Two months ago, James Comer requested that Hunter Biden to appear in a closed door deposition OR in a public hearing before an open committee. Hunter Biden chose the public option, but then Republicans reneged on that offer, and insisted that he appear in a closed door deposition where the Republicans could leak portions his responses out of context as they have in the past.

Fast forward to today. Republicans were set to hold Hunter Biden in contempt for not appearing before them when lo and behold, Hunter Biden appears before them. So there’s Nancy Mace yelling at Hunter Biden that he is not appearing before them as he appears before them. I wonder how that paradoxical argument will play on the evening news?

Hunter is getting disastrous legal advice. You think defying and disrespecting subpoenas of the United States House of Representatives is wise.

Heck! Even the classless Trumps didn't do that.

Is it any wonder that so many people these HatetheSwamp!!!!!?

Trump cronies Steve Bannon, Peter Novato, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Jim Jordan of Ohio, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama all ignored congressional subpoenas. I am probably forgetting a few.

Think it's more than a few, Curt.

There's a difference between flipping them off and not answering. He showed up as a spectator which is not "appearing" before congress. AND some of those folks you mentioned did jail time because of not appearing, which I support.

Curt!

For the gazillion time! I think that Trump is despicable. I HatetheSwamp...the whole EFFINSwamp. All of it.

Your Whataboutism is proof that the Swamp is evil. It proves, in this case, that Hunter and his Doddering Old Dad are evil.

The Swamp is a monster that offers...to fools... a good cop and a bad cop. Its genius is that it allows you to decide which is which...

...and the brainless actually pick one... or t'other.

HtS,
The hypocrisy is strong in you, padawan.

You claim that Trumps don't ignore congressional subpoenas then cry whataboutism when I point out that Trump and his accomplices have ignored congressional subpoenas.

Trump defied Jan 6 committee subpoena
Nov 14 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump did not show up for deposition testimony before the congressional committee investigating his supporters' attack on the U.S. Capitol last year, the panel said on Monday.

Sen. Graham: Don Jr. should ignore subpoena
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told Fox Business that if he were Donald Trump Jr.'s lawyer, Graham would advise him to ignore the subpoena from the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee to testify again.

OD,
The average viewer is going to see Hunter Biden being yelled at by GOP committee members for not appearing before them as he appears before them. Joe Q. Public is will be scratching his head at the apparent inconsistency of the Republicans.

"Perhaps" in your thoughts.

When did pb EFFINever claim that Trump and his gang didn't ignore congressional subpoenas?

What I said is that Hunter DEFIED and DISRESPECTED congressional subpoenas.

He pulled that stunt of appearing outside of the Capitol on the day he was subpoenaed. Now, this ridiculous dog and pony show! I think that the MAGA crowd is classless. But, no one in the Trump mob'd do this stuff. It makes the whole Swamp look ridiculous.

HtS,
Perhaps you can elucidate the distinctions between defying and disrespecting congressional subpoenas and ignoring congressional subpoenas. Also which is worse?

HtS,
Did you even watch the Andrew McCarthy video you posted? He said Hunter Biden put the Republican House Committee "on defense when they ought to be on offense" in their own "Trump orchestrated theatre". He likened Hunter's situation to Mark Meadow's who didn't appear when subpoenaed and faced no consequences by the DOJ for his non-appearance.

by HatetheSwamp on January 10, 2024 12:27 pm

I gave an example of what defying a congressional subpoena is...AND...what I meant by Hunter's disrespect.

These stunts? Ridiculous...below the dignity even of a crackhead who's a busted-by-a-court-mandated-DNA-test stripperbabydaddy...

...Or, didn't your Holy Trinity report that? Baha.

Joe Biden's America.

I did watch the video.

How is it that you don't...with apologies to isle...UNDERSTAND!!!!!?

pb's HatetheSwamp. The whole Swamp. pb thinks that Trump is despicable. He does think that your woke, white electric limousine lovin progressive Swampcult is despicable-r.

The whole Swamp, according to pb, is evil. All of it.

The Swamp's genius is that it offers a good cop and a bad cop...

...and let's you brainless, as OD says, sheeple, choose one or t'other.

You? You're brainless. You fell for the Swamp scam. You chose your good cop!

Fool.

No kidding, Curt. Hunter has got them MAGA Hats running circles around themselves!

by HatetheSwamp on January 10, 2024 1:05 pm

po,

Probably not as much as your progressive SwampMedia wants you to believe but for those of you... on both sides... who've fallen for the Swamp scam this is high drama.

The genius of the Swamp scan is that your SwampMedia is hootin and howling at t'other side.

But, trust me, the right-wing SwampMedia is as delighted as are y'nes.

That's the genius of the scam.

Man! Did PT Barnum see you comin!

It hasn't been said much (well, at all here), pedojr got up and left when MTG said she was ready, right then to start asking questions. pedojr couldn't handle it.

by HatetheSwamp on January 11, 2024 8:35 am

I don't think much of MTG, but at moments like that, she's worth her weight in gold. I'm sure that Hunter feared that she actually would call his bluff and that he'd be in a no-win situation.

Those woke, white electric limousine lovin progressive Swampcultists will never admit it, but MTG won the day. Hunter's lucky to have escaped with his a$$ intact.

by oldedude on January 11, 2024 11:33 am
I love to watch the difference from trumpster doing stupid stuff, they come out with such hatred. When pedojr does it, they think it's funny. That dichotomy is pretty funny.
