Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) isn't scared, and he doesn't think his fellow Democrats should be either.

Manchin on Wednesday suggested he's open to calling Hunter Biden as a witness in the impeachment trial. "Being afraid to put anybody that might have pertinent information is wrong, no matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican," he said during in an interview with MSNBC's Willie Geist. "If it's relevant then it should be there."

There are still 80 Judge seats to fill and this November Republicans have to defend twice as many Senate seats as the RATs. Get those judges in while we still can!

Please remember the double standard.

17 witnesses hostile to Trump called by Schiff. Zero——zero-—allowed by Schiff to be called by GOP. Carefully orchestrated leaks and then hostile statements against Trump sent to willing sycophant media propagandists. “Constitutional expert professors” and other POS “witnesses” who saw and heard nothing. Whistleblower protected like a handwritten Thomas Jefferson Declaration of Independence copy. Sacrosanct.

Roughly half of Americans want Trump impeached and removed.
Smears and slanders and slurs against him due to being impeached.

AND TRUMP IS AN INNOCENT MAN.

He did nothing impeachable. All presidents negotiate payments and deals with foreign governments and protect the American people by investigating shady money transactions that make American tax dollars disappear (Biden).

Now, we expect honest and fair GOP witnesses to be allowed.
Since it’s the Senate. But Hunter Biden and others will take the Fifth. So no news.

Vicious, vindictive Bolton and others will gleefully stick knives in the President’s back and get top headlines and book sales for it. Gen.Kelly and many more wish they cold testify, too. Hunter Biden takes the Fifth.

Schiff put on pedestal as leftist hero and great American icon. Nadler and Pelosi right behind him.

Manchin trying to be simultaneously for and against acquittal. Needs to maintain his leftist bona fides to run as the Rat nominee in 2024 and look moderate for his constituents.

Can anyone explain to me what good could come from having Hunter Biden testify?

I mean, do you seriously think he would be telling the truth up there?

I love the MSNBC news anchor’s face as Manchin answers the question. Good to know he’s not biased at all. 🤣

Manchin is a fraud.

He always runs home to his brethren.

Slime waits until his vote doesn’t matter

Heh, who says Hunter Biden can’t be investigated after they vote no on witnesses? There is certainly plenty of information out there, now.

I’m thinking that The Turtle pretty much left the RINOs alone and worked on the Dems. With Manchin supporting Biden Jr. testifying, that left Doug Jones being forced to do the same, and then you have Kyrstin who is open to the idea, and Wifi probably just plain sick of the trial, since its ending with a Trump acquittal being a done deal.

With the Republicans ready to call Hunter, the Dems have NO CHOICE but to end it all...they CANNOT let Hunter take the stand, no way. And so it’s game over, and time to vote.

Of course he’s not scared. Hey is a transcrip of Hunters testimony

I take the 5th
I take the 5th
I take the 5th
I take the 5th
I need a 5th
I take the 5th.

Then the news will report how Hunter and his brothers sister wife impregnated by him had theiru born hillbilly baby threatened and he really wanted to talk, but evil Trump supporters would kill their unborn child....and not in a abortion murdering way where the DNC makes money off the body parts and donates parts sold to Hillary.

I’d say Joe ain’t too excited about Bernie or Joe being the Captain of the Dem Titanic...
