Dems Warn Against Calling Bidens to Testify: It ‘Would Be Rolling a Grenade Down The Senate'

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 contender—who served for 35 years in the Senate—and his son for testimony “would be literally rolling a grenade down the aisle of the Senate” that would have “lasting consequences” on the upper chamber’s 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.

It leads to the usurper and sexual deviant Obama and money laundering murderer sex trafficking Hillary Clinton and her family and possibly even Lindsey Graham, because they ain’t going down without a fight.

“would be literally rolling a grenade down the aisle of the Senate”...

Maybe the Republicans should subpoena Guliani instead, and have him read the affidavits of the Ukrainian prosecutor who was fired because of Hunter.

Mmmmmmm.......Democrats seem to be scared silly.

I like it.

Democrats issuing warnings means only one thing: Americans must demand to hear from the on-the-take Bidens.

"Literally?" Biden literally nuzzled your young daughter while you stood there grinning at all the atention, Coons. May the metaphor be with you, you place-holding, life's-lottery-winning ass.

Note to GOP asshats:

The future existence of your party depends on how forcefully you defend PDJT and expose rat corruption.

Insufficient effort, triangulation, and other phony half measures will force Deplorable abandonment and bring about your political demise.

Throwing grenades into the Senate? That's a novel idea.

I guess they got that idea from the "helpful" Muslim Caucus.

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.

You don't just call them in on rumors... you build the case up from some people they are associated with. Which, shouldn't be difficult if they are properly investigated beforehand.

House Democrat coupists are already calling back “witnesses.” GOP Senate can’t be bothered to gather facts on the coup, apparently.

Joe DiGenova told Lou Dobbs Wednesday night:
"John Durham’s grand jury exists for one reason, and one reason only ......people are going to be indicted.”

DI GENOVA STATED: "Several Obama DOJ Officials Will Be Indicted. “I would say explosive and I would say for people at the highest levels of the FBI and at the highest levels of the Justice Department, more important at the Justice Department, it’s going to be devastating. It’s going to ruin careers, it’s going to make people have bar problems."

"What’s clear now we know is that the senior levels of the Obama Justice Department were complicit in knowingly submitting materially false applications to the FISA Court for an illegitimate counterintelligence purpose. Not for a legitimate purpose but to spy on Americans for political purposes."

"And it really will end up being the beginning of the greatest political scandal in history. And it’s being held up partially because of John Durham’s new grand jury exists for one reason and one reason only – because people are going to be indicted.”

OF COURSE that’s what the Senate needs to do. They are massively corrupt and at the heart of dealings with Ukraine after all given that Snorty got a $50,000 a month gig for doing nothing more than being daddy’s spawn from a Ukranian company.

I seem to recall reading about one of Pelosi’s kids having some connections to Ukraine...the next day she decided to move forward on impeachment.

...we’re over the target.
