Biden vows to defy Senate Subpoena, is that his "right"? (Page 2): I heard he can refuse and Obama can still stop it with executive privilege.

Nobody is interested in blocking it. He already said he would testify.

No more than it is trump's right to claim an executive privilege on things way outside of what is covered by executive privilege.

And you would know this, HOW?

It will be the end of his campaign. He won't.

Biden is not a part of trump s impeachment. If trump really wanted an investigation of Biden, he could have ordered it.

Y'all keep saying that as if saying it removes him from the potential witness list. If it comes to witnesses, Biden will be called and if he shows he will be cut to pieces in front of national TV. If he refuses the whole thing grinds to a stop as this goes through the courts for who knows how long.

If trump believed there was anything there he would have called for a real investigation instead of just a news comment that he could campaign with

Trump has many times called for a real investigation and even a real trial.

BS, he has not once asked the FBI or state department to investigate.

Oh, well we know he can trust them! LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, he has asked Ukraine to look into it. He has Giuliani who now has evidence. He has statements by Ukraine officials. And yes, he even has Durham and Barr doing their part. But as for the FBI/CIA, there is nothing stopping them from investigating and I would bet that they have/are.
