If they put Hawley on the stand, at the Impeachment, he’ll be forced to commit Perjury, Conspiracy or worse, OR tell the truth! He’ll have to ADMIT that the reason for the Insurrection, “The Steal,” is a Seditious LIE, and he always knew it. This is why Lindsay Graham is SO AFRAID of witnesses testifying!? With no 5th, no ability to refuse to testify, and on live TV, let the trump cult hear what they lost everything for, from the mouths of those who lead them there?!

@pakelika100 : I’m afraid you’re wrong. No Senator, no Congress member can refuse testimony at an impeachment, if they’re a witness. They can be subpoenaed, and even resignation has no effect on that compulsion. And there is no 5th Amendment protection either, precisely because, as you pointed out, it is a political process, not a criminal proceeding. This is why, if you remember your history, so many incriminating testimonies have been heard in Senate and Congressional Inquiries in the first place. All those people, who would rather have been anywhere else, have destroyed their own, and other people’s, careers on the stand. Look it up. See, it’s less about what you would like it to be, and more about what it is. Why do you think Lindsay Graham is trying to persuade them NOT to call witnesses, making lame threats on TV? Why do you think Ted Cruz is using his TV time, walking back his, “belief,” in the Seditious LIE they call, “The Steal?” They are terrified of that whole lie being exposed as such, by them; the very people who spread it. I know my Constitutional Law . . . Believe me, bigly 😉
