Does anyone else wonder what the rationale for asking for Hunter Biden to testify in the impeachment trial is? What is he supposed to be able to testify to? That he landed a sweet job because his dad is famous? That he forced trump to call and put a condition on the Ukrainian president in order to receive military aid? That he and the former US Ambassador there used to get together and make trump jokes? Or is it just a distraction tactic for gullible cultists like the one about how all this is somehow an effort to reverse the results of the past election? I am not a cultist and therefore fail to see how the last election or Hunter Biden forced trump to do what he did, lie about it, and try to prevent it from being investigated. Hell, I bet Devin Nunes' cow could testify and clear all this up in thirty minutes. How can it not be so?
Yep, it's confusion and distraction, despite POSPOTUS, Rudy and Mulvaney having already confessed, and the call memo and other witnesses having already proved the crimes. There's no basis to investigate Joe or his son, none. The prosecutor was not investigating Hunter's company at the time, Hunter was never implicated in anything, and the issue with the uber-corrupt prosecutor who has become the right's idol is that he was NOT investigating corruption.
Then, Joe Biden was always carrying out BIPARTISAN US policy and it's only hypocritical rightwing morons that are now saying otherwise without any evidence at all backing them up.

Finally, even if there was a basis to investigate Joe or his son, that is done by neutral professionals at the FBI with strict separation from political entities. For POSPOTUS to request or even worse coerce an investigation of his political rival by a foreign government, which IS campaign assistance, is automatically a campaign law felony and treason. POSPOTUS, Rudy and Mulvaney have already confessed to this, and the call memo and other witnesses have already proved the crimes.
I heard on TV news that your TN Sen. Lamar Alexander is one of the swing Repugs that might vote FOR calling witnesses. Could be worth a non-scathing comm from you.
