Politico- Josh Hawley preparing subpoenas for Hunter Biden, Adam Schiff, whistleblower

Determined to get to the bottom of the withholding of Congressionally-appropriated funds for Ukraine, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Missouri is preparing impeachment trial subpoenas to issue to people he apparently thinks were involved in that decision including Hunter Biden, son of former Vice President Joe Biden and the lead House impeachment manager, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-California.

Of course, that depends on witnesses being called at all, which at this juncture seems unlikely.







Politico reports Hawley also intends to subpoena the whistleblower, whose initial report triggered the investigation.

Obviously, Hawley is showing the same deep thinking skills she employed during his brief term as Missouri's attorney general.

Sic em boy. It is pitiful that you have nothing better to do, like maybe, some healthcare initiatives, infrastructure rebuilding or fighting climate change. Just like your service to Missouri you and your brethren are total losers and spend time protecting our nutbag.

Profiles In Republican Spinelessness: Roy Blunt.



Roy Blunt says he's unlikely to vote to call Bolton.

"Unless there's a witness who's going to change the outcome, I can't imagine why we'd want to stretch this out for weeks and months. And if we call any witnesses who are subject to privilege, it would take weeks and months.'' https://twitter.com/LauraLitvan

I say again: if the Senate is going to call witnesses, then I will ask to hear from Adam Schiff, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden & the whistleblower, at a minimum


NEWS: Romney says it’s “increasingly likely” that there will be enough Republicans to vote in support of calling John Bolton as a witness. He wouldn’t say specifically who.




It's amusing, in an apocalyptic sort of way, that people are still asking "what will the Republicans' defense be to this," when the defense is and always has been "f$ck you."

Steve Doocy: The report about Trump ordering Ukrainian aid withheld "doesn't look like good timing to a lot of people, but Fox News has confirmed that [Trump] wanted to make sure that the new president of Ukraine understood" how serious Trump was about ending corruption.

Ainsley Earhardt frets that the Trump/Ukraine story is "like saying Brian or Steve, you're going to lose your job because of a conversation that someone says you promised someone, but we don't know what you said. We don't know what the conversation was. It's ridiculous!"

Steve Doocy: "If the president said 'I will give you the money but you've got to investigate Joe Biden,' that is really off-the-rails wrong. But if it's something else, you know, it would be nice to know what it is."

Brian Kilmeade is still baselessly speculating that the whistleblower is just mad that Trump won the 2016 election, and ultimately that's what this is all about. These petulant babies think everything is the damn 2016 election, while also saying The Left Can't Get Over 2016.


Brian Kilmeade argues against releasing Ukrainian call transcript by conjuring a bizarre comparison to Obama and illnesses suffered by US diplomats in Cuba: "Was there something that went on in President Obama's conversation with Raul Castro? I need to see the transcript!"

Howdy Doody Hawley isn’t subpoenaing anyone...jurors don’t issue subpoenas, however the House prosecutors can petition Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts to issue one based on the new evidence in John Bolton’s book that states Trump told Bolton that aid was dependent on investigating the Biden’s. I don’t think the Chief Justice will participate in the GOP’s desired cover up in not allowing relevant witnesses. You can’t claim “executive privilege” when the book was cleared by the government of not violating national security. The GAO report declaring Trump broke the law is also new evidence.

Poor 12:54, don't you know the GOP does not want to know. Kind of like the Mitchell Trio song of the early 60's, "We didn't know that those boxcars contained a jew or two, we didn't know that we were dropping bombs to keep SE Asia free, we didn't know that our preachers sang songs about keeping white people free". They had another good one about "Your friendly neighborhood KuKluxKlan" that is hilarious

Is the satirical internet nickname Howdy Doody Hawley or is it Howdy Dookie Hawley? I'm asking for a friend!
