We previously discussed how Hunter Biden was gracious enough to say that he might appear before Congress after receiving a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee when “the time is right.” As I noted at the time, that is not quite how subpoenas work. It is really not an invitation. Now a date has been set for December 13th, but Hunter’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, is suggesting that he will not appear in private but only in a public hearing. Again, Hunter fundamentally misses the point of a congressional subpoena.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., quickly disabused Hunter of the point of the subpoena and said that he will indeed appear in a private session before a public hearing. That is precisely what the Democrats have done, including with dozens of witnesses in the January 6th committee.
This is a bad start for Hunter, who is a lawyer. For years, he has been able to manipulate the media and create ever changing rationales for his role in the alleged corruption scheme from expert to addict to victim.
Those spins could now come at a cost. While the Justice Department slow walked his investigation and allowed the statute of limitations to run, any misrepresentation could be charged as a new felony with a new statute of limitations.
Hunter will appear in the place set by the Committee. He can choose his answers, but not his forum. Putting the bravado of the letter aside, he now has a date with Congress and he will no longer be able to orchestrate how he will appear in public.
Here is the letter from Lowell:
2023.11.28-A.-Lowell-Letter-to-Chairman-Comer-
That fact that Hunter’s lawyer references a Philip Bump column in her letter is an indication that she ain’t too bright
Biden’s presidency is failing and his supporters, little by little, are abandoning ship. He will not serve a second term. There is someone in the bullpen yet to be announced. He does nothing, literally nothing and cares about nothing but himself. The griff he has been running for decades is coming to an end. Anyone who doesn’t see this needs to get an eye exam or their head examined. It’s not rocket science. He and his administration is a disgrace and an embarrassment to this nation and its citizens.
This is a sad chapter in our nation’s history.
@EM
I agree that Biden won’t serve a second term.
However… he will get the Dem nomination because its rigged that way.
The only thing stopping him would be if he had a stroke or dies.
Personally I want him to run.
It will be far harder to steal an election when you have a wider margin between the two candidates.
Perhaps JT has already mentioned this, I do not know. Did JT have the same advise for Jim Jordan who did not answer to a congressional subpoena?
Congress can not subpeona its own members.
Or more accurately it can, but there is absolutely no ability to force them to show up, nor any ability to put them under oath.
Try the speech and debate clause of the constitution.
This is not a jordan thing. it is a constitution thing.
You will be glad of it when the house tried to subpeona Pelosi regarding J6.
It is near certain she will refuse.
In the unlikely event she testifies, she can lie.
And there is nothing that can be done about it.
If you do not like this – change the constitution.
Ask Peter Navarro. He might have some insight.
Or Bannon?
Dilbert is Dilbert dikhead
Long live the weasel Zippers!
And suppose he refuses?
Does any republican have the spine to arrest him and bring him in? If anything is on trial it is Dual Justice which so far obviously trumps anything else congress, DoJ, or SCOTUS can come up with because his name is Biden, not Trump.
It is not a question of spine. It is a question of power.
Congress has no law enforcement capability off of capitol grounds. The best the house can do is hope Hunter steps foot on the capital and have the sargetn at arms throw him in the capitol jail.
Congress can not charge, him, they can not prosecute him.
The most they can do is hold him in contempt,
Which has no meaning – unless DOJ decides to enforce the contempt.
Again if you do not like this – change the constitution.
The constitution is not red or blue. It just is what it is.
It does not always work as we want, but it works the same for all – or it is supposed to.
This is also why democrats are so afraid of Trump becoming president.
He will be able to do to them, what they have done to him.
And there is little that can be done to stop it.
I strongly suspect that one of the reasons that Trump and many republicans are overtly threatening exactly that is to put the courts on notice.
Find for the Biden administration today, and you will be trapped with the same rulings under Trump II tomorow.
The “threat” is not to the Biden admin or Democrats.
