Time for a vote Nancy!

I sure hope Trump firmly believes he has the GOP on his side in the Senate because I sure as hell don’t.

How exactly can Biden refused to testify?

[Hoosier-Daddy]

I don’t trust them as far as I can throw them.

mcconnell will never alow Trump to expose the deep state in a senate trial. mcconnell will limit Trump’s defense to the actual articles of impeachment. He will not allow Trump to investigate anything Trump wants. The goal here is to damage Trump’s chances in the 2020 elections.

RE:”How exactly can Biden refused to testify?”

The same way those who refused the House investigation Subpoenas did.

mcconnell will limit Trump’s defense

If this happens, Trump's responses will be epic against McConnel - Can he take it?

How can Biden refuse? He’d have to take the Fifth.

But I’ll tell you what will happen the cowardly republicans will not have the nerve to call him I hope that Trump has the right to directly call witnesses.

He would just not show up.

and will reveal, for the first time, how corrupt our system really is

That's a message aimed directly at mcconnell. I don't believe Trump wants the impeachment to go forward at all. Once this thing is in the senate, executive privilege will be gone. bolton and others will have to testify and that could do irreparable damage to Trump. Not saying that Trump did anything wrong, but when dealing in a corrupt world you have to do unsavory things sometimes. And I believe bolton is out to hurt Trumps. JMHO

Mitt makes the rules and he will handcuff Trump bet the farm.

It doesn’t have to work that way the house chose not to enforce some of those subpoenas in court, trump would ask the chief Justice on the spot to enforce the subpoena which a trial judge has an absolute right to do, or force trump to file that request with a district court. No matter what, a court would decide the issue and order Biden testify.

In the middle of the trial I would see no reason for the issue to go anywhere but to the presiding judge which would be John Roberts.

We’re talking Trump here. If he’s put into a corner the man won’t be passive like W. He’ll fight and we’ll reach that moment when the fhit hits the shan. Trump knows he’s being falsely accused and he’ll destroy them all, including the Republicans. We haven’t seen nothing yet.

[CatOwner]

Keep dreaming.

[Williams]

The cowardice of the republicans is the only real problem that trump will face. If you recall, they were frightened by the media and democrats so that no witnesses were called in any real trial against Clinton. But this would be different because the president would be asking for witnesses to defend himself. I do wonder whether members of Congress like Pelosi can be charged with perjury for lying while before the senate. You can be certain that witnesses like Biden, Pelosi, and many others will lie and evade every question. Again, the problem is the senate has very few strong individuals.

There are questions that need to be asked. Refusing to answer will speak volumes.

DRAIN. THE. SWAMP.

I’ve never been to our nation’s capital. I think a trip there is in my future. Maybe others will want to visit, also...

I guess he can take the 5th Amendment. The old criminal fool is such a criminal...as is his extended family.
