Senate Democrats issued stark warnings on Wednesday that Republicans would severely damage the institution of Congress if they acquiesced to a push from Trump allies to haul former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter for testimony about their actions in Ukraine.
A top Biden ally, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), told The Daily Beast that calling the 2020 presidential contenderwho served for 35 years in the Senateand his son for testimony would be literally rolling a grenade down the aisle of the Senate that would have lasting consequences on the upper chambers ability to work together.
The idea of bringing in the Bidens to testify has gained traction in recent days as allies of President Donald Trump have flirted with counter-programming the impeachment proceedings in the House by having the GOP-led Senate call witnesses of their own.

I’m not seeing the problem.
Listen to what Democrats screech the loudest about in order to decide on exactly what to do first. Not only do Biden and his son need to testify, but also Kerry and his son and Pelosi and her son too.
I havent seen much working together since ObamaCare was ramrodded through both houses of congress with not so much as an excuse me to the Republican Party.
I Triple Dog Dare you Senate.... Do it.
...would be literally rolling a grenade down the aisle of the Senate
He says that like itd be a bad thing.
We must not forget Schiff, the “whistleblower”, and the two former NSC staffers who now work for Schiff. Big trouble coming for the Dems from the unlimited ability of Trump to put on his case, subpoena documents, witnesses, and treating certain witnesses as hostile witnesses.
Right!!!
IS THIS SARCASM?!?!??
If it’s not, then the D senator is clinically insane.
In other words, a typical dem.
Good. Blow up the joint.
Pull the pin and roll.
oh, like when Don Jr was called to testify? Like that?
Good call!

Oh, would that be one of those special Harry Reid 'nuclear' hand grenades?
This sounds like a cryptic message to me. There could be a lot of Repugnicans involved in this mess. I have no knowledge. Just a hunch.
Sounds like a plan...
One can smell the desperation in the democRATS threats and squealing not to do this.
They know Trump has hit the wound they don't want opened and exposed because there is a lot more than the Bidens underneath the corruption in the Ukraine.
The democRATS are up to their necks in corruption and extortion in the Ukraine.