It is a message to the courts – Reign this garbage in now, or you will be stuck with it forever.
It is early to tell, but I think the courts are starting to listen.
Despite stupid dicta, Trump has won all the ballot access cases.
Trump has won 4 times on appeal against Egron.
I was shocked at the audio of the obama,obama,biden 3 judge panel reviewing Trumps appeal of Chuktan’s gag order. That does not prove how they rule., but in questoning they all could have been federalists. They were very good at dismantling the DOJ’s garbage claims regarding the first amendment.
Regardless, the message that is being sent – is that you do not have to like Trump, but if you want to reign him in as president. If you wish to thwart his weaponization of the federal government against democrats, you must Stop Biden from doing that now.

Do the math to figure out how much more you’re spending every month to heat your home and get to work.
They’re turning the gaslights down low to obstruct your vision. Will you fall for it?
Every year in March as we stroke a check to the IRS I consider how much our own President and his family have skated without penalty on their own taxes. It is hard to believe that out of all the great patriotic Americans we have, we are reduced to having fukstix like we have as our leaders.
I do not think that democrats fully grasp how damaging the Tax dodging is.
Everyone one of us KNOWS we would not get the sweetheart deals Hunter is getting.
We may not understand the influence pedaling nor when that is legal ad when it is not,
We may buy the everyone in washington is doing it.
But we KNOW that if we do not pay our taxes, the IRS will be at our door.
That we will face crippling fines, and be threatened with jail.
No Wealthy CA Democrat lawyer will give us millions to pay our taxes expecting nothing in return.
Further the Tax problems is NOT a Hunter Biden problem.
It is a Joe Biden, Democrat, DOJ, IRS problem. The issue is not that Hunter did not pay his taxes. It is not that he is guilty of CRIMINAL tax fraud.
The issue is that he is being protected and ordinary people KNOW that.
Doing the same thing over and over yet expecting a different result is known as stupidity.
Yet here appears Svelaz yet again…..whatever can the Professor and his Admins be thinking?
Time to go watch some shopping channels for a while and perhaps see something new on offer.
Dennis McIntyre
Please, tell us all again, how do AR-15s cause more damage to human flesh than other rifles?
It just occurred to me, that Dennis McInlyre, who claimed that Hunter has been quiet as a mummy, like a good little criminal, didn’t even notice the picture that went with the headline of this column, which clearly shows Hunter in a televised interview, “breaking his silence on the Ukraine dealings”.
More proof that he is just a bot.
Bwahahahahahahaha
Moron.
It’s very important to understand that transhumanism is simply the transitional stage between humanism and posthumanism. Make no mistake the final goal is to eradicate humanity as we know it.
Once you understand the final destination it becomes much easier to look back and identify the psychological conditioning, the biological tampering, the cultural grooming, and the educational prepping that we have been subjected to for decades, in preparation to making us accept a posthuman future.

Jonathan: The real Q is why Chairman Comer has shown no interest in investigating all the corruption and influence peddling inside the DJT WH. It is well documented. What about Jared Kushner who spent his time in the WH protecting Saudi Crown Prince bin Salman over his murder of WP columnist Khashoggi? Shortly after leaving the WH Kushner received a $2 billion payout from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund–even though the fund managers were opposed. Bin Salman overruled the fund recommendation.
Jamie Raskin, the ranking Dem on the House Oversight Committee, asked Comer back in March to co-sign a letter asking Kushner to provide docs about the payment. Comer refused. Comer said: “If we don’t determine what is legal and what is not and at the very least increase the disclosure laws with immediate family members with their foreign dealings, then we are going to continue to have a problem whoever the next president is”.
If that is the case why hasn’t Comer wanted to investigate Kushner? That’s because Comer wants DJT to be the next President and an investigation of Kushner would create problems for DJT’s candidacy next year. But what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. If Hunter Biden deserves to be investigated why not Jared Kushner?
“If Hunter Biden deserves to be investigated why not Jared Kushner?”
