WASHINGTON - U.S. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday ruled out a so-called witness trade in which Republicans call witnesses Democrats want in exchange for former Vice President Joe Bidens son Hunter Biden testifying in President Donald Trumps impeachment trial.
I think thats off the table. First of all the Republicans have the right to bring in any witness they want. They havent wanted to and that trade is not on the table, Schumer told reporters during a break in the Senate trial.

Reminds me of the immigration negotiations.
IIRC, POTUS offered full DACA amnesty in exchange for a legislative bill funding the wall. Even though that was exactly what they were asking for the Dems turned him down.
The Left refuses to accept anything but total capitulation from their opponents.
lolz
Gosh, does this mean that the Dems have been hyping the importance of Bolton’s testimony to fool the ignorant, knowing all along he had nothing on Trump?
Works for me.
Fine, just cancel the whole thing. Vote to acquit and call Democrats drooling idiots at the same time.
Why is it “off the table”? It’s certainly relevant. If there’s really corruption in the Ukraine involving the Bidens then it’s perfectly legitimate to want to stop it.
Couldn’t stand watching today,but could not believe it when reviewing the events, Wallace said that Whiff grossly misrepresented the phone call.
If the Demonrats are not willing to compromise, then call for a vote on guilt. If it is less than 2/3 yes, it is all over.
What’s this trade stuff?
You call your’s and we’ll call ours. Period.

I wonder what the Obama kick back was from the Biden foreign aide scam

I thought that was the publisher kick back. Contract for common core materials results in sweet book deal.
Cash is fungible.
Do we know how much prior debt Obama had? What about the money that Rezko fronted for Obama's home in Chicago? Did he ever pay that back?

From early on I figured that “trade” was some rope-a-dope. The dems and Biden being the dope side of the swap.
He has the shield off skin color and no ex president will go to jail But NY will try when trump retires unless he stays in florida.
Both NY and the Feds will try to destroy the Trump family and imprison Trump after he leaves office.
Are they insinuating the Dems can veto a witness request? That would make it House-redux...
