Watch: Hunter Biden Ditches Deposition, Instead Gives Capitol Hill Speech Claiming Joe Biden 'Not Involved' In Business Hunter Biden's legal team set up a podium on Capitol Hill Wednesday, where the First Son decided to make his case in the court of public opinion, as opposed to appearing in a closed-door deposition by House investigators. "Let me state as clearly as I can," said Hunter. "My father was not financially involved ion my business. Not as a practicing lawyer. Not as a board member of Burisma. Not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman. Not in my investments at home nor abroad, and certainly not as an artist." Watch: Watch the entire speech below: Last week, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan warned Hunter that he would face contempt of Congress if he skips out on today's closed-door deposition, after his lawyer demanded it to "prevent selective leaks, manipulated transcripts, doctored exhibits, or one-sided press statements." "Contrary to the assertions in your letter, there is no ‘choice’ for Mr. Biden to make; the subpoenas compel him to appear for a deposition on December 13. If Mr. Biden does not appear for his deposition on December 13, 2023, the Committees will initiate contempt of Congress proceedings," reads the letter, issued a week after his attorney, Abbe D. Lowell suggested that Hunter should instead be allowed to testify publicly. Hunter was subpoenaed on Nov. 8 to appear for a deposition before the committee. In response, Comer said: "Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else," adding "Our lawfully issued subpoena to Hunter Biden requires him to appear for a deposition on December 13." Comer and Jordan are investigating extensive evidence that the Biden family was running an international influence peddling scheme, raking in tens of millions of dollars from foreign business partners despite no obvious product or service in exchange. House lawmakers are also seeking testimony from Hunter's uncle James Biden, as well as multiple former business associates. https://twitter.com/zerohedge/...-speech-claiming-joe https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...-speech-claiming-joe "Some things are apparent.

^^^^^^^ Yeah. Mmm Hmm. Are pigs flying? Did I miss a report that hell has frozen over?? [insert fart sound here] "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4202691/posts I had not seen this posted anywhere here yet. In another example of the insanity of this administration, they are quietly developing a settlement with groups seeking to tear down key power sources. i.e. breaching 4 dams on the Lower Snake River. That will work out well for the country in so many ways.  | |||

Yes, but of course we all know that! Heck, I'm no Rocket Surgeon, but I believe Hydro even works when the sun isn't out...You know, to like charge your electric car man! And of course, all of it's got NOTHING to do with 'saving the planet' either, never mind the existing ecosystems that will be destroyed as a result! ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !!

Think of the Salmon man!!! They were on the river before man and deserve to have their rightful swim up stream. The Salmon deserve reparations for the atrocities whitey committed against them….

Drill Here, Drill Now |
Environmentalists have a bug up their ass about hydroelectric dams changing the original ecosystem, and ignore how long the dam has been there and seemingly could care less about the current multigenerational ecosystem being destroyed. Once again, if it weren't for double standards liberals would have no standards at all...

Republicans start CONTEMPT proceedings for Hunter Biden “If Hunter is held in contempt of Congress by a committee vote, his case would be referred to the Biden-led Department of Justice. If DOJ agrees to prosecute the case, which is unlikely [no kidding], he could face up to 12 months jail time or a fine of up to $100,000 if convicted. …” DailyMail article: https://mol.im/a/12860317 Serious about crackers | |||

Not a chance his attorney would have advised him to skip out if there wasn't an assurance that there would be no prosecution for contempt. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Merrick Garland said the following: “Since my first day in office, I have promised Justice Department employees that together we would show the American people by word and deed that the department adheres to the rule of law, follows the facts and the law and pursues equal justice under the law,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “Today’s charges reflect the department’s steadfast commitment to these principles.” “As detailed in the indictment, on Sept. 23, 2021, the Select Committee issued a subpoena to Mr. Bannon,” said U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves for the District of Columbia. “The subpoena required him to appear and produce documents to the Select Committee, and to appear for a deposition before the Select Committee. According to the indictment, Mr. Bannon refused to appear to give testimony as required by subpoena and refused to produce documents in compliance with a subpoena.” That's what he said regarding Bannon's refusal to appear before the Select Committee. Let's see how tight he adheres to these principles with Hunter. In Bannon's case it was around 6 weeks from the time of his refusal to testify and produce until charges were filed. | |||

There will be a lot more discovery of information coming out of this impeachment. It may well carry over and show America how President Trump was railroaded over his Ukraine (phone call) impeachment trial when he was attempting to expose Biden's corruption in Ukraine. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

from para's link above, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., told Fox News Digital that the White House "requested" the House vote itself. "The White House sent a letter…saying that the subpoenas [Republicans] had served will not be honored and won't even be recognized without a full vote of the House. So our speaker has done exactly what I would expect he would do as a lawyer. We're going to honor that. We're going to go ahead and do a full floor vote," Emmer said. "He knows we're probably going to have to go to court to enforce these anyway, so might as well eliminate any of the objections that they have." | |||
