Ted Cruz: Senate Should Subpoena Hunter Biden And The Whistleblower
The Federalist ^ | NOVEMBER 23, 2019 | By David Marcus

Posted on 11/24/2019 8:24:32 AM PST by conservative98

As impeachment for Christmas heats up in Washington, GOP senators are sending a not so subtle messages to House Democrats about what Pandora’s present they are about to unwrap. Early Friday, Sen. Lindsey Graham sent official requests to the State Department for documents pertaining to Burisma and its board member Hunter Biden. Later, Sen. Ted Cruz sent out a release promising things are going to go a lot farther than documents.

“I think any proceeding in the Senate should be fair, should be open, and should respect due process. What does that mean? That means allowing both sides to present their case and if the White House chooses to call as a witness Hunter Biden, if the White House chooses to call as a witness the whistleblower, I think they should be allowed to call them. I think – both of those witnesses in particular may well be integral to the White House’s defense,” Cruz said.

This is rather significant. As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi always feared, Democrats are about to hand over the keys to the impeachment car to Sen. Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans, people like Cruz.

Welcome to the party, Senator Cruz. Glad to see you could finally make it.

Using the word “should” means we have a whole lot of nothing coming down the pipe

Only one thing wrong. That would require a fair system of justice in the United States of America.

The real America:

Dems skate. Conservatives go to prison.

I understand that on TV this morning, Rep. Adam Schiff said he “Wont” testify at a Senate trial because he has nothing to say. If the Senate has a Trial and they Subpoena Schiff can he refuse to testify? I don’t know the rules on this, but it seems to me that if their is a trial and he is issued a Subpoena he can be “Forced” to testify. Will some of you legal scholars out there set me straight on this. Thanks in advance.

Schiff says nobody is above the law. Schiff believes he Adam Schiff, is above the law.

I know what he believes, but legally, and in accordance with whatever the Rules are can he be Forced to testify under order of Subpoena at a Senate Trial of the president?

Perhaps you should consult O’Mao’s surrogate mommie, Joy, on how to proceed from here, eh?

”And I wish i didn’t know my senators’ names”

I know my reps name and where he lives. Senator’s residences I need to work on. I too (Michigan) haven’t had a Senator in many years.

“Dems skate. Conservatives go to prison.”

No truth, no justice. No justice, no republic.

Wouldn't you love to see Adam Schiff under oath and questioning by Cruz? Plus, I think Nunes, Jordan and Stefanik should be invited, since they didn't get to ask significant questions in the House kangaroo court. Yes, let the Ukrainians tell us about meetings with Biden and having him order them not to investigate Burisma. Perhaps Ms. Chalupa can tell us more about Crowdstrike and the fake dossier and how US tax dollars got sent through Ukraine and back to DNC and various Dems. This could take about 5 more years.

Easy to see why Nancy might delay the House vote indefinitely, especially since her son was part of the money laundering.
