President Trump’s allies say Democrats made a critical mistake by spending so much time on Joe and Hunter Biden in their Senate impeachment trial arguments, and they’ve given Trump’s legal team no choice but give the father and son's dealings in Ukraine a starring role when they launch their defense starting Saturday.
“Believe me, you'll hear about that issue,” Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow previewed to reporters Friday at the Capitol.
Sekulow said "for the life of me," he can’t understand why Democrats “opened up the door, as wide as a double door, on the Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Burisma [Holdings] issue."
"I guess they figured that was their way of getting ahead of it. We will address it," Sekulow added.
During a lengthy presentation before the Senate on Thursday, Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas, rehashed corruption allegations Trump has floated against the Bidens and sought to debunk them. The point was to show that there was “no legitimate basis” for Trump to be seeking an investigation into the Bidens, and the request to Ukraine's president was made purely to dirty up a Democratic rival who was polling better than him.
“There was no basis for the investigation that the president was pursuing and pushing. None. He was doing it only for his political benefit,” Garcia said. Rep. Sylvia Garcia says President Trump sought an investigation of Joe Biden based on a made-up theoryVideo
But the presentation took some Republicans by surprise, and some suggested Democrats may have handed them a perfect opportunity to scrutinize how Huner Biden joined the board of a Ukraine energy company, Burisma, in 2014, while his father was playing a key role in handling then-President Obama’s Ukraine policy.
“The House Democrats perhaps unintentionally threw Joe Biden under the bus,” said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.

After claiming Trump went after Biden for corrupt reasons. LOL
On PIAPS’ orders the Dems shiv Biden but frame Trump’s legal team for the deed.
Today marks the end of Joe Biden’s credibility.
You gotta wonder if Sylvia Garcia had any idea what she was saying, if she did that totally on her own. More spontaneous idiocy from the Democrat clowns!!

Sure.

There is a concept in law that you can’t unring the bell. Schifft mentioned Burisma even though the dems demanded it be kept out of the trial. Now that it is mentioned the GOP can use that evidence in their defense.
Of course she did, Bloomberg probably promised her a Supreme Court position if she helped get rid of Joe
Exploding cigar # 247,643.
Somewhat different take than Rush’s, which is that the impeachment is designed to neuter Dinobernie.
You are correct. Hillary’s fingerprints are all over this thing. THe shiv to Biden, the knife in the back of Bernie, the slur at Gabbard...
This is all about clearing the decks for the Coughing Crook to swoop in at a divided convention and take the nomination to run again.
What really tipped Garcia was when Bloomberg gave her a Taco Bell coupon for a free burrito.
What's in that hot sauce Sylvia's slurping down?
That's what we've been saying all along.......there was no wrongdoing.
That was thr entire point!
I’ve been saying since day one. This SeinfeldImpeachmenr is about taking out Biden not Trump.
If Biden is the nominee and the Dems lose, (which they will) the far left wing of the party will scream “see we didn’t go left enough” and continue to gain influence and power.
If however a far left candidate is the nominee and gets crushed thst Entire argument is dead and the far left wing of the party loses influence and the party can moderate for the 2024 election when they will actually have a shot at winning.
Why do you think Pelosi went from impeachment must be bipartisan to nope gotta do t now the minute Ukraine came up? Because Ukraine taints Biden not Trump.
This is just internal democrat politics being played out in public as “getting trump” for public consumption. This is all just a classic rope a dope to knee cap thr far left of the democrat party. Nothing. More
But she’ll have to settle for a small soda.
Garcia knew. (Probably pushing a fellow female in front of Biden)
That RAKE follows the democrats around like a bad rash.
They have the tools of impeachment in their hands, but don’t know how to use them. Like discovering they own a sledgehammer and deciding to use it to try to rob a bank.
