Well Well, Look Who Doesn't Want to Testify at a Senate Impeachment Trial
[Townhall] It turns out that 2020 Democrat presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden has no intention of testifying during a Senate impeachment trial against Donald Trump.

During a discussion with the Des Moines Register editorial board Friday, Biden said that even if he were subpoenaed for testimony, he wouldn't attend.

"The reason I wouldn't is because it's all designed to deal with Trump doing what he's done his whole life, trying to take the focus off him. The issue is not what I did, not a single person, not one, not a single person, even that thug Guiliani and his (inaudible) compatriots, have said I did anything other than my job," Biden said. "This is all about a diversion."

Biden also tried to explain why he advocated for the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating gas company Burisma. At the time Burisma paid Hunter Biden $83,000 per month to sit on the board, despite having no experience in the industry.

#3 Come on Joe, you can always take the 5th. Congress is famous as a location for people taking the 5th.

#4 Simply say "you can't recall" or give an answer about a totally unrelated question. No one will question you.

#5 … or, during testimony, just blurt out 'thank you, Iowa / New Hampshire' and wave your hands around like you're at a rally - 100% airtight 'senility defense'.

#6 What if Bernie gets the nomination? Expect a "September Surprise" Impeachment?

...is this a Donald Trump from another nearby dimension we're talking about?
