    Hunter's job spurred Trump's actions. To understand what Trump did, we have to understand what Hunter did.

    It’s more likely Adderall spurred Trump’s actions.

    Poor Ted, the dumbest smartest guy in the room.

    How sure? https://twitter.com/i/events/1220094169537925122
    Chuck Schumer shoots down the idea of a 'witness trade' involving Hunter Biden
    On Tuesday, The Washington Post published a report suggesting that several Democratic Senators were considering a "witness swap" involving Hunter Biden and John Bolton. Asked about the report on Wednesday, Senator Chuck Schumer said it "was off the table."


    Chief of Staff would be a starter
    Fred Fleitz: Former chief of staff to John Bolton says it was obvious the whistleblower was coached in writing his complaint.

    So, nepotism means enlisting family members to donate their time to work for the American people?

    We have QuidProJoe holding $1B in aid hostage to protect the $50,000 / month Hunter was being paid on the board of Burisma ,,,, whose agent in the US was paying Democratic Senators thousands.

    Maybe because Congress was completely unaware of that Biden & Son, Inc. had come up in a classified phone call until Schiff found a gossip with 4th-hand information to make the Biden family corruption resurface as a total focal point for the nation.

    Schiff miscalculated, thinking that Trump would never declassify and release the transcript and the nation would rely on pseudo-information from some anonymous ex-CIA lackey.

    Completely unaware?? biden making the statement was a meme for crying out loud..

    and since you claim Biden is a crook for withholding aid to Ukraine..why not investigate and charge him??

    trump did the same thing 3 years later ...and one more time

    trump did not want an investigation he ONLY wanted an announcement on CNN

    For the same reason Hillary got away with violating the espionage act and destroying evidence that was under subpoena. Simple: 6 of the 10 wealthiest counties in the country are around the beltway: politicians, consultants, lobbyists ,,, and all Democrat. They are sucking off the taxpayer and no Republican President is going to rain on their parade. I used to live in VA and commuted to Bethesda for meetings with the NRC back from 1975-1985 ,,, when VA was Red. Big government politicians destroyed the place. No one is going to give up their meal ticket willingly.

    I was thinking the same exact thing!!!

    Maybe Trumpers need to understand that for those of us not regularly attending the sermons of Faux News, we have no means of understanding their secret abbreviations and code words. We didn't get the decoder ring.

    We need Adam and the whistleblower to explain how this last coup attempt was cooked up by them.

    Well, when Burisma is in the pockets of connected people starting with John Kerry's former chief of staff, David Leiter ,,, while Hunter Biden is on the Board

    And money flows through Leiter at ML strategies

    and when money finds its way to Democrats in Congress

    We either call that a conspiracy theory. or some people have something to hide

    After two days of testimony of facts and videos illustrating the entire nasty corruption surrounding the Trump administration and Trump himself I look forward to watching the Republicans commit political suicide in exoneration Trump. The facts are out in the public now and thinking Americans (that 70%) know the facts and know the GOP alliance with a corrupt president.

    Does anyone seriously believe the Trump cabal will not be washed overboard in November? I'm not even sure the GOP will survive as a political party after this. Given the new demographics and rise of Independents, Republicans better stop thinking short term about backing a corrupt moron and think about the long term survival of the GOP.

    This is historic. The death of a political party in America.

    Cruz is nothing more than a lap boy for tRUMP. How can anyone take what he says seriously.
    He cannot demand anything and if they did get Hunter Biden as a witness, open the flood gates for other witnesses the Democrats want. This will never happen.

    You can have the witnesses approved by Mitch, just like in the House Rules.

    And then added: " ...Republicans have the right to bring in any witness they want. "

    Schumer can't negotiate whether Hunter Biden is called or not. Hunter is a private citizen. Republicans call whoever the hell they want, and Democrats should be allowed to call who they want. This "witness exchange" is nonsense. If Republicans want to call him... call him. He's irrelevant to the case, but that's up to Republicans.

    Yeah... and guess what! Cruz is one of those who decide if witnesses are allowed. That's why it's good news. Of course Cruz could just be talking out of his arse and end up voting against what he says is "critical". Heck!... they could even agree to call an irrelevant witness like Biden, and not the ones who are actually relevant to the case. But there is a bit of a hope that Senators will not just rubber-stamp Trump's authorization to keep cheating in the elections. Who knows....

    The Senate decides which witnesses to call if any. I don't think there is a Senate rule says there has to be an even side allocation of witnesses.

    I doubt seriously that you can point out dishonesty in Cruz, but I'll accept the hyperbole.

    Frankly I don't see how Hunter Biden can help the president's defense. As far as I know Hunter knows nothing about anything pertinent. Lunch Bucket Joe maybe, but not Hunter.

    Thereby my allusion to honesty.

    Really? About good ol' Lyin' Ted?

    Off topic, though.

    In what way would Joe Biden testifying help Trump? What would they ask him that would be relevant to getting Trump off the hook?

    Honesty and equality are not the same thing.
    There is reasonable suspicion with his own boastful video that he was in the know of and amidst Ukraine corruption and participated in an illegal quid pro quo with government money -- sufficient reasonable suspicion to warrant an investigation. And Ukraine corruption is at the heart of the Articles of Impeachment.

    That's why I said "honesty". Cruz is equally dishonest with everybody. His political foes, his political allies... even with his own family

    There is no reasonable suspicion whatsoever. But, leaving that aside, even if there were, how would that help Trump in any way?

    The only corruption in Ukraine that's at the heart of the Articles of Impeachment is Trump's.
