Due to this latest indictment, I expect Comer and Jordan's attempt to subpoena Hunter will result only in them learning which amendment is Hunter's favorite:

I like after how Kilmeade explains the payment, Marshall goes on like as if anything he says at that point makes any sense. It's a truck payment. That's why it's a weird number like $1380 that Hunter is paying every month. Oh, and they have documentation. These people :crazy:

KILMEADE: He said he was paying him back for a truck

MARSHALL: ...

KILMEADE: I'm just telling you what he said

Alright that's it. Henceforth, I will refer to Comer as Comer Pyle.

If he testifies publicly, he'll answer questions. If he testifies behind closed doors, he'll take the 5th to all republican questions. Up to the pubs.

Hunter Biden in D.C. ? Now Comer (why does the name Gohmert appear in my mind :think: ) can start a new rumor, that Hunter is transfering $$$ all by the power of his mind to Joe, and that makes it corruption at highest levels :twisted:

Neither: CNN: GOP investigators say they will ‘initiate contempt’ proceedings after Hunter Biden flouts subpoena for closed-door testimony:
The Republican chairman behind the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden said Wednesday they will start contempt of Congress proceedings against Hunter Biden for not participating in his closed-door deposition on Wednesday, after he demanded to testify publicly.

“Hunter Biden today defied lawful subpoenas and we will now initiate contempt of Congress proceedings,” said House Oversight Chair James Comer and House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan in a joint statement. “We will not provide special treatment because his last name is Biden.”

I sure hope so. I want to know why he chose not to appear in private and just take the fifth. Okay, I can figure that one out--it would make him look bad. But why didn't he file something to contest the subpoena? Or can he still do that?

I guess they can initiate anything they want but it doesn't mean the DOJ will do anything about it, right? HB was very clear he'd be happy to testify publicly.

Now if trump should win next year, all bets are off.

Actually, IMO, the trap was set by the pubs against themselves...

“Yet here I am, Mr. Chairman, taking up your offer when you said we can bring these people in for depositions or committee hearings, whichever they choose,” he concluded. “Well, I’ve chosen I am here to testify at a public hearing today to answer any of the committee’s legitimate questions. Republicans do not want an open process where Americans can see their tactics, expose their baseless inquiry, or hear what I have to say. What are they afraid of? I’m here. I’m ready.”

I'm sure the 'Justice' Department is working hard to make sure this won't happen.

Hunter Biden is facing up to 17 years in prison if he is convicted of the charges brought forward last week.

According to the Daily Mail, Hunter has told friends he may have to "flee" the U.S. if Trump is elected.

"Hunter Biden has told friends that he might have to flee the country if Donald Trump is reelected, after already enduring months of deeply personal political attacks and mounting legal woes," they reported.

Hunter Biden may be justifying these thoughts by thinking that Republicans are trying to "kill" him.

"What they’re trying to do is they're trying to kill me, knowing that it will be a pain greater than my father could be able to handle... and so therefore destroying a presidency in that way," he said during a podcast last week.

FIRST ON FOX: The former assistant U.S. attorney who allegedly worked to ‘limit’ questions about Joe Biden denied that politics played a role in the Hunter Biden investigation during her interview at the House Judiciary Committee, according to a transcript reviewed by Fox News Digital.

Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf, though, testified that she would "not be permitted to answer most of the questions you have for me" due to the ongoing nature of the federal criminal investigation into the first son
