Will Joe Biden Take the Fifth in a Senate Trial?
The spectacle of the former vice president testifying before the Senate would be a disaster for Democrats.

Recently, I asked a liberal friend whether Joe Biden would assert his Fifth Amendment rights in an eventual trial before the Senate. “That’s never going to happen,†my friend sniffed. He went on to mock the “conspiracy theory†that the Ukrainians interfered in the election and the “debunked†theory that Hunter Biden somehow broke a law by taking money from Burisma.
“Yes it will,†I responded. “The whole theory for impeachment hinges on the assumption that the investigation of the Bidens was just a personal political hit job to help in 2020. If Trump can establish a legitimate law enforcement concern in looking into the Bidens and/or Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election, the whole thing falls apart.â€
And it doesn’t stop there.
As I’ve pointed out, the “whistleblower†and Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) have also claimed to have access to secret evidence of presidential wrongdoing. Both have smeared the president in the court of public opinion. Thus, it’s only fair that both be asked to show the American people where they got their information.
