On Friday, Dec. 27, former Vice President Joe Biden said that he would not comply with a subpoena to testify in President Trump’s upcoming Senate impeachment trial.
In an interview with the editorial board of the De Moines Register in Iowa, Biden claimed that if he were issued a subpoena to appear before the Senate, any testimony he would give would only draw attention away from Trump’s alleged wrongdoing and would effectively let the president off the hook.
“What are you going to cover?” Biden said to Register Executive Editor Carol Hunter in response to a question about the possibility of his participation in the trial. “You guys are going to cover for three weeks anything that I said. And (Trump’s) going to get away.”
“You guys buy into it all the time. Not a joke …” he added. “Think what it’s about. It’s all about what he does all the time, his entire career. Take the focus off. This guy violated the Constitution. He said it in the driveway of the White House. He acknowledged he asked for help.”
The Democrat-controlled House impeached Trump earlier this month for “abuse of power” and “obstruction of Congress” related to his dealings with Ukraine. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has yet to deliver the articles of impeachment to the Senate.
Biden Forced to Clarify His Statement on Subpoena
However, soon after the former VP made those statements, he was forced to clarify his position – which as stated – meant he would be breaking the law.
By Saturday, Biden was singing a different tune.
“I want to clarify something I said yesterday. In my 40 years in public life, I have always complied with a lawful order and in my eight years as VP, my office — unlike Donald Trump and Mike Pence — cooperated with legitimate congressional oversight requests,” he tweeted.
“But I am just not going to pretend that there is any legal basis for Republican subpoenas for my testimony in the impeachment trial. That is the point I was making yesterday and I reiterate: this impeachment is about Trump’s conduct, not mine,” he said.
Later on Saturday, during a town hall in Iowa, Biden said he “would obey any subpoena sent to me.”
“The question is, did Trump do his job,” he added.
Biden is the one who should be thoroughly investigated for the millions he has made from very ILLEGAL transactions!!!
These folks are real domestic terrorists. How can anyone with a brain think for a minute that our President should be punished for asking the question when Sleepy Joe is on film bragging about doing the very crime that was asked about!
The BIDEN’s are THIEVES & Pathological LIARS!!!
GOD BLESS the Greatest American PRESIDENT &
PATRIOT in USA History; POTUS Donald J. TRUMP…
this bloke should be jailed for corruption come on fbi do your bloody job properly
Man has a lot of brass to say “ ABUSE OF POWER AND OBSTRUCTION OF CONGRESS “ Nothing ever was presented that our President committed any crime….maybe he should look in the mirror.
No one in our great country of the USA believe any of this crap!! ?
Being subpoenaed is not a choice and bonehead Biden has no legal right to refuse this….make him TESTIFY AND THEN OUR GREAT PRESIDENT AND ALL OF THE USA WILL THEN SEE WHAT HE’S HIDING!!!
Go President TRUMP ALL THE WAY
????????????????????????
The ONLY reason BIDEN won’t Show is because he knows that they will CUFF and STUFF him
if he Shows Up ! Because he is a HABITUAL LIAR and a DERANGED Delusional THUG.
Well now, wouldn’t that be “obstruction of congress”? So can we then fully expect Democrat support in bringing charges against Mr. Biden since they applied that very measure to President Trump, or will they withdraw their hoax impeachment charges? Note at this point these are the only two options available to Democrats, any other decision should warrant an immediate dismissal of the impeachment hoax.
If he doesn’t answer an obey the legal subpoena, file charges against JOE THE MOLESTER, he must be related to CHESTER THE MOLESTER IN HUSTLER IN THE DIRTY MAGAZINE THATS MOST LIKELY UNDER HIS MATTRESS!!!!!!
Don’t like him attacking the old person that deserves respect from him!!! Joe you work for him, not other way around!! I’m 68years old, come talk to me like that an you’ll get knocked on your molesting ass!! You piece of shit!!
Meaning he will have to plead the fifth or his lawyer will get him classified as mentally incompetent.?
Joe, if you don’t comply, then you s/b eliminated from running for potus!
Wow! That’s a piss poor excuse if I’ve ever heard one! Mr. Biden is doing the exact lies he’s claiming of President Trump. Talk about a HYPOCRITE! This man has that title down pat!
This guy wont comply bc he knows they will destroy him… and he has the balls to Trump violated the constitution… He violated it the eight years he was in office.. Did he forget how he bragged about the billion dollars… He belongs in jail along with the rest of the democrat party where i wish they would abolish already… They just want to destroy this country
Wrong again boys. Biden said if he is subpoenaed he will testify Unlike corrupt trump and his four stooges who know trump is doomed if they do testify
Patriots 4truth.com. Are you afraid to post any thing that doesn’t fit your partisan website. Biden will testify if subpoenaed. Don’t be afraid of the truth
“ Creepeness “ when It comes to young ladies !? I would ‘nt Trust him for a Second! !
Bidens were cleared of everything by every intelligent agency and the impeachment is not about the Bidens it’s about the crimes trump has committed. Everything trump does is a diversion to get gullible people to get there minds off of all the crimes he has done
