Get your facts straight

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
Why doesn't Biden just say "I'll testify right after Trump does"? dem4decades Dec 2019 #1
Biden doesn't need to given that would lend credibility to a sham senate trial onetexan Dec 2019 #7
If Trump testifies it wouldn't be a shame would it? dem4decades Dec 2019 #10
I have a bridge to sell u if u think the GOP will allow the Idiot to perjure himself onetexan Dec 2019 #25

So, now we confirm that no one has to obey a subpoena. Or just us ordinary Joe's. Lexee Dec 2019 #6
He is not a material witness Mr.Bill Dec 2019 #9

If we believe in the Rule of Law, it must apply to everyone. Lexee Dec 2019 #14
You surprised me. When a reply was posted so quickly, I was expecting a good flaming. TomSlick Dec 2019 #15
I do not want to end up in the muck and taint of all that is wrong with Republicans. Lexee Dec 2019 #20
I perceive we are in the minority here. TomSlick Dec 2019 #43
Exactly. Pretty clear. Nothing about a high road. All about the law. The end. Lexee Dec 2019 #44
It has already been established. not_the_one Dec 2019 #23
So instead Biden says he will ignore the subpoena? Not different than republicans that did that. Lexee Dec 2019 #27
Biden testifying would be playing into the GOP's trap onetexan Dec 2019 #26
Biden ignoring the subpoena would equally be playing in their trap and validating their own choices. Lexee Dec 2019 #29
Taking the high road is playing into their hands onetexan Dec 2019 #31
Following the law, not about taking the high road. Seriously? Lexee Dec 2019 #32
Joe is not material witness. He isnt obligated onetexan Dec 2019 #33
If he is served a subpoena he is not "obligated" to obey? Well then, he wouldn't Lexee Dec 2019 #34
Bottom line he is not obligated to be part of a sham onetexan Dec 2019 #35
So, he would be defying a subpoena because he calls it a sham, ignoring law, rule or procedure? Lexee Dec 2019 #36
