54. Consider what his image is now - in the mainstream media and worse in the Fox News area

If they call him, the Democrats can ask questions too. The narrative now is that he is an unaccomplished deeply troubled person. How many Yale educated lawyers have been defined that way?

As to Joe Biden, I don't think the long hours on Benghazi harmed HRC. Consider that all but the most junior Senators know Biden personally. Many of the oldest might even have seen the Biden boys growing up.

Just heard on MSNBC that there me be a deal in the works with 1 witness for 1 witness... [View all] Demsrule86 Jan 2020 OP

Yup....Bolton for Hunter Biden......just heard that as well. a kennedy Jan 2020 #1

And if Roberts was truly impartial dflprincess Jan 2020 #3

Roberts is just the referee Jose Garcia Jan 2020 #43

It's a trap lapfog_1 Jan 2020 #20

But probably not in that order FBaggins Jan 2020 #28

Didn't Bolton meet with McConnell before agreeing to testify before the senate? CrispyQ Jan 2020 #51

But didn't the impeachment process "preempt" executive privilege with Nixon? skip fox Jan 2020 #57

Hunter should be a trap for the REPUBLICANS. He'd draw Hortensis Jan 2020 #38

No Dem should be scared of any witness the GOP wants to call DeminPennswoods Jan 2020 #2

The problem is, Hunter has literally nothing to defend here. herding cats Jan 2020 #5

Hunter Biden will also get to put the truth out DeminPennswoods Jan 2020 #8

Under their narrative? herding cats Jan 2020 #14

Hunter Biden already tried to get out in front of DeminPennswoods Jan 2020 #18

Yea, I saw that and it didn't resonate. This, too, will backfire. herding cats Jan 2020 #19

No, we can't legitimize what Trump did. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #25

There would be one big difference however, PRETZEL Jan 2020 #39

It is a bad idea...there is no 'truth' to get out. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #15

Yes, but it allows repugs to obscure the facts. lark Jan 2020 #37

It is not a matter of being scared...the Bidens will be fine. It gives the President legitimacy... Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #12

Also, I'm deeply suspicious this is a trap and Bolton is in on this. herding cats Jan 2020 #16

I think it is a trap too. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #33

My one tiny ray of hope is that Bettie Jan 2020 #46

That is what Trump wants so no. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #22

Bolton I do not trust . . . Iliyah Jan 2020 #4

I won't be surprised to find out he was scheming the entire time. herding cats Jan 2020 #9

I am thinking we will get a better deal. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #24

I believe Biden for Mulvaney would be better. kentuck Jan 2020 #7

yes Iliyah Jan 2020 #10

No to Biden...we are not going to give Trump want he wants period. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #23

We don't have much of a choice FBaggins Jan 2020 #29

Yes we do. And we can call all the witnesses we want ...Trump isn't going to be convicted...this Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #32

How? FBaggins Jan 2020 #34

100% agree! Senate makes the rules. My question to you is bluestarone Jan 2020 #40

I don't see under any circumstances where Bolton PRETZEL Jan 2020 #41

Yea BUT bluestarone Jan 2020 #42

Agree we need to see PRETZEL Jan 2020 #48

He also said that right after talking with McConnell nt FBaggins Jan 2020 #49

SMELLS BAD!! bluestarone Jan 2020 #50

I have no faith in Bolton... but our hands aren't fully "tied" FBaggins Jan 2020 #44

I do see your point! TY bluestarone Jan 2020 #47

This cannot happen. Whoever they swap will give nothing, and 45'll use the "both do it" attack ancianita Jan 2020 #11

I agree. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #13

This is what I'm expecting. herding cats Jan 2020 #17

That's an awful idea, for a couple of reasons. coti Jan 2020 #21

Agree and for all the reasons you cited. Many Americans, out of the loop, would make an equivalency emmaverybo Jan 2020 #55

Heads I win, tails you lose. C_U_L8R Jan 2020 #26

I don't trust Bolten either. None of the Dems appear to know what he will testify to. It's always napi21 Jan 2020 #27

Should demand the right to depose first NiteOwl1 Jan 2020 #31

That's already part of their rules... but it doesn't help FBaggins Jan 2020 #35
