House Republicans have included the Ukraine whistleblower, Hunter Biden and his business partner in their list of witnesses to testify at next week’s public impeachment inquiry hearings.
Trump and Republicans have focused on Hunter Biden's role on the board of the Ukrainian gas company, Burisma Holdings, at the same time that his father, Joe Biden, was vice president. Witnesses called to testify who have already given depositions behind closed doors include Kurt Volker, the former special envoy for Ukraine negotiations, Tim Morrison, the Europe and Russia chief for the National Security Council, and David Hale, the undersecretary of State for political affairs.
House Republicans want everything but the truth!!!
These men are crazy!
Ha ha ha. Republican nonsense for their rabid base.
Why? Testimony has proven basis for impeachment.
'Nunes said President Donald Trump 'should be afforded an opportunity to confront his accusers.' ' Then he should look in the mirror. He admitted and repeated the call for intervention on live tv. propaganda gaslighting coconspirators thisistheGOP partybeforecountry
Maybe they can get Melania to trstify also. She would be similarly irrelevant to the uncovered facts.
Republicans just won’t let it go. Subconsciously, I think they knew Trump didn’t win the 2016 election fairly and got sucked into Trump’s promises of bullshit. Great economy, but the rest is a turd bucket.
NOPE! We want Jim_Jordan to testify about these sex abuse scandals there is much evidence there
Bring it on! Liars! Trump2020 HappyVeteransDay
Have Trump testify first along with all those Republicans who refused to show up for hearings
GOP is trying to turn this into another circus again. GOP cannot accept the facts & truth for their own personal benefits.
Just another distraction from the low class Repulsivecans.
After all this time they are still harassing Alexandra Chalupa. They are after any information. They are after revenge and intimidation.
What if the identity of the whistleblower is revealed and then gets killed. What happens next? What about his/her family? Then why create the W law. Thanks to these W that this country can still be considered a 'democracy' The should be rewarded$$$
America wants Don Trump jr to testify for buying US secrets from Russian spies and using it as dirt on Hillary.
Quid pro quo..extortion for personal gain by Trump
Benghazi part 2, the sequel. Wouldn't surprise me if they subpoena Hillary. Hope they do and further embarrass themselves.
Be careful what you wish for...
How about President Trump himself speaking for himself under oath, about this impeachment inquiry, using this type of logic.
Yep, Shit for Brains is playing Dictator!
They aren’t material in any way to the impeachment investigation nor will they be allowed to testify to the Judiciary Committee. No time for idiotic sideshows.
No catch to obvious pay to play crimes!
Never happen
What’s Hunter got to do with it ?
Republicans are unrecognizable when out of their Corruption fighting uniforms!
So GOP condones violation of whistleblower law, de facto, since law is intended to shield whistleblower's identity What vile persons the GOP have become.
Neither one of them has anything to do with the facts being investigated, it is about trumps actions only
What does Hunter have to with the perfect call where he wasnt ment....oh err
The issue isn’t whether or not their was dirt to find. It is abuse of power by the President.
Dream on.
Why don’t you report on the Epstein cover up
Help me understand how making Hunter Biden testify makes any difference. The focus of these impeachment hearings are on TRUMP’s actions in withholding APPROPRIATED funds from Ukraine in order to force them to get dirt on his political opponent. A bribe/extortion = illegal.
The Democrats should call trump to testify, that would be funny trump would be shitting his pants
As Republicans attack Hunter Biden do they ever take a damn breath and consider the Trump kids in our WH? Donald Jr would be a joke if he wasn’t chin deep in Trumps lies & Russia. Ivanka & Jarred are a breath away from Indictments running around the world on our dime. Corrupt
Wow! First the President and now Congress acting as law enforcement, investigating private citizens. Maybe the FBI is obsolete after all?
Why didn’t gop investigate 5 years ago? They were too busy tearing down Hillary. This is bs. Sad that gop has zero loyalty to USA and constitution trump is destroying democracy and shredding constitution
Nunes must never hold office again. Cmon the great State of California you so can do so much better than him.
Just remember folks, if republicans controlled the house this would of all been swept under the rug and they’d still be calling hunter Biden.
