Biden Says Nyet to Testifying Against Trump

Timothy Birdnow

Joe Biden, the touchie-feelie candidate for President who started the whole impeachment thing with his quid-pro-quo demands that the Ukraine fire a prosecutor investigating his son in return for military aid, is now refusing to testify against the President in an impeachment trial.

From The Blaze:

Peter Doocy of Fox News asked the former vice president of the possibility of being called to testify.

"If there's a Senate impeachment trial, they might want to call you as a witness is that something where you would appear voluntarily?" asked Doocy.

"No I'm not going to let them take their eye off the ball," responded Biden.

"The president is the one who has committed impeachable crimes and I'm not going to let him divert from that. I'm not gonna let anybody divert from that," he added.

Democrats have begun an impeachment inquiry based on the accusationthat the president withheld military aid from Ukraine in order to pressure them to investigate Joe Biden's influence in their country.

Allies of the president have defended him by saying that there was enough evidence to seek an investigation into decisions Biden made as vice president that could have benefited his son, then a consultant at a Ukrainian energy company.

Hair Club for Men Biden openly bragged on camera about how he got the Ukrainian prosecutor fired for investigating his cocain-addled son, who was given a job on the board of Barisma, a natural gas company based in Ukraine.

If Biden knew he was innocent he would have no problem going before the Senate. But he would be under oath and he can't afford THAT.

In any legal proceeding - and despite what those hack lawyers were saying at the impeachment hearings these ARE legal proceedings - you have the fundamental right to confront your accuser. Biden is one of the accusers.

Imagine if, during the Clinton impeachment, they had simply dragged in every bit of hearsay evidence against Clinton. They could have talked about Vince Foster and his strange death, or about any of the other dead people around Mr. Clinton. They could have mentioned the intern who was on the witness list who was shot while sitting in a coffee shop. And they could have talked about James Riady, Charlie Trie, and a host of other shady characters. They didn't. They stuck to Lewinsky and witnesses who could corroborate her story. In fact, they didn't even call Betty Curry, Clinton's staffer who knew where all the bodies were buried. They didn't call Carville. They didn't call anyone not directly related to the matter at hand, which was perjury before a federal court and obstruction of  justice. Clinton would later be convicted of those crimes in a court of law.

But this?  This is a circus, with endless accusations made by a parade of partisan hacks with no direct connection to anything and no evidence of any crime.

The Democrats would have raise the Devil had the situation been reversed. And the media would have done likewise.

So now the epicenter of it all is saying he won't cooperate.

This is more an auto da fe than a serious inquiry.