Are you an 8 year old? When did you stop questioning why your big sister got more cereal in her bowl than you? Stop acting like a dunce. Everyone knows why Comer isn’t investigating Kushner, and doesn’t need your simpleton implication.
But if you must have an explanation other than the obvious one, how about DJT ain’t president, nincompoop?
One thing at a time. Nice distraction play by Democrats who with the help of media, try to obfuscate or BS their way through corruption. You should be saying let’s investigate all crime but manage to turn it into a problem for Kushner. Typical Democrat / media play. It’s not working. You got disgraceful intel people to swear the laptop was Russian disinformation. You got social media to shut down the laptop revelations by using the FBI as the Biden delivery boy. That was after they sat on the laptop, which you denied was Hunter’s, starting Nov 2019. Then you attacked the computer guy. Now Hunter’s arrogant ass of an attorney is trying to say Hunter is going to grace The Committee with his presence. The arrogance and corrupt nature of the Biden administration is on full display
For
DM – whether you like it or not Biden would have done the same – depsite his claim otherwise.
Did the saudi’s murder Koshogian ? Near certainly.
What is it you expect the US is to do about that ?
The crime occured in Turkey. The US has no jurisdiction.
We could in theory sanction SA – do you really beleive that is going to happen ?
If the US sanctioned SA – OPEC would drive gas prices to $10/gal.
Further Both Turkey and SA are critical US allies.
We can not afford to piss of either.
Both are both fairly reliable allies and pretty bad countries.
I would prefer the US were not in bed with either – but we are.
We did NOT take George Washington’s advice and stay out of the affairs of other countries.
As to the house investigating this – Why ?
While it has something to do with US foreign policy – it does not have anything to do with it in any way that would change it.
Whether you like it or not the vast majority of US Mideast foreign policy is very nearly set in stone.
I am sure Joe Biden does not like being between a rock and a hard place regarding Israel.
And he is absolutely going to put lots of preasure in
Israel to get a cease fire. But there is absolutely no way he will ACTUALLY do anything to F#$K over Israel. Israel is in the US national interests. Ukrain is not, Gaza is not.
Saudie Arabia is – though not so much as Israel. Iran is not. Biden and Obama cosying up to Iran was a huge mistake democrats are paying for right now.
The war in Ukraine was avoidable. The War in Israel was aviodable.
I have no idea what you think the Trump administration was going to do differently regarding the killing of Koshogian. Kushner did not have to “defend” SA.
The US was going to do everything possible to stay out of that spitting contest.
If you really want to put US foreign policy on a stronger moral foundation – I am with you.
But pretending that there was some Special Trump problem is stupid.
Trump was quite clear about his foreign policy – US Interests First (2nd and third).
Staying out of a spat between Turkey and SA fits that perfectly.
Is that perfectly moral foreign policy ? Nope.
Is is far better than the absolutely stupid neither moral nor in the US interests policiies of Biden ? Absolutely.
I did not expect Trump to be good at Foreign policy. He was incredible.
He was better than Nixon and Kissenger. Better than Carter, Better than Reagan.
While he did not face problems as severe as those, he still was incredibly successful.
Keeping the Koshogian thing from turning into a massive problem was a SUCCESS.
Right now we have both Israel and Biden making deals with terrorists to get the relase of innocents, they are trading terrorsts – murders, vile people.
Very few people are saying we can not do that.
Biden has already repeatedly traded very bad people for americans who were far from innocent. Some of us may grumble – but most of us would do the same. Even though it is likely a mistake.
Jimmy Carter is likely to die very soon. He was a great president. But he screwed up the Iran hostage crisis. He was Human, not a president. He made the wrong choices.
Those causes serious harm to this country over the long run.
A deal was ultimately struck because the Ayatolah beleived that President Reagan might Nuke Iran if they did not make this happen. I doubt he would have. But what matters is that Iran thought he might.
