    Why SHOULD he testify? He's done nothing wrong, that's the whole point of this. Trump was trying to smear him from the beginning and now the pubs want to use the impeachment process to continue that??.

    Is there no END to your dishonesty? At some point, the American people are going to just say ENOUGH, and I think that will be in November of 2020. I think the Republicans will be swept away with the Trumpers then. Regrettable but good riddance since they were the ones who gave us Trump to begin with.

    You are correct. Regardless of all the divisive falderal the Democrats just put the country through, the people will decide whether Trump stays in office in November. As it should be. As it always should have been.

    Let’s say Biden and his son are guilty.
    Even if the above is true , it does not make trump innocent ..

    Trump broke the law , he was not investigating He only wanted an announcement of an investigation and now the government says withholding aid to Ukraine was a crime. So charge Biden

    Maybe Biden did commit a crime , but why didn’t the GOP charge him when they controlled both the house and senate?? Why 3 years later is Biden an issue??

    Biden is not on trial Trump is. Charge Biden and put him on trial

    Now if Republican voters were not totally misinformed we would have a huge Democratic landslide. Breaking for them, we have a flat tax system if you count all taxes a disgrace, Russia wrecked the 2016 election and we're doing nothing about it a disgrace, not a single one of your phony scandals about Democrats has ever gone anywhere in the real world a disgrace, basically everything you know is wrong LOL. In the entire world, you can only get your garbage propaganda from Rupert Murdoch and radio internet demagogues.... All law enforcement and respected journalists think you are a disgrace along with your hypocrite political heroes.

    Melania would have more insight into why Trump did as he did than the Bidens - let’s ask her to testify. Trump’s son in law would have more insight into why Trump withheld funds - let’s subpoena him. We can just go down the line, fine with me.

    If they had a case, they wouldn't need to do that.

    They seem to be at the core of the issue.

    You say it's campaign interference.
    Some say it was warranted.

    Hint: Biden is not running against Trump

    Even if it was warranted trump did not handle it legally. He would have also wanted more than them just to announce an investigation publicly when these things are usually investigated prior to it becoming public knowledge.

    Obviously. Only guilty people who profess their innocence are guilty as accused, isn't that how it works?

    Trump's enemies are claiming the only possible reason why Trump was concerned with "looking into" the circumstances of Shokin's firing by Biden, was because Biden had the potential to be Trump's opponent in the presidential general election.

    By accusing Trump, they have forced Trump to justify the basis for his concern, by revealing all the information he had seen relating to the corrupt, get rich schemes that Hunter and Joe Biden had been engaging in throughout Biden's political career.These schemes by the Bidens did not begin and end with Burisma.

    We have not done nothing.

    Trump authorizes sanctions to punish foreign interference in US elections

    President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday authorizing a broad range of sanctions to punish individuals, companies or countries that interfere in U.S. elections.

    Democrats think the Bidens are clean and pure.

    It is normal for the friends and family of powerful Democrats to serve on the boards of foreign companies to help give and take bribes. The average Democrat who gives them all passes would do the same in their shoes.

    People with no standards behave accordingly.

    Rich famous people's offspring get good jobs his impeachment. I am stunned absolutely stunned LOL. I believe if I didn't hadn't been so busy with his other son dying you would have done something about Hunter. But there is no evidence anyting criminal illegal or against the rules happened. As opposed to basically everything Trump has been doing LOL.

    Lost in this charade is the real story about what Hunter was actually being paid for.

    If that question can be asked in this trial, then by all means call the Bidens to take the stand.

    If the Bidens are dirty, and of course they are, then Trump was absolutely justified in calling for their activities to be investigated.

    In relation to the impeachment trial, Yovanovitch testified in the House, and she was up to her neck involved in the corruption.

    There is U.S taxpayer $$$ involved, and the most corrupt oligarch in Ukraine, Ihor Kolomoyskyi was right in the middle of it - along with John Kerry, Christopher Heinz, Devon Archer, and the Bidens.

    It's all relevant to Trump's case - which is why I'm surprised the Dems pressed forward with the Ukraine angle.

    Unless they have assurances from McConnell that he'll protect them - which seems likely.

    We'll see... all of it is nothing more than theater.

    If everything were to come out it would include Obama. I don't have confidence that McConnell would push it that far.
