agree the Dems better make sure that includes a public agreement beforehand that Trump won’t claim executive privilege. Otherwise it’s just another sham.
that would mean they would allow witnesses.I only trust Bolton about 40% He could absolutely blow up in the Dems' faces,
Never put someone on the witness stand if you don't already know what they are going to say. If they cannot depose him prior, they should leave it be.
As a bonus, if the Dems refuse call him as a witness, the Repubs may call him themselves, just to piss off the Dems.

Overheard convo between two Republican Senators who only watch Fox News. "is this stuff real? I haven't heard any of this before. I thought it was all about a server. If half the stuff Schiff is saying is true, we're up ####'s creek. Hope the White House has exculpatory evidence
Did you happen to see the 12 hour interrogation they delivered on Hillary? The one where she was exonerated this week? Why send anyone as a sacrificial lamb to that bs, when NO ONE can show how he was anything but a contrived distraction.Dems have been claiming for a while now that Bolton is the smoking gun and Hunter did nothing wrong and has nothing to hide. I don't see why they aren't jumping on this offer,
Yes, and who knows what the rules might be.that would mean they would allow witnesses.
I’m ok with it too but I think they view Hunter Biden as a circus unbecoming of the impeachment trial. I have a feeling we will see both not because of a deal but because they get enough votes for Bolton.Dems have been claiming for a while now that Bolton is the smoking gun and Hunter did nothing wrong and has nothing to hide. I don't see why they aren't jumping on this offer,
Imagine a scenario where McConnell can lie about trying to get witnesses (but not ) and then adding whatever he can think of to make the Dems look as vile as possible.Depends on what any of the rules end up on witnesses. Will they both agree to know who the witnesses are prior to calling them, or just you can pick a witness then we can pick a witness.
Which Dems have been claiming this? Provide quotes if you can.Dems have been claiming for a while now that Bolton is the smoking gun and Hunter did nothing wrong and has nothing to hide. I don't see why they aren't jumping on this offer,
This is why the Dems tried to pass Amendment 9 last night, which would allow Justice Roberts to decide the validity of any witnesses. Why the hell would the Repub caucus vote to disallow the Bush-appointed SCJ from deciding which proposed witnesses appear? I think its pretty clear to all parties that SCJ Roberts would call BS on the Hunter invitation. You might extrapolate the real validity of his testimony is dubious at best.I’m ok with it too but I think they view Hunter Biden as a circus unbecoming of the impeachment trial.

Bolton called Trump's Ukraine blunder a "drug deal" and resigned soon after. Not sure why anyone would need the Dems to interpret those actionsDems have been claiming for a while now that Bolton is the smoking gun and Hunter did nothing wrong and has nothing to hide.

Because Hunter Biden is completely irrelevant to the impeachment, but would still derail the democrats efforts to present facts?Dems have been claiming for a while now that Bolton is the smoking gun and Hunter did nothing wrong and has nothing to hide.

(JOKE!)
It's too bad Van Hollen's amendment was introduced and voted down at the end of the night. Allowing Roberts to rule on relevancy of witnesses would have been good for the trial.This is why the Dems tried to pass Amendment 9 last night, which would allow Justice Roberts to decide the validity of any witnesses.

GUILTY OF WHAT? Being a privileged son of a politician? That would be a hell of a long line and Hunter would be nowhere near the front of it.Say hunter is guilty. It doesn’t excuse trump. It’s a distraction. If you want hunter investigate it through proper channels.
Very few Dems have claimed Hunter did nothing wrong. The consensus, by far, has been “go ahead and investigate and if he did something wrong punish him.”Dems have been claiming for a while now that Bolton is the smoking gun and Hunter did nothing wrong and has nothing to hide. I don't see why they aren't jumping on this offer,
They don’t have to agree to anything. If they want Hunter to testify, they’ll issue a subpoena. They have the numbers and set up the rules that way.Who knows what they’re talking about behind the scenes but I don’t believe they’ll ever let Bolton testify in public. Not for a hundred Hunter Bidens.
And if they did agree the Dems better make sure that includes a public agreement beforehand that Trump won’t claim executive privilege. Otherwise it’s just another sham.
In part because there is no offer. No one offered it.Dems have been claiming for a while now that Bolton is the smoking gun and Hunter did nothing wrong and has nothing to hide. I don't see why they aren't jumping on this offer,
The very act of bringing up Hunter Biden is an admission of guilt.Very few Dems have claimed Hunter did nothing wrong.

