Apparently, someone convinced Hunter Biden he could bully Rep. James Comer, who heads up the House Oversight Committee investigating Biden family corruption. Let’s just say that’s not going very well.
Things started on Tuesday morning when Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell let it be known that his client would graciously comply with the congressional subpoena issued by Comer. The catch was that the president’s son only wanted to appear in a public hearing.
On Tuesday morning Hunter Biden’s attorney Abbe Lowell informed the House Oversight Committee that his client would comply with a subpoena issued earlier in the month by Chairman James Comer, but only for public testimony. The subpoena specifically requires Hunter to sit for a closed door deposition.
Public testimony is always a political risk for whatever committee is investigating. Hillary Clinton testifying on the Benghazi tragedy is probably the best example. With the cameras rolling, Clinton was able to be combative, partisan, and dismissive. In her corner were the Democrats on the committee ready to push narratives that would inevitably be clipped for the nightly newscasts.
The result was a news cycle in which the now two-time failed presidential candidate was lauded as having put the entire controversy to bed. In the end, she would go on to lose the 2016 election to Donald Trump, but it wasn’t because of her public testimony before Congress.
Lock up RASKIN !!!!
Should all be in a Real Court not Congress !!!!!! It is a JOKE !!!!
