Biden says he won’t be part of witness deal some Democrats reportedly eyeing

Joe Biden, the 2020 Democratic presidential frontrunner, said Wednesday he wants "no part" of a witness swap reportedly being discussed by some members of his own party.

Under the hypothetical deal, Democrats would reportedly offer up Biden or his son Hunter Biden to testify at President Trump's Senate impeachment trial in return for testimony from a Republican figure, such as ex-national security adviser John Bolton.

The Washington Post quoted the former vice president admitting that it was "not an irrational question" but said Trump's trial was a "constitutional issue." He said he does not want to see the trial turn into a "farce or some kind of political theater."

Biden probably wouldn’t have much say in it if his fellow rats decide to toss him under the bus.

Of course he doesn’t want to testify; he would be under oath and so would his lying son.

If he’s subpoenaed and refuses to show then what are they going to do? Charge him with contempt of Congress? Starr says that’s not even a crime.

This impeachment is supposed to be a two-fer. Take out Trump and Biden.

And we all know who's been flapping her vodka soaked mouth recently don't we?

That’s ok. I just want to see that Joe and Hunter have some “chats” with Barr and/or Durham.

If Joe gets invited to the Senate Trial, he won’t get an option to decline.

He doesn't have to be part of the deal. That's like some mafia boss saying, I'm not going to be part of any arrangement cooked up by the courts.

Really?

You're not going to be part of it?

You're going to X yourself out, like Charlie Manson did?

Why should any rat have a say?

IT’S UP TO THE JUDGE!!!

Defense counsel says, your honor, we would like to call this witness based on this relevance.

At that point, IT’S UP TO THE JUDGE!!!

It’s definitely not up to the witness. And though the prosecution can object on grounds of relevance, and might win the argument and persuade the judge, ultimately the decision to allow a particular witness IS NOT UP TO THE PROSECUTION.

IT’S UP TO THE JUDGE!!!
