trickery, but is it a good idea not to be complying or to be talking about not complying? i think that we ll hear vice president biden flesh out his answer a little bit more over the coming days. i suspect that what we ve heard so far is shorthand for this larger concept, which is that at trials, the only witnesses who can testify are witnesses who have relevant testimony to offer. joe biden was in no position to observe president trump when he was involved in his escapade in ukraine. joe biden has no relevant testimony to offer on president trump s obstruction of congress by refusing to comply with subpoenas for witness testimony or for documents. so there s really no reason for the vice president to testify. the only reason that he would be called or that perhaps his son, hunter, would be called would be if this was going to be a show trial that was trying to deflect from the president s conduct. joe biden isn t on trial here.
republicans have in calling joe biden is sort of a bit of trickery, but is it a good idea not to be complying or talking about not complying? i think we ll hear vice president biden flesh out his answer a little bit more over the coming days. i semiconductuspect what we ve far is shorthand for this larger concept, which is that at trials, the only witnesses who can testify are witnesses who have relevant testify to offer. joe biden was in no position to observe president trump when he was involved in his escapade in ukraine. joe biden has no relevant testimony to offer on president trump s obstruction of congress by refusing to comply with subpoenas for witness testimony or for documents. so there s really no reason for the vice president to testify. the only reason that he would be called or that perhaps his son hunter would be called would be if this was going to be a show trial that was trying to deflect from the president s conduct.
we must not allow these kind of things to enter our consciousness. i wanted to write a story very much about this guy and his power and the reach he had. so i began to contact ex-members. and they said that all is not so good inside, that there were beatings if you got out of line. there was a lot of sex abuse. and the story took on a new life at that point. very soon afterwards, the church members began leaving san francisco for guyana. you see in the distance the housing complex that is being built. he figures if i m in guyana, it really doesn t matter what s said or written, nobody s going to get me here. we are a happy family we re a happy family yes we are it was an escapade that s almost unparalleled in the history of religious movements. they had very little communication with loved ones at home. and naturally there was concern
jurors in the criminal case, the simpson case, pick a case, promised to put anything they might know about anything, if they know too much they can t even sit on the jury. they re sworn to listen to the facts and come in at trial. jurors here are completely different. devin nunes was a participant in this escapade. right. the jurors in a criminal case, by the way, don t run for anything. they go back to their lives as accountants or plumbers or airline pilots or whatever it is they did before they were sworn to sit on a jury. so i think it only gets you so far. it s a fair analogy but it has its limitations. republicans have a talent for keeping the focus on what people hate because trump s great strength, he seems to hate the same people that his voters hate like immigrants. that s how he succeeds.
investigations difficult for everything. i m joined by betsy wood roveswann, and white house report for los angeles times. eli, what is in here, in terms of trying to figure out this whoa a thing, this whoa escapade by president trump and rudy giuliani. it paints a picture with stunning detail what he was doing in ukraine, and how what he was seeking. any evidence to expos ukraine interference in the election and anything to reflight poorly on joe biden. through the reporting, the report spends a lot of time with the prosecutor and with giuliani. he doesn t just admit he wants
