You can tell GOP is scared, freaking out: Ted Cruz now "demanding" Hunter Biden testify

[EveHammond13]

they know they are getting hammered hammered hammered by Schiff & Co.

1. They're purely defensive, but recalcitrant.

That's why it was important not to give them a pivot point, like allowing a Biden to testify.

[CanonRay]

2. I wish Hunter Biden would volunteer to do so

We all know it's irrelevant bullshit, and it will just make the GOP look even worse

[bdamomma]

3. No I would not do it

the party of tRump want the trial to be a circus.

4. Then this would become about him - and it's not.

[coti]

7. Absolutely awful idea. nt

[EveHammond13]

13. no way. we would totally lose control of how that would be used.

5. Schiff said coverup twice. Is that a big deal? I thought there was just a big stink about

Nadler saying that last night. I haven't seen what Nadler said. Maybe Schiff's comment is not so direct and accusation?

[ecstatic]

9. Maybe it's just a matter of whether Roberts is napping or not.

If he's actually awake, it's a problem. If he's napping, no biggie?

[malaise]

6. I agree with the gang on M$NBComcast

This is ReTHUGs way out of witnesses - Dems won't give us so we won't give them

[ecstatic]

8. thank God Schumer shut that shit down this morning.

No way, no how. Don't do it. I'm actually disgusted by the idea of throwing any democrat under the bus for the GOP.

10. Shouldn't Ted be talking to Mitch about that?

Looks like Republicans in disarray.

11. he doesn't want Biden to testify..

he wants to testify. They probably would ask next to nothing of Biden, that required an answer, but would instead go off on riff after riff about the evils of the Bidens, and poor misunderstood Donald.

[NanceGreggs]

12. I wish someone would ask ...

... Cruz (or any other Republican) exactly how Hunter Biden's testimony would be in any way relevant to the proceedings.

I understand the motive - i.e. hoping to make this about Bidens instead of Trump. But I'd like to hear the GOP explain how either Biden could possibly have any knowledge about the events, actions, or behaviour of those involved.

A subpoena has to set out, in detail, why an individual's testimony is being compelled and how it is directly relevant to the case at hand.

What could the Republicans say? "He's got no connection to any of this, but we want him to testify anyway."

Not a viable legal argument by any stretch.

14. Googled, no hits on this on the first page ... do you have a link? tia

15. That's confirmation. Republicans are losing.

Losing badly.
