Lol. If you think Son of a [BLEEP] Biden evades a subpoena when the Senate calls for questions, and that line of questioning doesn't go to the others then you are very naive. Pelosi knows this is a losing game for the Dems, too bad the radicals are in charge now. Well...not too bad as far as I'm concerned, actually more like, "please, take all the rope you want!"

The rights to call witnesses in defense does not kick in until the trial begins.
A wise prosecutor will question the accused informally and check in on any witnesses that the accused mentions, but these are matters of wisdom, not rights.

Giuliani said last night that no one from the Admin is going to talk to them. He wont engage until it goes to the Senate, he's putting it on the Dems to formally act on the record before they respond. He's gonna destroy them, even a poster like you knows that the Dems in the House are the polar opposite of "wise."

Typically an accused person has a right to refuse to answer a prosecutor's questions up until the point that the prosecutor issues a subpoena.  At that point, if the accused refuses to show, they will be arrested by the police. The House doesn't have that kind of police force, but they have arrested and held people before, and could again.  That said, no one is going to evade any subpoena once things are in front of the Chief Justice and the Senate majority agrees.  The US Marshalls will be compelling people to appear at that point.  

I think it would be a fair process for the House to try to get all their questions answered, fail, and then bring articles of impeachment anyhow.  Let the questions be answered at the trial if they won't answer during investigation.

As for whether Biden would be called, Trump's lawyer probably will call him.  It would be up to the Senate and the Chief Justice to agree on if he has to come, and which questions he has to answer.  I don't think Trump's lawyers will get much of a leash in that area, if they even let Biden be called at all.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
