Senate Republicans Consider Calling Joe Biden During Impeachment

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: people shouldn’t focus on Hunter Biden, but Joe Biden. If Hunter did something illegal, that’s on Ukraine to deal with. But, Joe, on the other hand, did exactly what Trump is being accused of, a quid pro quo using the power and money of the United States government for the benefit of his family

(Washington Post) Senate Republicans are privately debating whether they should use an impeachment trial of President Trump to scrutinize former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter as some Trump allies push to call them as witnesses while others dismiss the suggestion as a risky political ploy.

The ongoing discussions are a revealing glimpse into the fault lines in the GOP ahead of a possible trial of Trump in the upper chamber, where there are varying appetites among Senate Republicans for the type of political combat relished by the president and his most hardcore defenders. (snip)

“The Bidens have to be called,” former White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon said Sunday on Fox News. “Joe Biden is a hand grenade and Hunter Biden is the pin. And when that pin gets pulled, the shrapnel is going to blow back all over the Democratic establishment,”

Joe should be the target, and, let’s not forget that he is on video as saying that Barack Obama approved. If Trump is guilty of quid pro quo, which, at last check, wasn’t really a violation of the law, then what of Biden and Obama? If people are saying that what Trump did was unethical (when he was trying to get to the heart of corruption, especially regarding the 2016 election), then what of Joe and Barack?

It’s worth watching Glenn Beck’s explanation of what happened. It’s interesting that the Washington Post wrote their whole, long article without even delving into “why” Joe and Hunter would be called.
