No, but there has been a lot of "it's not really illegal," "but the process," "but what about these other unrelated things," and "trying to overturn the election!"
To make it easier, they are basically using their time in defense to smear Biden and do the same work Trump got impeached for.
I saw an article the other day saying 2/3rds of Republicans only trust Fox News, and the remaining 1/3rd only trust Fox News and ABC. Meanwhile 1 in 3 left learning people could cite 13 media sources they trust.
alan dershowitz isn't some random scholar unfortunately. He has defended some of the most famous american criminals and is very likely a recipient of epstein's "services"
Well to be honest those people wouldn't be subject to any sort of subpoena since Burisma is a Ukranian company based in Ukraine. That's what makes this such an easy target in regards to covering shit up. Why dig up dirt in the US when you can make up or dig up shit in another country where half the people in the "know" can't be brought over to testify or get hounded by reporters.
Oh I know, there's just no attempt to discuss who or what would be able to prove this supposed "corruption". It's so obvious in its meaninglessness.
There's a good documentary called "The Brainwashing of my Dad". Basically, it's years of brainwashing by right wing radio and Fox News on how they use fear.
That's basically what showed up a few years ago when some quinnipiac survey showed they were "the most trusted news network". They asked a bunch of people what they trusted. Liberals were split over about 6 different networks (and marked most of them as "somewhat trust"). Conservatives just went all in on one. Same thing that fucks us over on elections too I guess.I saw an article the other day saying 2/3rds of Republicans only trust Fox News, and the remaining 1/3rd only trust Fox News and ABC.

Many times I've spoken to a right leaning person and brought up the latest scandal or illegal activity by Trump and they are totally clueless about it, never even knew it happened, and I know they watch "news".
If, for some reason, the dam ends up breaking and they do vote to allow witnesses, the strategy will be to bring Hunter Biden in for the optics of questioning him on the Senate floor for the alleged "corruption" perpetrated by him and his father several years ago. The idea is that the Republicans can use this as an out to say "hey look see! The Bidens really WERE dirty, and doing exactly what the House is unfairly accusing the President of! They really were corrupt, therefore all the stuff that Trump did (which we're also saying he didn't do) was actually perfectly justified as rooting out corruption in Ukraine, and thus not impeachable (even though we're saying this conduct (which he didn't do) wouldn't be impeachable even if he did do it)."
It's just for sound bites and to muddy the waters. But I just don't understand what would happen if they actually got what they wanted by openly investigating the Biden's. What do they think they'd actually uncover by questioning Hunter?
... probably the same party split they are now? As if the Senate R's would vote for anything beyond their own self interest as long as the vote was secret.
It's been proven long before then. It's just that 2016 proved the stupid goes deeper than previously thought.
I mean, that does work. For everyone. If people think someone is corrupt, then
They said the same thing in 2016 with their exact same obvious smear campaign and... seems to have worked fine.
I think a lot of people overestimate how many are morons and underestimate how many know exactly what they're doing.
Ah okay.
