If Trump had seen the video of Biden bragging how he forced Ukraine to fire a Prosector, or Ukraine would not get the $billion, Biden's braggadocios confession would be a valid excuse to investigate. Biden has a habit of slipping up and this may have been an ill timed slip up of the facts. It would be in the na†tonal interest to ask Ukraine to verify Biden's Claim since this is a sensitive situation.
Biden also implicated Obama, according to his confession, when he told the Ukrainian Officials to call Obama to verify that Biden had the authority. Well, by golly, they fired the Prosecutor, implying Obama participated in a quid pro quo. Since quid pro quo is sufficient reason to impeach a president, according to the Democrats, if Biden did of this he cannot run for president since he would need to be impeached for what the Democrats have told us is grounds for impeachment.
If I was Trump's defense team, I would play the Biden video for everyone in the Senate Hall and in front of the TV cameras so the American public can also see. Many Democrats have denied seeing it or have denied the claims Biden made. This will set the record straight. Then the defense can make the case, since quid pro quo is so bad according to the Democrats, this video became a valid lead for a crime, that required the President speak with Ukraine. It implicated the top of the US government and only President had the power to see it through without road blocks.
I would stop the video at the part where Biden implicates Obama and say this part of Biden's confession means we need to be call Obama as a witness. We can play than part, a bunch of times, until the Democrats smell the coffee and use their power of reason. I would also call in the Ukrainian Officials who were in the middle of this. Maybe we would have to impeach Obama, after the fact, so his official record now shows impeachment, in the future.
As an alternative, I would call in the IG who was in charge of the Whistle Blower and ask why he changed the Whistle Blower complaint form to allow third hand gossip, instead of use the original form which specified a whistle blower needed first hand evidence. Was this a mistake that opened a can of worms, or was this planned as part of a conspiracy? The defense may need to dig. This is how you shift the focus of impeachment back to the accusers. Schiff is a habitual liar and he will fall into a perjury trap. Or maybe they can do both at the same time, since the trial will take weeks.
