It isn't a Biden-Trump trial but Biden is very relevant to it all. If you believe Trump, his conversation with Ukraine was to further uncover Biden corruption and mis-deeds which was already in the public domain before Trump was POTUS. Yes, it is true that Biden is now a possible democrat candidate for POTUS himself. But in Trumps eyes, it is a campaign promise to investigate all kinds of corruption including Biden and son. In the strict legal since, there is a conflict of interest but since there is only one POTUS there would be no way for a POTUS to recuse himself of this duty.Learn your Constitution!
This isn't a Biden-Trump trial. It's a Constitutional impeachment trial where Trump has to defend himself. Therefore, Biden doesn't NECESSARILY have to be a witness even if he or his son or the combination of the two are guilty of some kind of corruption. Twitler used his office and taxpayer funds to go after a political opponent, regardless of guilty, which is at minimum a conflict of interest but since it involves way more, it's worse--bribery and treason against democracy itself.
Now supposing that Bidens are reasonably guilty of something, then they have a different legal process for discovering this. Such evidence needs to comply with the 4th amendment inasmuch as it applies to national boundaries and persons. That means investigators write up subpoenas involving probable cause for items/documents that are specified and the right people are informed so that the Biden(s) can defend themselves in a court of law later. That court of law has a DIFFERENT set of procedures than a Presidential impeachment trial.
End of Story!
At least that is Trump's argument. And it is a very compelling argument IMO.