Schiff won't allow that but he might allow more reasonable requests.
If Hunter testifies, then Ivan-ka n Jared need to be questioned. Maybe they have Ukraine money.
Hunter Biden and the Whistleblower are not on trial. The one on trial is Donald Trump and he is the one that needs to show up to his trial and testify with whatever defense he can produce. Too bad that his only defense is a redacted transcript of a call and all the conspirators.!
Biden has nothing to do with the Ukraine bribery/extortion. Stop the bs GOPERS.
It's an impeachment inquiry. Where are their witnesses if they're defending Trump? I mean WHO are their witnesses? You know, those people who will offer contradictory testimony to testimonies already on record that make their guy as guilty as sin. . . or more.
If Democrats object...this who thing is a witch-hunt...we already knew it is. 🤔
2 can play that game. Subpoena Don Jr and use inherent contempt to compell him to testify what he knows about the scheme.
Nope
So how is Hunter Biden involved in blackmailing Ukraine? Just curious
So not having the guy testify who started all this? Sounds to me Schiff is hiding things. Is that the new rules the left want to set?
Fuckkallthem. Just don’t go.
The QuidProQuoJoe whistleblower
Circus Circus.
I think it's great! Jordan has lots of problems, might have to resign?
Yeah. It's not a court of law. It's a political process. Nobody goes to jail as a result. The get FIRED. So there is no right to face your accusers.
While they hide in the dark in contempt of subpoenas.
They are also demanding the testimony of Kid Rock, Scott Baio, and Larry the Cable Guy.
Call their bluff RepAdamSchiff. Schedule everyone on the GOP list AFTER Trump testifies ...in person.
Keep dreaming!
A catch? You mean that they're not witnesses to any material fact at issue?
Shifty Shiff got the final say on witness, thats the catch
Is that what they want? Well I want the Orange Traitor gone from the WH and him, his family and Repub thugs all in jail.
The catch is that House Dems, not Republicans, have final say on who is called to testify.
about time.
Yet Mulvaney, Bolton with Subpoena are allowed to disobey They should be arrested.
If Trump & family are normalized than nothing matters and all are corrupt - something to get use to going forward. GOP
They don't have anyone of their own to defend trump!
This isn’t the GOP’s circus. They had Benghazi.
If, and by that I mean when, it turns out that they altered these 'perfect transcripts' will his mindless groupies take heed? Nevermind that is of course a rhetorical question
Ivanka...Ivanka who I don't really know her they say she works for me...they say I'm her father...I don't know you'll have to ask her.
How does that saying go......ohhh yeah. Elections have consequences.
Won’t get subpoenas.
They should also...while they are at it with their conspiracy theories ,bring in Hillary and Bill to testify about the 50, 000 emails, Bengazhi and Monica Lewinsky to clarify wether she had sex with Bill or not.. yeah why not keep throwing s...t at the wall to see what sticks.
mterr337 LOL they dont want to hear about Trump's crimes. They want to grill Biden based on a conspiracy theory. Fools.
Democrats will put an end to this circus event. They have final say on any witnesses Republicans may want to call to testify. Regardless of whether HunterBiden was guilty of any wrongdoing, it's irrelevant to the impeachable offenses committed by trump.
Cant we dedicate “advisors for idiots” to these guys to explain scope and focus of things 🤷🏻♂️
DevinNunes What does HunterBiden have to do with the UkraineCall
Hunter Biden wasn’t on the call trump made to the Ukranian president. Very transparent attempt to pull in people he thinks are enemies into his problems.
Man they are stupid. I mean really really stupid
They betray themselves every day.
Don jr should be a witness for buying US secrets from Russian spies.
The most stupid witness they want is Nellie Orr. HouseGOP clowns!
I hope Biden doesn’t show up.
GOP sit down stop kiss Donald ASSSS.
Good luck with that.
And include Trump
Let's clear this matter up with testimony from lawyers and others in and out of the realDonaldTrump administration. Including DonaldJTrumpJr how did he find out the whistleblower I.D?
