Hunter Biden Just Surrendered in Contempt Battle Against Republicans
Quote:Hunter Biden has surrendered, folded, or whatever other descriptor one would prefer. After originally ignoring a lawful subpoena in early December and showing up at a contempt hearing to throw a fit in early January, the president's son is now requesting House Republicans reissue a subpoena.
That comes after Hunter Biden refused to give a closed-door deposition, which is normal for congressional investigations. Instead, he showed up at the Capitol Building to give a disastrous presser in which he proclaimed he would only speak at a public hearing. Stephen Neukam of The Messenger says there's been a change of heart.
What was the point of all this? RedState's Susie Moore pondered that question on Friday, and we have somewhat of an answer. Namely, there was no point to any of this. Hunter Biden is just a really stupid person who thought he could bully Congress because his dad is the president.
He's lived his entire live with immense political privilege, receiving protection every step of the way, no matter how bad his transgressions were. I suppose he figured why not play the role of fortunate son again. At some point, it must have clicked with Hunter Biden and his legal team that they didn't have a way to come out ahead by ignoring the subpoena.
Some are asking why another subpoena needs to be issued. Not knowing the exact specifics, I would assume that because the dates on the original have already passed, it would be necessary to issue one with a new scheduled deposition.
In the end, it looks like Republicans won this round. I still think they should have immediately held Hunter Biden in contempt instead of playing this game of cat and mouse for over a month, but it is what it is. Asking the GOP to be decisive is like asking a sloth to hurry up.

Hunter took a gaffe and a misstatement from Comer and squeezed it for all it was worth. And then some when it went down the road of contempt.
In all honesty, Hunter *should* be referred for contempt. But then again, so should every Congressman and Trump WH official the Dems talked about during the Hunter 'sit down' the other day.
Too bad Comer when he talked about it publicly before the issuance of the closed subpoena offered the public questioning as an option. Low hanging political fruit offered, and Hunter squeezed it for all its worth.

Look, it's important that any charges brought against him happen before Old Foggy leaves the White House. Otherwise there's no one who can pardon his Privileged S. Trump or any other president not name Old Foggy would not do it so considering how Old Foggy is doing so badly in the polls even by Demonic Party standards, they have to go this route. So what if they find him guilty of anything, it's not like his life hasn't been shown to the world, what does he have to lose? The only thing I see him losing would be his freedom and Old Foggy could remedy that.
They are not afraid of anything, doofus. They are simply NOT going to reset the process already in place.
What Biden* and the DOJ is afraid of is that the contempt motion will pass, and they will either have to arrest him and prosecute him, or they will ignore congress' referral. If they ignore the referral after prosecuting Bannon and others (who had executive privilege), it will look horrible to everyone who doesnt have their lips wrapped around Bidens* junk. (ie, you)

Bannon? Executive privilege? Lolz.
Maybe you should actually try and understand the concept of executive privilege, and to whom it applies before myna birding your talking points. Double lolz.
