#1 With Sen. Thune on this one. Not sure Giuliani's judgments are always sound. Esp. on Ukrainian matters.

The GOP needs to be smarter here and play chess.

The only thing that matters for the next 11.5 months is winning re-election and carrying with it as many pro-Trump congressmen as possible.

#2 Seeing Biden’ politically crushed to a pulp would be fun.

#8 So let's see.. in spite of all the evidence of bribery and corruption by the Biden Family, Pater Familias may not be investigated because it might be politically inconvenient? OK. Got it.

Thank you, sir, May I please have another, sir?

#9 He's 'family.' We can't go throwing family under the bus.

#10 You all make good points.

I would just suggest that the GOP keep its powder dry for now and wait to question Biden and Ensign Cokeblower during the Senate trial, which would/will actually follow due process and rules of evidence.

That would finish Biden off for good, boost Bloomberg as a 3rd party candidate and let Trump face Trotsky or Fauxcahontas in the general.

#11 So then there's no stomach for a serious investigation regarding Ukraine--U.S. corruption?

#12 ^ yes but be clever about it. Let's not blindly charge ahead and replicate The Shitshow.
Patience. Long game.