Neither of which are material in Trump's illegal activities. Smart, GOP, try to obfuscate Trump's criminality with the actions of others. Dementia Donny stands alone as the criminal with corroborating testmony and evidence from associates.
They had nothing to do with Trumps Quid Pro Quo. Have they forgotten what this is all about? As Mr Kennedy asked, are they that Stupid ?
The Biden’s have nothing to do with Trump’s Ukrainian behavior. Republicans are using the hearings to attack Trump’s political opponents.
Apparently the GOP can't read or comprehend the guidelines for witnesses. Seems about right.
Do ya think Biden has enough sense not to show up
Hunter Biden ?!!!! Ok America 🤷🏽♀️
Bring it on.
Lol. Democrats have know idea the impeachment hearings will expose the real Real Crimes by the Obama Administration.
Hunter Biden as Republicans’ witness? This could only go two ways: bad for Trump and bad for the Republicans. ImpeachTrump TrumpExtorted TrumpBribed LockHimUp
Hunter Biden? What? Are they demanding Hillary appear as well? Anthony Weiner? Huma Abedin?
That has nothing to do with what trump did Republicans are morons
Why? Ridiculous. GOP
These Republicans are *playing like juveniles *
Dear Whistleblower, just blow it off. The republicans clearly showed it’s ok to not show up when requested.
RepMarkMeadows Jim_Jordan DevinNunes Hunter Biden has nothing to say about Trump’s extortion. This not about Biden, this is about Trump. If you want to call witnesses, bring in the people WH who witnessed POTUS Behavior and swear that he did not abuse his power or office.
Subpoenas are optional they should no show of course.
No reason for either one to testify..Biden has no information about Trump’s actions and Whistleblower’s complaint has been investigated and corroborated by a multiple first hand witnesses. GOP seeking circus distraction, not truth.
What would Hunter Biden bring to the hearings? The knowledge that he wasn't under investigation?
Next they'll call DevinCow up there and maybe his cat.
Denied.
And that is exactly why the Dems have veto power over the witnesses.
Hillary Clinto said she's available to talk about her emails again. Maybe they should call her since Ukraine has her imaginary server.
What does Hunter Biden have to do with this? He can't testify to any facts in the case.
Hunter Biden for the entire deposition
Not known for productivity, the GOP continues to spit into the wind.
The whistleblower is not going to testify because they want to put their life in danger. They are pathetic, weak boot lockers who put Russia first and America second. They all need to move to Moscow and kiss Putin’s ring. They are giving him all he needs to attack again.
Pathetic. The whistleblower’s testimony has already been corroborated by multiple witnesses. What a transparent effort to move the framing of the debate away from substance— like the GOP does with everything.
Take all the evidence gathered and wrap it up in the reality that Trump did violate his oath of office and nail his butt to the cross.
GOP senatemajldr ChuckGrassley LindseyGrahamSC DevinNunes senategop housegop 'DEEP THROAT' NEVER TESTIFIED, NOR WAS HIS IDENTITY REVEALED!
That should never happen there not the persons who caused the issue. Trump is the person who bribed a foreign diplomat to get dirt in the Bidens In order to release money that they needed for defense.
The GOP doesn't like not being in control of the message
Pardon me but effing stupid.
Of course the the gop wants to add whistleblower and Hunter Biden to the show because they have zero facts and no laws to support them, so here comes the table pounding circus of distractions!!!
Republicans are lost. They have no basis to defend Donald Trump.
dwinfrey72 Why would they appear? Repug’s have declined subpoena’s.
So let’s come to an agreement. If they show up will Bolton and Mulvaney? I would go for that.
If trump agree to testify then Biden will.
Scumbags picking out names that the Fox News and right wing radio nuts will recognize as to build up their conspiracy BS. These people are insane and this is a legitimate fight for the institutions and way of life here in America. Trump and Republicans are agents of Putin
Trying to make it about Biden and not Trump. DIVERSIONARY TACTICS
The tiny minds have over heated yet again, this brain storm is just another game their playing.
That’s all they got because the thinking public already knows the truth only ones who need to be convinced are the Russian loving republicans. Maybe they should call the tweeter in chief also
How about foreign policy experts like Tuckface, 'Hammity', and Glenn Beck?
