Democrats Reportedly Discuss Swapping Testimony of Hunter Biden for John Bolton

Photo: Win McNamee/Getty Images Throughout the House impeachment inquiry, Democrats refused to consider the possibility of calling Hunter Biden or his father, the former vice-president, to testify.

That calculus may change over in the Senate, where, on day one of President Trump’s impeachment trial, the majority party has denied all Democratic attempts to get witnesses on the schedule.

According to the Post, Democrats pushing the testimony-swap believe it would not only guarantee Bolton’s account, but that it may also “backfire on Trump and the GOP, giving Biden and the party a platform to strike back and paint Republicans and the White House as obsessed with trying to damage one of Trump’s 2020 presidential rivals.

Though senators on both sides have expressed support for the plan — Sherrod Brown said he’d be “fine” with Hunter Biden testimony, while Ted Cruz first proposed the idea publicly — getting the primary frontrunner onboard would be a whole different matter. A source close to the campaign told the Post that the former veep did not want to engage with “a stupid Republican talking point.

thanks for reporting Matt - nothing is ‘fair’ anymore - what the f*^% ever. Biden’s? Yes, pls come forward - the GOPSenate are ... and let me quote “RIDICULOUS”

They better do it !

I don’t like this one bit. Offering up a sacrificial lamb to America’s traitors.
