I wonder what will happen if Trump orders people not to show up. Will the Senate put up with that challenge to their authority?

I’d be pleasantly surprised, but it would still be a surprise.

I'm only hearing from the "moderate" repugs is how offended they are by what the house managers are saying.

is the Biden's will show up and testify, and when it's time for relevant witnesses to testify. Trump will block them, and republicans in the senate wont do a damn thing about it.

Why aren't they demanding that the Clintons, the Kerrys, the Gores, the Hatfields and the McCoys all testify at Donald Trump's impeachment trial? All of them have just as much direct knowledge of Trump's impeachable offenses as the Bidens do.
