“Biden’s candidacy will not survive Hunter’s testimony.”
If Hunter testifies, he will plead the 5th. As will all the demokrap-witnesses called by the GOP or by POTUS’ legal team. That’s why Senator Schmuck-NY doesn’t care if Rand Paul’s “witness for witness” approach is adopted. The witnesses the demokraps call will have come, testified and left town before the GOP calls theirs.
While I am on the topic of witnesses, I used to like Bolton. Anyone who openly volunteers to be a witness in an impeachment like he is a candidate for office is an egomaniac, an attention-getter, not to be trusted, maybe worse. His emotions may have finally cracked his cool headedness.
Impeachment is not a criminal trial. The Judge (Roberts) can instruct the Jury (Senators) that they can assume that a 5th Amendment plea is an admission of guilt for the case at hand, just like civil court cases.
Once Hunter pleads the 5th, Trump has proven that there was corruption and he was justified in all of his actions. Joe’s candidacy for his party’s nomination is not a grant of immunity for his family. The DNC convention is July 13-16.
