If the Senate decides to consider new impeachment trial witnesses and documents next week, Sen. Josh Hawley plans to try and force votes on everyone from Adam Schiff to Joe Biden

.

If the witness vote succeeds, Hawley aims to force votes on subpoenas for House Intelligence Chairman Schiff , Vice President Biden, Hunter Biden, Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, the still-unnamed whistleblower who reported Trump's July call with the Ukrainian president and a reported acquaintance of the whistleblower's.

Democrats already forced votes to subpoena acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, former national security adviser John Bolton, and documents related to the administration's decision-making on aid to Ukraine earlier this week, all of which failed on party lines. Democrats say that the Bidens aren't relevant to the investigation.

Sen. Lindsey Graham said this week he'd rather request an outside counsel investigation in the Bidens than see Congress subpoena them.

SMH.... These witnesses will still say Trump broke the law no matter what. You reap what you sow, Hawley.

No one in Missouri even likes that 🤡

While CALLING for investigations into Biden ‘a son, don’t stop there, CORRUPTION RUNS RAMPANT IN THE Trump FAMILY!!

While CALLING for investigations into Biden ‘a son, don’t stop there, CORRUPTION RUNS RAMPANT IN THE Trump FAMILY!!

Who gives a f-? Call witnesses, subpoena documents. If Biden is guilty, put him in prison. If Trump is guilty, remove him from office and put him in prison.

HawleyMO go right ahead and invite anyone you want. trump set the example. They can all ignore it now. It’s all Executive Privilege.

And?

Hey Burgess, you id Biden in the article at “Vice President Biden,” no “former”.

But Hawley, will YOU vote to allow testimony from material witnesses? Put up or shut up!!

Joe and Hunter Biden’s Ukraine dealings must be fully exposed and legal action taken if warranted

If this goes ahead, you won’t be calling any witnesses or presenting any documents, right? After all, the Democrats were blocked from doing that in something as weighty as the Impeachment hearings.

Then he better ad Trumps name.

This flunky aspires to be the next Devious Donald.

Sure. The more witnesses the more truth comes out.

What a weasel.

And Hawley plans to throw water balloons from the balcony and put tacks on all the Democrats seats. Amazingly Drumpf has infected all the Republicans with infantile narcissism.

Schiff and Biden aren’t on trial, realDonaldTrump was the one accused of withholding military aid to Ukraine.

Vindman must be called and required to answer the questions that Schiff blocked. Faux WB must be called. His cronies in Schiff’s office. Schiff. ICIG ( Schiff has locked down is Star Chamber testimony- Why?). They want transparency. Give it to them.

Lol

Which willgive us more lies..which we can only hope will be prosecuted.

That's ridiculous

Good. Let's do it chicken shit GOP.

Great. Schiff will destroy them again.

Absolutely. We must hear from all of them!!

Why do they keep threatening people who are irrelevant to the case? Soooo scared! What are they hiding? It will all be exposed sooner or later so be ready for jail hypocrites!

Do it. Biden has a lot to say. Then we want Trump up there. He won’t remember which lie he’s told. So his lies will be lies.

Only Schiff needs to testify for gop under oath. Make him provide the evidence no one else has been able to collect to back up 3 years of we got him now. Make him prove his claims under oath. Schiff needs to defend the last 3 years of claims he's made in public but under oath.

How could Biden or Schiff defend Trump? They were not in the room when the call was made and were not involved with withholding aid from Ukraine.

He's such a Republican!

And? This will not prove trump is innocent.

Deflection is all the Republicans have to bring to the trial.

Good way to demonstrate the Republican cover up is to bring in irrelevant witnesses. Don’t forget Hillary and Bill while you’re at it.

Proves this Moran is like the rest of the republicans have no defense for trump because don’t want to give these witnesses that can either remove trump or can prove him innocent but no republicans will give the democratic system away to a president who sees himself as a dictator

Don't forget Eric Ciaramella Devon Archer And Alexandra Chalupa

Looks like the Sen doesn’t want his head on a pike.

Well since subpoenas are now voluntary, I don’t see the problem.

Go for it

This is is why the House should have waited out subpoena rulings instead of rushing this to the Senate.

Then I suggest we add Trump, his kids, his wives, all his attorneys, people he's screwed both figuratively & physically, the entire GOP, his contributors, all illegals he's employed, all government documents which include tax returns, business & personal, local, state & federal.

Do it. Subpoena EVERYBODY.

I wish she does do you want to hear everything

Obviously, the austere deliberative body anticipated by the founders.

Hawley represents Missouri and he is a total head case!

My God, these Senatorial clowns are soulless bastards. Not one of them wanted Trump in office but they are so afraid of losing their own footing that they are willing to sell out the country to stay on his good side. History doesn't reward cowardice and neither do voters.

That would blow up in their faces Bigly.

America needs to stand up against Republican idiocy.

Oh goodie. Bring it on. SenHawleyPress HawleyMO All100Senators JoeBiden RepAdamSchiff HouseDemocrats SenateGOP

T he only person who needs to testify is Trump

Hawley a career criminal, he was under investigation while AG of Missouri. He also ran a huge smear campaign against Senator Clair McCaskell POS

Republicans and GOP are becoming immune to the destruction of the Constitution of the United States by their defence. They do not care for justice nor the sanctity of the founding laws. 'Heads on pikes' seems true.

deflection.

