With demagogue and election cheat Donald "Impeached Forever" Trump's D-team lawyers wrapping up their hand shadow defense yesterday, all they seemed to have was "look at Joe and Hunter Biden....please!" Their summation calling for a quick acquittal of the demonstrably guilty Trump was undercut beyond the confines of the Senate chamber by leaks from former National Security Advisor John "Super 'Stache" Bolton's book manuscript that places the corrupt Trump at the center of the Ukraine shakedown conspiracy.
Senate Majority Leader and evil Trump toady Sen. Moscow Mitch McConnell assembled his team yesterday to count snouts and found that he lacked the 51 votes necessary to deny witnesses from testifying (Bolton prominently). That means that at least 4 Republican senators are -- for now -- going with 75% of the public that wants witnesses to testify. The White (Supremacist) House is arguing that they will go to court to block Bolton and others from testifying on the sham excuse of "executive privilege," which would face big roadblocks in court.
The latest gambit by Trumpist Republicans is to offer a one-for-one witness deal, in which they would call Hunter Biden immediately, even though he's not remotely a fact witness. But it would be the Joni Ernst move: create a circus in the Senate, smear the Bidens, and drive down Joe Biden's polls in Iowa and beyond, all the while diverting from Trump's clear extortion of Ukraine to cheat in the 2020 elections. In other words, finish what Trump attempted with Ukraine, letting corrupt Senators do the job.
BONUS: Trump's clearly rattled, and he's slurring his words more frequently, showing signs of further mental deterioration. Even Fux commentators can't resist chuckling at him:
