If they want Hunter or Joe Biden to testify, they can vote to have witnesses and documents and vote to call him. They don't need any votes from Dems at all.

Let's just say every single thing the right says about Hunter Biden is true....HOW DOES THAT MAKE WHAT TRUMP DID RIGHT???? The Bidens are not on trial here the fucking "President" is on trial. I'm sorry, but those talking about trading witnesses missed the mark. You want Hunter to testify?? Then, make the orange embarrassment in the WH testify.

They won because Dems voted for them (as well as Indies & some never-trumper GOPers). They're not only voting against their party, their voting against congressional oversight and rule-of-law. Do they think they'll get many Dem votes next cycle if they do this? Or do they think Trumpers would vote for them?

IMO, politically stupid.

...he's from WV - coal mine country.

But, sometimes politicians have to do what's right versus what's prudent for their future electoral successes.

But for now, can we get on with the IMPEACHMENT TRIAL of Donald J. Trump?

He was not involved with the White house, wasn't anywhere near the president to hear anything said? I know why they want him.

I don’t believe Trump will be removed from office and if Joe is the nominee trump will continue to hammer Joe if hunter doesn’t testify
