Will Joe Biden Take the Fifth in a Senate Trial?
2019-11-22
[AMGREATNESS] Recently, I asked a liberal friend whether Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant...
 would assert his Fifth Amendment rights in an eventual trial before the Senate. "That’s never going to happen," my friend sniffed. He went on to mock the "conspiracy theory" that the Ukrainians interfered in the election and the "debunked" theory that Hunter Biden somehow broke a law by taking money from Burisma.

"Yes it will," I responded. "The whole theory for impeachment hinges on the assumption that the investigation of the Bidens was just a personal political hit job to help in 2020. If Trump can establish a legitimate law enforcement concern in looking into the Bidens and/or Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election, the whole thing falls apart."

#4  Trump knows that this would be the equivalent of the truth being an impenetrable defense against liable.

So if slow Joe and the coup plotters have to testify..............