Hamas,. Hezbolla, Iran KNOW that Biden and Netanyahu will cave to get hostages.
They have done so before. I understand why. Most of the country understands why.
I would cave. But it is the wrong choice.
For all the great things Carter did, i the hostage crisis, he went with human, not president.
And it ultimately cost him the presidency.
My point is that all this is not so easy as you pretend. `
We can judge presidents performance.
Carter was actually quite good at forign policy – EXCEPT the Iran hostage crisis.
Reagan and Later Trump did not have to make the choices Carter had to make – because our enemies were not sure Reagan and Trump would not nuke them.
There is an excellent line in the recent Golda Mier/Helen Miren movie about the Yom Kipur war. Mier was asked by an aide whether she could allow 300,000 egyptian soldiers to die of thirst in the Sinai – her answer is “I need the world to beleive I will”.
Is it really necescary to explain that too you ?
I do understand that you are cu=onfused becuase the Biden administration has done so many stupid things that the U never should have done, and that these have resulted in Harm to the US and harm to the world.
I would be more impressed if like Carter, they made choices harmful to US interests because they were overwhelmed by their humanity.
But that is not the case. The Ukrainina people, The Israeli people, even the Palesitinian people are paying for the bad choices of the Biden administration,
Choices that were driven by STUPID childish left wing nut politics – not humanity or morality.
Forget all that. Why the **** should we care about Kashoggi? The whole premise that we ought to have done something about it, and Kushner went to bat to save the Saudis, is stupid. Kashoggi got what he deserved, and the US policy should have been publicly that it’s none of our business, and privately to congratulate MBS on a job well done. The idea that writing columns for a newspaper should make someone immune from the normal consequences of his actions, that it makes someone special and entitles him to special protections, is wicked and evil, and un-American. The pretense that this privileged state is actually rooted in the US constitution is perverted. The freedom of the press does not refer to the news industry; it is simply the freedom of each person to publish whatever he likes. Nothing more.
You ask Why hasn’t comer investigated Kushner ?
Because Mega ultra billionaires asking billionaries to invest billions and make a profit for them is not a crime.
Kushner held press conferences announcing what he was doing.
He was not hiding anything. He did not run things through 20 shell companies.
It is incredibly clear to all but a moron that Kushner was providing Qatar with his services as a successful NYC real estate investor with a track record of managing 10 figure portfolios.
Hunter does not have a track record as a finger painter.
Kushner was selling his ability to invest 3.5B and turn it into 4B or 5B or 6B by investing it in real estate.
Hunter was selling the Public Power of the Vice presidency.
No one accuses McDonalds of public corruption and bribery and influence pedaling for selling hamburgers.
No one accuses CitiBank of public corruption and bribery and influence pedaling for selling mortgages.
Regardless, you say Comer is not investigating Kushner, Correct,
Neither is Garland. Because there is no crime to investigate.
Is it highly likely that Qatar picked Kushner rather than some other highly qualified billionaire because of their experiences with him in negotiating tha Abraham accords during the Trump administration ? Certainly. BTW Kushner did amazingly.
An american Jew in the Trump administration negotiated the largest mideast peace deal EVER – Carter’s camp david accord is more impressive – BECAUSE IT WAS FIRST.
But no one ever negotiated a deal this big.
Not Reagan, not Bush I, not Clinton – Clinton got Israel to give the PLO pretty much EVERYTHING in return for a peace deal – and Arrafat said no.
Not Bush II, Obama/Biden was too busy stupidly fawning over terrorist sponsor state Iran,
But Trump and Kushner did this.
Regardless, if your argument is a bunch of Arab leaders decided to invest Billions with a Jew because he was able to get them to do something that they had resisted for 70 years – reach a peace agreement with Israel – that this is someone bribery or influence pedaling.
Really ?
Kushner sold almost a dozen arab countries peace with Israel.
You doubt he could sell them investing Billions with him ?