A joke and an embarrassment but so be it; moving on
And lets bring in Trump kids about all $ they are making while taxpayers foot the travel, hotel bills...
What Hunter did or didn’t do has nothing to do with what tRump did or didn’t do.
Yes...but the DEMs get to approve any subpoena...so say it with me, 'No!' Like others have said, Hunter will testify if Trump...heck even Pence...testifies in public.
What does Hunter Biden have to do with Trump being President?
Epic backfire loading.............
That would be a no
GOP Stooges: don’t forget to add Frederick Douglass and, of course, Jim the former Francophile
Always a one way deal with GOP . They want these individuals to testify but they won’t allow certain individuals who could bring credibility to the impeachment against TrumpExtorted ? RudyGiuliani and Barr was mentioned in the memo/Transcript but they won’t let them testify.
They can ignore the request. Whats good for the fuckin goose...
Get those coup plotting traitor DemocRATs!
Hunter can testify when Mulvaney, Bolton and Pompeo testify without ever answering a question, 'I don't recall'.
There is more evidence that Gym Jordan ignored sexual molestation at Ohio State than Hunter Biden did anything wrong.
HouseGOP - WHEN WILL YOU STOP WITH THE RICICULOUS SHENANIGANS AND TAKE THIS IMPEACHMENT SERIOUSLY All caps because I'm screaming at you.
Maybe they figure it’s a way to get confirmation that Benghazi was all a ruse set up by Colonel Sanders and the Pope to draw attention away from their plan to colonize Greenland with Australian Aboriginal people which would re-polarize the earth making north become south
Lol! Not going to happen! They don’t have to show up!
That should be no shows!
Glad they will be on the list!
The Bidens' actions are a separate matter and have nothing at all to do with whether the president committed an impeachable offense. Just more dishonesty and obstruction from the GOP.
Hunter Biden’s not being impeached, realDonaldTrump is the one who broke the law!
They want the WB to get killed. Traitors
why the WB? As maddow said last night, it's like the WB pulling the fire alarm and waking everyone up b/c the house is on fire, and the first responders (Congress) come and put out the fire. Who cares who pulled the alarm?
How can Republican violate law and still seat on committee that governs laws violated⁉️Where is the justice. Jane Fonda gets arrested every Friday for her infraction, and NO ONE REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVE was jailed when they busted in. Jane just stands OUTSIDE building. Explain⁉️
Devin Nunez needs directions to pour water out of a bucket!
Where is the so called whistleblower?
Seriously? 😒 ClownShow
Could someone with intelligence Please direct Republican Party? They seem to be locked into some playground diversion bully mode and not taking “Bribery” Impeachment seriously. dumpgop
They really don’t get how this whole whistleblower thing is supposed to work.
I hope none show up!
And of course Trump too!!
Confront your accuser? Is trump on the committee? Will he be there? Is it a trial?
Sure if Trump testifies
AND WE want Donnie Jr, Ivanka, Eric and Melania to testify under oath at the public hearings!!
Remember when Trump Jr had to testify during the Muller investigation because of a phone call? I do.
The b.s. just keeps on rolling down, while the nation languishes.
Just decline to show. Ok to show contempt of Congress
🤣🤣😂. Now let schifty schiff veto these and your hearings will be done.
It appears the Republicans are not looking for the truth, but a circus.
BS
I want Devin Nunes’ COW to testify about his farm.
Can’t call whistleblower
Let's get Gaetz, Jordan, McCarthy, Meadows, Kennedy, Rudy, Jr, Kushner, the daughter, to see how many other times Trump has bribed/extorted another country OR how many times a foreign country has extorted Trump because he has so much to hide? China, Russia, the Saudis, Kim.....
Good. Time for QuidProQuoJoe truth to be exposed.
Adam Schiff, right about now. GOP is desperate and will embarrass themselves on the national stage next week
Ridiculous
Now its finally going to get interesting 🧐
Trump son
GOP is gonna make this a spectacle
Damn
IDIOTS!
