(58,785 posts)38. Hunter should be a trap for the REPUBLICANS. He'd draw
a bunch of viewers, and what'd McConnell get? It'd excite his base, but not expand Trump's following. Would those it showcased Republican corruption for be outnumbered by those who as usual grabbed any excuse to say a pox on both their houses? (Research says those who don't vote avoid it mostly because they don't care enough, their flaws ascribed to "the system." )
But a question is, would it even be legal? Maybe that doesn't matter in this corrupt proceeding, but can just anyone really be compelled to take an oath and be asked irrelevant questions for the purpose of smearing their reputation, even if they are not involved in the case being tried?

This cannot happen. Whoever they swap will give nothing, and 45'll use the "both do it" attack

Agree and for all the reasons you cited. Many Americans, out of the loop, would make an equivalency