What is the great peace deal that Hunter negotiated ?
If Hunter Biden had worked with Joe to strike a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia i 2015, there would be an argument for why Ukrainian oligarchs were rewarding him with other deals that might benefit him personally.
But Hunter was selling public corruption, not world peace or real estate investment.
Professor Turley,
Comparing this response to the J6 Commission was a curious choice. Trump’s response to their subpoena was a lawsuit to block it. Which response is more antagonistic?
A bit different considering Trump was a President of the US while Hunter is or was a corrupt drug addict and family fixer
Jonathan: What is it with you and Hunter Biden? I know. Your paymaster, Fox News, thinks keeping Hunter in the news and wrapping him in so much “suspicion” about his dad, will tank Pres. Biden’s chances of re-election next year. That’s a pipe dream. Because Chair Comer has yet to find any evidence that Biden has committed “high crimes and misdemeanors”. But that has not stopped you from continuing to churn up the controversy.
But in your column today you falsely claim Hunter has been able to “manipulate the media”. Not true. When prosecutor David Weiss started his investigation of Hunter 5 years ago Hunter remained quiet like a mummy. Not a peep out of him right up to the moment of the plea agreement that failed. It was only after Comer started his little investigation did Hunter employ Abbe Lowell to represent him. Hunter has still remained silent and has let Lowell do the talking. That’s how a prudent defendant behaves. Unlike DJT, Hunter has not gone on social media to condemn Comer’s witch hunt.
So now comes Comer’s subpoena calling Hunter to testify behind closed doors. Not an unusual practice for House investigative committees. But in the case of Hunter the purpose of a private interview has a more nefarious purpose. When Devin Archer, one of Hunter Biden’s business associates, testified behind doors his deposition did not go well for Comer, who didn’t even bother to attend. Archer testified that Joe Biden was never involved in his son’s business affairs and Biden never received a bribe. That was back in June. Has Archer testified in public? Nope.
Abbe Lowell has responded to Comer’s subpoena with a letter that states, in part: “Mr. Chairman, we take you up on your offer. Accordingly, our client will get right to it by agreeing to answer any pertinent and relevant question you or your colleagues might have–but he [Hunter] will appear at a public Oversight and Accountability hearing. A public proceeding would prevent selective leaks, manipulated transcripts, doctored exhibits, or one sided press statements”. After the Devon Archer closed hearing and Comer’s attempts to mischaracterize his testimony Lowell’s concerns were well founded.
Comer doesn’t like the idea of a public hearing where Hunter’s testimony would be viewed by million of Americans. No, Comer likes to operate in secret so he has rejected Lowell’s offer saying: “Hunter Biden should have opportunity to testify in a public setting at a future date”. What “future date” Comer doesn’t say. He has yet set a date for Archer to testify publicly. Would it be any different with Hunter? As Lowell told Comer: “From all the individuals you have requested depositions or interviews, all you will learn is that your accusations are baseless”.
So the gauntlet has been laid down. So what happens if Hunter defies Comer’s subpoena? I don’t think that will happen but even if it does what will happen? Jim Jordan, one of those MAGA Republicans who was involved in DJT plot to overturn the 2020 election results, refused to testify before the J6 House Committee. And what happened to him? Nothing. He is now the Chair of the House Judiciary Committee!
Dennis McIntyre: Has it even occurred to you that the reason people are often called to testify in private committee hearings may be due to the likelihood that they may be asked questions that implicate, invoke, or involve classified information?
To wit, wasn’t there some concern previously expressed about Hunter’s access to classified information, not only in emails, but also, classified information “accidentally” left at his father’s residence (for years), when Hunter was living there?
You sound just like a person with no scruples. Democrats are the new communist party. Great for persecuting Trump but don’t try that with the favorite son. Simply put, you’re a hypocrite.
“Your paymaster, Fox News,…”
Seriously, nimrod, you’re now resorting to the same tropes as Gigi and bug breath??