What!! No Hillary? No Susan Rice?. No Obama?. No Jane Fonda? No Taylor Swift? No Vince Foster? No Michael Moore? No Franco or Stalin? They must be on orders from the Mother Ship to keep the conspiracy defense distraction simple.
I can’t wait to hear all the MAGAs cry when Hunter Biden defies the subpoena. I hope he testifies though to shut them all up.
Ah, who's the black dude?
I would add the Tooth-fairy and Santa to the list since it’s almost the season!
Not just, 'No,' Republicans.....'HELL NO!!!'❤🇺🇸
I hope Biden doesn't show up. Would like to see if they find him in contempt. They didn't any of the white house people.
Biden should agree to testify ONLY after Trump does.
But not Trump Interesting.
Bring it so you can pile on even more embarrassment upon yourselves.
They are idiots. Hunter Biden has nothing to do with the president trying to extort a foreign president.
trumps swamp of corruption has stained the office of Presidency. The bi-partisan impeachment inquiry is unfortunate, but a necessary step on the road to restoring dignity to the role. A conman was elected and this is what happens.
Yeah. They care nothing for relevance. Just want to harass people. HouseIntel AdamSchiff HouseGOP GOPLeader HouseJudiciary RepJerryNadler SpeakerPelosi
Trump attempted to extort a vulnerable foreign ally into helping him win the 2020 election by cheating. Anything - any witness - unconnected to this is a distraction and part of the cover up.
I look forward to hearing from Hunter Biden. I think he can shed light on Putin's involvement in Ukraine. He will be a sympathetic witness and Republicans will not get what they want. If the whistleblower testifies, so should trump.
GOP are all over the place now with no logical defence in this ongoing Trump impeachment inquiry. They have changed basis of their defence so many times because they don't have any. It is a legal House impeachment process as in US Constitution and just as a Judge ruled earlier.
Trump throws a squirrel out and every republican starts chasing it. Refusing to look at the real questions by getting distracted by trumps obvious tricks. Republicans are so easily fooled by trumps deception.
The Republicans also want Hilary Clinton, James Clapper, Barack Obama, Jay Z , the middle finger lady, the laughing guy and Peter Griffin to testify
Adam literally has CNN on speed dial- seriously he does, he loves the media insider portion to his job, he should of stayed in high school thespian class - I don't get the attraction
Question What to the impeachment Trump as to do with Hunter Biden All the information on him is MADE UP, NOT TRUE so why would he need to be witnesses to any that we all Know Trump MADE UP
Deflection is their defense? It's not about Trump's extortion plan, it's about his targets. 2016, Biden and that darn whistleblower that screwed everything up. The only sham is the GOP
Now that doesn’t come across as desperate at all 🙄
I don't get why they don't call in Mulvaney, Bolton, and Giuliani so they can all testify that there was no extortion?
Pathetic.
Republicans should request Putin due to his wealth of knowledge on how to circumvent our elections
They have nothing else tohang onto
Once again the Dem's lies will come out, they think the people are stupid and won't do their own investigations- that's a slap to the face that people can tell you lies and it's not going to be challenged-News set that precedent
They are making a mockery of a very serious matter.
Why not go ahead and call Richard Spencer and Alex Jones? I mean, that’s where we’re headed with this anyway.
Adam Schiff:
Good luck with that
Let's make a deal. Trump testifies under oath first, than the whistleblower. Unless he's too much of a coward...
Seems logical
Yeah, and the Dems initiated a weak impeachment, they would of gone with something else, but after 3 years of a microscope over him, there was nothing out there so ask the American people if they even care about the phone call, all would say this does not effect my daily life
They have nothing but a desire to protect Donald Trump. What a shame the Republicans choose to put their own careers before our country.
Hunter should only show up if Mulvaney does. That should be the deal.
Wonder what would happen if some of them just refused to appear?
I can’t with GOP they want to excuse this traitorous behavior by interviewing Biden’s son and the whistleblower. Get them all the fuck out in the next elections. Please
Well that is NOT going to happen they can keep DREAMING
Shocked they didn't asked for the Twitter cow DevinCow to be hauled in.
In other words, Republicans are trying to draw attention away from Trump's quid-pro-quo - the only card they have left to play.