Oooh, what a big, brave man... not!

Bout time!!

Go for it

Still cannot understand why the voters in Missouri chose him over clairecmc. How could that possibly ever happen?

If you’re a true republican and not an evangelical trump supporter. Then you need to see this!! GOPKompromat

🙄🤪

Fine, let’s have them all.

Oh yippee pls subpoena Adam Schiff. Trust that will be a blockbuster, clever dude will put your collective stupidity on display once again. But whilst at it, call real witnesses to the crime like Mulvaney, Bolton or even Parnas, witnesses with receipts

Trump failed to get Zelenenskiiy to help him dish dirt on the Bidens so he’s relying on his lawyers and republicans to do it. And Schiff would make mincemeat out of trmp’s fancy assed attorneys.

Hawley is a joke & a disgrace. Another Republican who cheated to get his seat.

Not likely CJ Roberts would allow it. He will not preside over a sham trial.

He wants to waste time on more distraction.

Idiot

This says everything you need to know about how shameless Republicans are in their attempts to protect their criminal in cheif.

How does that exonerate T? These guys didn’t tell T to shake down Ukraine ‘s President for internal matters like the next election? What illogical argument?

Being it bitch!!

Can u?

Why? They are not on trial.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

HawleyMO all these antics to help with the cover up instead of having the courage to stand for the Constitution. Remember what happens in the dark comes to light. TruthMattersRightMatters TruthMatters FactsMatter FactsDontLiePeopleDo veteransagainstvotingstupid

Lol, go back to the hills boy!

Hawley is Trump’s lapdog. Pathetic. DefeatHawleyin2024 impeachment

Let's get Nunes up there. At least there is already evidence of his collaboration

Be our guest . Dems will nail you to the cross with theirs .

'Hawley aims to force votes on subpoenas for House Intelligence Chairman Schiff (D-Calif.), Vice President Biden, Hunter Biden, Intelligence Inspector General Michael Atkinson Trump is on trial NOT Biden Distraction

As he should. It’s his job to do so.

What a jerk he is. Hopefully, Roberts will rule on materiality of witnesses.

So calling irrelevant witnesses is not going to get Trump off.

Yo, GOP may want to re-think this

Not gonna happen, there will be 53 votes against any further witnesses and documents… Game over, this coming week,

Sure, go ahead. It’s going to End like the Benghazi & the server investigation. With ZERO charges.

Republican sickness keeps showing up.

Your wife have any info to contribute Senator.

GOPCoverup

A move of despair

Joe Biden should be a Witness and so should be his over qualified son Hunter Biden. senatemajldr GOP

It'll be epic seeing trump impeached twice!

Calling witnesses that have nothing to do with why Trump was impeached?

Go for it if the goal is to gather cheap political points rather than add to the peoples knowledge

Go for it, .SenHawleyPress . You'll only make the .SenateGOP look even more foolish than they already have this week.

Whose subpoena needs to be respected? Are there different types of subpoenas for Dem and for republicans?

And they are why trump abused his power and obstructed congress? Tell me how. Where’s your evidence?

Calling them doesn't negate or validate Trump's actions.

Don't forget to include Donnie LOL.

How far we've fallen. 😞

Oh really scared right now.. stop carrying the water for these liars please.

Lmao.

it's his first and last term

Hawley needs to give it up. He will just look even more stupid. Judge the case based on Trump's behavior and stop trying to change the narrative. There will not be a country if these GOP Senators don't cut the crap.

Lets get President Carter too...and don't forget Elvis.

He will be cold calling selling burial plots in 5 years

Why don't they want to hear from someone who was actually on the phone call? Namely Donald Jenius Trump. That's who they need to call.

I am so sick of these P’sOS

What is he trying to hide?

Is there no depth to these people's ignominy?

This guy’s a fraud

The corrupt Democrats wans only their witness.

Intimidation is illegal

Good ,it’s the deep state time.

Go ahead. Bring it on.

Yes, reasonable. GOP: if you guys want to call witnesses involved in the situations, who have first-hand info that would either incriminate or exonerate the president, fine. But then we'll call a ton of witnesses that have zero info to add to any of these arguments. Ha! Smh.

Go ahead...Are you threatning

And get orange dude too!!!

Democrats should then subpoena Ivanka, Jared, Eric, DJTJ, Giuliani, Pompeo, Mulvaney, Barr, and above all Trump himself.

Great Josh... complete the 2020 foreign election interference Trump was unable to complete! MoDemParty HawleyTraitor

Sen. Schumer: We have a reasonable chance at witnesses, documentsSen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, weighs in on the Senate impeachment trial, says Dems have a shot at calling witnesses and getting documents and that a Hunter Biden for John Bolton swap was never something Dems seriously considered. Hahahahaha not a shot in hell. Come on Chuck. Those narrow Republican shoulders won't come close holding up the Constitution. While I appreciate optimism, folks like Schumer and Biden continuing to believe that republicans will eventually see the light and do the right thing are part of the reason we are in this place at this time. They have let them get away with too much for too long.

Warren's plan calls for eliminating student loan debt of up to $50,000 for households making under $100,000 annually, which would apply to around 95% of borrowers and wipe out debt entirely for 75% of borrowers.