You’ve reached a new low, which is the one thing I didn’t think I would say about you after the “my super-hunter neighbor told me AR-15’s ruin the meat” fantasy.
You’re a very sick person, seek help!
Dude get a life wow
Sadly, this is his life.
“Hunter remained quiet like a mummy. Not a peep out of him right up to the moment of the plea agreement that failed”
Another totally ignorant, non factual statement, or another lie, by Dennis the brilliant commentor who is never wrong and doesn’t lie.
Hunter has done more than one TV interview since Weiss began his investigation, including denying that he knows whether the laptop is his lmao.
Factually ignorant or a lie? Which is it, Denny?
Archer testified that Joe Biden was never involved in his son’s business affairs and Biden never received a bribe.
That is not Archer’s testimony. You have repeated this lie often. I have called you out numerous times.
As usual, you don’t have any facts to support your opinion, so you just make it up.
Iowan
I too have repeatedly corrected those lies and he and others continue to repeat them.
Ask him who Hunter and Zlovchevsky called from Dubai, and why…you will never get a response.
Iowan2: Feel flattered I am responding to you. I usually don’t waste time with people who don’t get their facts straight. Have you read ALL of Devin Archer’s deposition–not just the part Comer cherry picked? If you had you wouldn’t be making up so much nonsense!
Do you mean cherry picked as in the Pelosi January 6 committee? Or do you mean cherry picked as in every Trump commentary ever uttered by the MSM?
Is it just me or is Dennis starting to sound like a crazy ex-girlfriend?
No I have ot read all of Devon’s deposition – and I would bet money that you have not read any of it.
As to Cheery picking – Yes, Comer drew our attention to sections of the testimony where Archer confirmed that Hunter was selling the brand. and the brand was Joe, and that What Joe did was protect clients from the the law – government.
That Hunter brought business associates – including numerous people from Burisma to meet Joe.
That is a SMALL part of Comer’s cherry picking.
I would note that some of the most damaging testimony is from Rep. Goldmans efforts to “rehabilitate” Archers testimony. Repeatedly Goldman tries to get Archer to say that Hunter provided some service to clients aside from protection from government through association with Joe. Archer repeatedly said NO, what we were selling was “the brand” and “the Brand” was the legal protection afforded by Joe Biden.
It is unwise to ask people to read the transcript – when you clearly do not know what is in the transcript and that it is damning.
I would further note that the Cherry picking is not clipping 5 sec out of the middle of a sentence to distort the meaning and take it not out of contect but even not a complete sentence.
Comer Cherry picked entire sections of Devn’s testimoney on a particular topic – everything he had to say about that topic. He included the questions, the answers.
The questions by democrats and the answers.
The entire context for that issue.
Absolutely Comer excluded the portions of Archer’s testimoney where democrats asked him if he knew whether Joe Biden was a kiddie diddler and Archer responded that to his knowledge Joe was not.
The point of question a witness is to get to the truth.
Presuming Archer told the truth, Republicans did not make every possible line of inquiry stick. As noted – they did not get proof Joe is a kiddie Diddler.
But they did establish what Hunter was selling – Joe’s influence.
And that Joe was both aware and involved.
Cherry picking is reporting “I killed Bob in self defense” as
“I killed Bob”.
It is not Reporting “I Killed Bob, but I did not kill John and steve” as
“I killed Bob”
“Feel flattered I am responding to you.”
Don’t you love the Left’s condescending personality? You’re the unwashed masses. I, of superior intelligence, will (just this once) sully my enlightened brain.
Sam,
Well said.
And that condescending attitude of their self-inflated superiority is exactly why half of the country hates them so.
Reeks of Hillary Clinton.
In point of Fact, Hunter has publicly – though not under oath said that Joe WAS involved in Hunters business affairs. The media buries that.
Oddly Hunter has on many occasions been remarkably truthful in public.
He has not however been asked under Oath.
