One outcome is that it is a trap.

If either Biden agrees to take part in this sham, then the Republican clown show
will turn the "Impeachment Trial of President Donald John Trump" into the
"Senate Investigation Hearings of the Crimes (bogus fiction) of Joe Biden."

They are not material to this trial. They are not the focus of any discussion.
They are an irrelevant distraction. If the Bidens participated, it would give
credibility to all of Trumps false accusations.

Bolton is the one who needs to grow a set of balls and testify.

Agreed. This will not stop them from acquitting. Don't give them the spotlight for conspiracies. NCLefty Jan 2020 #3
