Scarborough Warns Dems: 'Sucker's Deal' to Trade Hunter Biden-for-Bolton Trial Testimony
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/22/2020 9:54:20 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough has once again assumed his role as strategic advisor to the Democrats. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough warned Democrats that it would be a "sucker's deal" for them to trade testimony by Hunter Biden for that of John Bolton at the impeachment trial. The Washington Post has reported that the Democrats are mulling such a deal.

Scarborough predicted that once called, executive privilege would be invoked, Bolton wouldn't give any substantive testimony, and "Democrats would get absolutely nothing out of this."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

"Democrats would get absolutely nothing out of this."

I disagree. They would get rid of Biden, who at this point has so many corruption, #MeToo and dementia issues swirling around him as to virtually render him a Dead Nominee Walking.

Since Biden is adamant that he and Hunter did nothing wrong in Ukraine, why wouldn’t he want Hunter to testify and clear their names?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

It’s a bad deal. Hunter will plead the fifth. Yes, there is an optic to that but the downside for us is far greater

IT IS ALL ABOUT TRYING TO MAKE TRUMP LOOK BAD FOR THE ELECTION. THAT IS ALL THEY HAVE THAT THEY MIGHT ACCOMPLISH WITH SOME VOTERS. SCREW EM... TELL SHUMMER SCHITF TO GO FISH..... THEMSELVES

I truly don’t know what anyone expects to get out of Hunter.

He got a job he didn’t deserve. He was paid $50,000 a month for doing nothing. So what? Has a law been broken there? Is it embarrassing? I suppose. It looks like a quid pro quo — but is it illegal? Aren’t we investigating the President? Does a sweet deal for Hunter either exonerate the President or serve to convict the President? No. It does nothing.

LOL - good one!

Another benefit is when the Biden dirt spills out it would give us a nice excuse to look at the rest of the democrats and their families... and friends (who got rich after they their 'bidens' were elected)

“why wouldn’t he want Hunter to testify”

Well, for one, he’d have to pay to send Hunter to rehab again to clear the meth and crack out of his system before he can testify.

But... but... but... I thought Hunter Biden didn’t do anything wrong. So why is Scarborough worried?

From the article:

“You don’t suppose there might be anything to the allegations against Hunter and Joe stemming from the wayward son’s multi-million dollar deal with a Ukrainian company at a time VP Joe was taking the lead on Ukraine policy, do you?”

Joe would just claim executive privilege because Hunter’s fraud occurred when he was VP and in the course of his duties as VP. LOL.

Would love that idea. Then grill Bolton for his neocon warmongering sympathies.

Biden is already spinning out fake narratives as to what happened with the Ukraine on his watch.
