Biden refuses to testify during impeachment: ‘Not going to let them take their eye off the ball’

American Mirror: Former vice president Joe Biden doesn’t have time to be bothered with Democrats’ impeachment malarkey.

A reporter asked Biden about his willingness to “appear voluntarily” in the proceedings during a stop on the campaign trail Wednesday, and the elderly statesman quickly shut down the idea.

“No, I’m not going to let them take their eye off the ball,” Biden said. “The president is the one who has committed impeachable crimes, and I’m not going to let him divert from that. Not going to let anybody to divert from that.”

He then shifted to something else.

“Like you’ve heard me say a lot of times, if he’s worried about corruption, I released 21 years of my tax returns. Let him release some of his,” Biden zinged.

“You said yesterday, if you could wave a magic wand, you would beat him at the ballot box,” another reporter chimed in. “Why not help the Democrats build the case on Capitol Hill with the country for impeaching the president, especially since you’re so involved in it?”

The question references Biden’s comments caught on video about threatening to withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees from Ukraine during his time as Obama’s VP and point person with the country. The threat, Biden said, forced Ukrainian government officials to fire a prosecutor who was investigating corruption at the national gas company Burisma Holdings, which paid Biden’s son Hunter millions to serve as a board member. watch

  1. Even in his hazy state of mind the pressure of the Ukraine controversy has him rattled. He’s lapsing in and out of coherency where one minute he’s giving a campaign speech the next he’s squaring off with a member of the crowd.
    Now a judge has ordered his son to produce documents regarding payments from Burisma putting more pressure on Joe. The stress should have him howling at the moon before too much longer.

  2. “The president is the one who has committed impeachable crimes, and I’m not going to let him divert from that.”

    Keep saying it, maybe it will come true.

    “Joe Biden is currently president until death or 4 more years.”

    Just skip the elections and call it yours, Joe. The media will cover for you. Surely there’s a map with your name on it, granted by that pesky electoral college, pinned to the wall behind the desk of Jeff Zucker.

  4. I think that after Joe’s “Big Fat Liar” meltdown, some of the journos are making a game of baiting him, seeing who can goad him into coming over there and giving them what for, by cracky.

  5. …it’s said the word “Testify” comes to us from an ancient practice of holding the scrotum while speaking as a gesture of sincerity (not a problem for women, because they weren’t allowed to speak).

    …I’d say old Joe’s so tense over this that if HE were to testify in this manner, he’d yank those huevoes right off, so maybe there’s some validity in it…

  6. “No, I’m not going to let them take their eye off the ball,” Biden said. “AS THE VICE-president I WAS the one who has committed impeachable crimes, and I’m not going to let him divert from that. Not going to let anybody to divert from that.”