As to the laptop I do not beleive Hunter denied it was his. He denied KNOWING if it was his. Which is true, but splitting hairs. He has not denied losing 3 different laptops – 2 abandoned at Paul Mac;s shop and one likely taken by a Russian hooker that has never surfaced.
Finally Hunter’s lawsuit against Mac admits the laptop is his.
That is not actually an issue.
Hunter Biden did not manipulate the Media ?
ROFL.
Who bought the Hunter Biden’s laptop is Russian Disinformation – hook line and sinker ?
The media. Who sold it to them – former US intelligence people who should know beetter.
Who put them up to that ?
The Biden Campaign and Hunter Biden’s lawyers.
Kudos to them – they were very successful in selling an incredibly obvious lie.
Shame on the media, you and all those who bought a lie far more transparently stupid than even the collusion delusion.
But you are actually trying to claim Hunter did ot try to manipulate this ?
Someone called you an 8 year old – that is insulting to 8 year olds.
Absolutely Hunter Behaved differently that Trump or others.
He faced radically different circumstances. He faced a DOJ and Prosecutor – that even under Trump was going to treat him with Kid Gloves. And he gamed that very successfully.
Again Kudos to him and his people for doing so.
Shame on all those like you who were so easily duped.
Greatly respect Mr. Turley, but think he misses political tactic here. Once Hunter offers to testify in public, R’s lose political and public argument about his testimony. R’s should accept offer and engage competent attorney to do all the R questioning, rather than incompetent showboating congress members.
With all the funds hunter has embezzled, I would have expected he would have put some cash aside for a good lawyer. After reading his lawyer’s response to the subpoena (WOW!), this promises to be real entertainment. Who’s bringing the popcorn?
–He did. He shoved it down his pants’ pocket for future emergencies.
…Oh wait. He didn’t have any pants on….
All the cash went up his nose.
Lowell’s letter must have been cribbed from a draft of one of Trump’s Impeachment defense lawyers, but with more bravado
The republicans lack of evidence and facts, and the fact they want nothing to do with letting those so-called facts come out to light, tells everything about their investigations. Now they can’t run to FOX and tell their versions of closed-door meetings. If they have evidence against Hunter Biden, let the public see it in a open hearing.
What is it with the stupid in liberals? You people are what’s called Stupid smart. Very politicly stupid and maybe book smart!
Nah, they’re just plain dumb. But they are indeed pure evil.
The structure of the hearings are first closed door followed with public hearings. That is the protocol, little Hunter doesn’t get to dictate the format of the investigation that he and his Gramps are the primary focus. We will all see the evidence in due time fishlips, in due time.
Fishwings – the FACTS have already come to light – and they are damning.
The question is increasingly becoming – not whether the majority of the country can be convinced by ACTUAL FACTS. But at what point die hard brain dead zealots such as you accept reality.
I suspect video of Joe Taking Cash from Zlonski would not convince you.
There is already far more damning evidence than Watergate.
I hope Hunter is very careful. I think this a landline just waiting for him. He is not in charge and trying to spin a Congressional group not of his party is foolhardy. I suspect he is playing the waiting game and is betting Congress flips. He may be right.
Keep hoping for a dem victory, Quiet Man. I expect the non-MSNBC voters have a clear understanding of Hunter’s leverage of his father power – with the President being complicit. I am frankly surprised that Hunter would agree to testify. As you may know, the general rule in criminal defense is never let your client testify in his own defense. Having said that, based upon my almost 50 year career as an attorney, I have observed that there are two kinds of criminal mentalities: (i) those who say and produce as little as possible; and (ii) those who are arrogant and believe they are smarter then their accusers. Hunter is certain in that second camp. If the repubs were to engaged an seasoned prosecutor, I would give Hunter no chance. However, for the last decade or so I have found Representatives in the Congress (of both parties) to be ordinary intellects whose fundamental instincts are political gain rather than justice and truth.
