But if he did testify, they may regret it.
He actually could state his legal background, board of directors experience and how many boards have what is called "celebrity members". I wrote on twitter a while back... Depak Chopra was on the board of Men's Warehouse and he isn't a tailor.

OK and I'll add that he is a nice looking man who will go over well on TV

On week two of the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, registered voters say 75 - 20 percent that witnesses should be allowed to testify in the impeachment trial, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pea-ack) University national poll released today. Support for witness testimony includes 49 percent of Republicans, 95 percent of Democrats, and 75 percent of independents.

"There may be heated debate among lawmakers about whether witnesses should testify at the impeachment trial of President Trump, but it's a different story outside the Beltway. Three-quarters of American voters say witnesses should be allowed to testify, and that includes nearly half of Republican voters," said Quinnipiac University Poll Analyst Mary Snow.

On the question of whether President Trump should be removed from office, voters remain divided, as 48 percent say the Senate should not remove President Trump from office, while 47 percent say the Senate should. That compares to a January 13 poll, conducted prior to the start of the Senate impeachment trial, in which 48 percent said the president should not be removed from office, while 46 percent said he should. ..................................

I imagine 2/3 want to hear from Bolton and 1/3 want to see the Bidens embarrassed and harassed.

He doesn't know anything, so I don't see what the Republicans stand to gain by calling him. Honestly, I think it would be smart (for the impeachment effort and for his father's presidential campaign) for him to take the wind out of Republicans' sails by offering to testify voluntarily. Neither he nor his father did anything wrong, so they have nothing to hide. Why not show it by calling their bluff and offering to testify?
