Looks like a trap to me, and all the senators that are running for President have to come off the election trail for the trial and if it gets stretched out into 2020, that pulls them away at a critical moment. Also imagine the Bidens squirming under lethal questioning right as the first primary votes happen. Yeah it's a trap, and the Democrats fell right into it, they are so stupid.
Trump has said he wants to call former Vice President Joe Biden, who is a leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, and his son Hunter Biden, who served on the board of Ukrainian energy company.
Trump, who is seeking re-election, has accused the Bidens of corruption, without providing evidence, and pushed Ukraine’s president to investigate them in a July 25 phone call that triggered the impeachment inquiry. Trump has defended the phone call as perfect and said he did nothing wrong.
Biden has said he would not voluntarily testify at a Senate trial but has not said how he would respond to a subpoena. The prospect of Biden leaving the campaign trail to defend himself against Trump’s allegations in the very chamber where he served for decades holds the potential for must-watch TV.
Historically, a president’s defense lawyers have been allowed to request witness testimony, but such demands must be approved by a majority of senators.
