Of course he won't comply. He knows he is guilty of influence peddling.

Not anyone with any intellectual capacity.1. Then why didn't the Democrats go to court? If there was no legal standing, they'd have gotten a ruling inside a week.It would be cool if the nutbags demanding that Congress go to court to get Mulvaney and others to obey their subpoenaes would accept two facts.
1) These refusals to testify have no legal standing. They will almost certainly end up with the courts ordering that they obey the subpoenaes. In other words, the refusal is a clear attempt to obstruct justice.
2) The courts are under no obligation to hear these cases in a timely manner. They could take a very long time. That's the point.
2. Correct. The courts are a separate AND EQUAL branch of government. They do not have to jump through any hoop congress sets for them.
Well. Nobody can ever accuse you of talking out of both sides of your vomit hole. Can they?

Is he now?

Yep. We've all pretty much thrown law out the window and expect the other side to follow what they flaunt.Why should he? If it is cool for Trump's people to say "no thanks" then it is cool for him to do so also.
Unlike Trombies, I will demand that Biden testify if he is subpoenaed and Roberts approves the line of questioning as relevant to the proceedings.
you know, when Im in Vermont,,99% of the time, I know I am in VermontJoe is showing us he's dumb but he's not stupid. They would fry him like a 3 dollar steak and he knows it.
Returning to the campaign trail after Christmas, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. on Friday stood by his comments that he would not comply with a subpoena to testify at President Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate.
In a meeting with the editorial board of The Des Moines Register, whose endorsement in the Iowa caucuses is coveted by presidential hopefuls, Mr. Biden argued that complying with a subpoena and testifying would essentially allow Mr. Trump to succeed in shifting attention onto Mr. Biden and away from the president’s own actions.
“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,” Mr. Biden said. “The issue is not what I did.”
“This is all about a diversion,” Mr. Biden added. “And we play his game all the time. He’s done it his whole career.”
Mr. Biden met with The Register at the beginning of a two-day visit to Iowa. He boarded his “No Malarkey” campaign bus later Friday and headed to Williamsburg for an event there, to be followed by additional stops on Saturday.
Mr. Biden had previously said that he would not comply with a subpoena to testify at the impeachment trial. Asked Friday about that stance, he said, “The grounds for them to call me would be overwhelmingly specious. But, so, I don’t anticipate that happening anyway.”
Mr. Biden raised the scenario of voluntarily appearing at the Senate trial and explained why he did not view that as a good idea.
“What are you going to cover?” he asked, referring to the news media. “You’re going to cover, for three weeks, anything I said. And he’s going to get away.”

The only one that has to approve of it is McConnell.
This whole blaming Republicans for what dems are doing is getting to be old hat.
Especially when we have Sideshow Biden admitting to quid pro quo on fucking video.

Are you aware of the facts surrounding that video clip? If so, why are you pushing lies? If not, why are you so fucking incurious?

Incorrect. Roberts may very well take an active role. We don't know yet. There are very few "rules" for how this trial is supposed to be run. Try learning first and then typing.
He should participate and confess that he committed the crime Trump is accused of. Absolutely...
Very important to stop the witch trials and find the real people who committed crime.

Yes, because he is guilty and it will be proven in the Senate. You loons are ignorant, you based this impeachment fiasco. By starting it with Biden breaking the law.

Donald Trump is the world's dumbest politician. I would do the same thing. Tell Senate Republicans to take a hike. Biden would be smart to do that.
