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."

And just where in the hell are Barr and/or Durham?

I'm guessing shuffling papers to look busy but not doing anything of substance.

Sessions part 2.

I like how the Dems surmise that Hunter Biden, who was employed by a corrupt Ukranian company in a payoff crime, has nothing to do with Ukraine corruption.

“go right for the jugular ... Joe.”

Is he still covered under Obama’s Executive Privilege?

Yes I saw it before I posted. There was nothing unusual from a mental point of view but his actions and speech were extremely fast like someone on amphetamine.

This “impeachment” is highly unusual, this issue has never come up in an impeachment ... as the Vice President of the previous administration involved being assigned as point person in foreign policy of country Ukraine and where executive privilege is commonly asserted ... my guess is that would come up, and Biden would tie things up in knots as no one would know if what he was testifying to could or could not be claimed as such. Another way to look at it, if executive privilege expired after a POTUS’ term, can you imagine all the books that would be written by the aministration officials. My theory, since I haven’t researched it yet, is that he would exert executive privilege and not the 5th.