But, as you are well aware, Hunter’s guilt or innocence is irrelevant to the Trump impeachment
Does a Senate committee have the power to have Hunter Biden come in and testify to committee? For example, could Lindsey Graham call for Hunter Biden to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee?They don’t have to agree to anything. If they want Hunter to testify, they’ll issue a subpoena. They have the numbers and set up the rules that way.

Guilty of what?Say hunter is guilty. It doesn’t excuse trump. It’s a distraction. If you want hunter investigate it through proper channels.
I'm searching...Do you have a link to anything reputable?
I had an alert earlier today on my phone making the same headline and it was from USA Today, FWIW.Not to my knowledge. Do you have a link?
Can't the executive privilege thing be worked through under the judgment from the Nixon investigations and Supreme Court case? I thought they defined what could truly fall under that category.Who knows what they’re talking about behind the scenes but I don’t believe they’ll ever let Bolton testify in public. Not for a hundred Hunter Bidens.
And if they did agree the Dems better make sure that includes a public agreement beforehand that Trump won’t claim executive privilege. Otherwise it’s just another sham.
The candy desk is very popular. Tradition in the Senate. Currently Toomey (PA) sits at it and its filled with Hershey chocolates.I'm searching...
CNN Headline - Schiff shows officials' messages seeking Biden probe
Cool, maybe they are getting somewhere. Click on the link and don't find anything about this but do find an article why milk is allowed on the Senate floor and who is drinking two glasses and sneaking in chocolate.
LOVING TOO MUCH.GUILTY OF WHAT? Being a privileged son of a politician? That would be a hell of a long line and Hunter would be nowhere near the front of it.
In essence:Lol this case by Schiff is slam dunk. This is an amazing piece of work.
the President’s lawyers are denying while they simultaneously refusing to release records which would quickly confirm and refute those accusations! These are cases in which we know there are contemporaneous notes or other records. The answers are there. But they refuse to release them. It is a damning indictment not only of the President but even more his Senate accomplices.
The President is stonewalling and his Senate accomplices are backing him up. They’re supposed to be jurors but they want to help him keep the proof secret. There’s really nothing else to say.
Most likely not. My local news channels have all been doing decent recaps though.this is wearing me out. No way average guy/girl is watching is this.
Do you think they are listening? The outcome is already decided, no?I kind of love that Republican Senators are held captive and forced to listen to this. It’s kind of awesome actually.
I would agree. As long as no restrictions on Bolton testifying, pull the trigger. If Biden did something wrong, too bad. He should get called out for it. If he didn't it would make great waves for his Presidential bid. He could run on the person that took Trump down.Dems have been claiming for a while now that Bolton is the smoking gun and Hunter did nothing wrong and has nothing to hide. I don't see why they aren't jumping on this offer,
I’ve been trying to imagine what it would be like to hear all of this for the first time. It’s so broad and so deep and so obvious it’s kinda weird it all actually happened.Lol this case by Schiff is slam dunk. This is an amazing piece of work.
Am I right that there are at least 30-40 Republican Senators are in the chambers all the time? I really don’t know.
I deleted my post because I was mostly kidding. Mostly. I don’t know what’s going on. The Senate chamber is not that big of a room, but they must be listening. Is it a bunch of 8th graders on Snapchat during chemistry? No idea.Do you think they are listening? The outcome is already decided, no?
If he was in Jail, he would be Epstein'dHow is Rudy not in jail?
Ok, still 32 Republicans stuck in there like some grownup penance hall.I’ve been trying to imagine what it would be like to hear all of this for the first time. It’s so broad and so deep and so obvious it’s kinda weird it all actually happened.
At one point today Bennet was gesturing at all the empty seats on the floor, wondering why the hell it was allowed and trying to express his displeasure without talking. At the time, there were 23 Senators not present, 21 of them Republicans.
