Will the Republicans actually do something, anything, to stop the Biden family corruption?
In a bizarre turn of events outside the Capitol Building, Hunter Biden, facing a congressional subpoena, opted for a press conference instead of complying with the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. What ensued was a spectacle facilitated by Rep. Eric Swalwell, a former impeachment House manager, who seemingly played a role in Biden’s decision to violate the subpoena.
By the way…Hunter Biden is now a fugitive, and in contempt of Congress! He’s evading a lawfully issued subpoena, and crying like the sniveling, weak kneed coward that is Hunter Biden! He’s a drunk, dope head and a pervert, just like his father, Pedo Joe! James Johnson
The decision to defy the subpoena raised eyebrows, and the subsequent public appearance by Hunter, accompanied by counsel Abbe Lowell, only intensified the drama. Rather than appearing for testimony or invoking his right to remain silent, Hunter opted to hold a press conference on the Senate side of the Capitol, avoiding the closed-door deposition.
Contrary to some claims that the subpoena was unenforceable until a formal impeachment inquiry vote, legal experts argue otherwise. A formal vote is not constitutionally required to initiate an impeachment inquiry, and the Oversight Committee, along with the Judiciary Committee, issued the subpoena under various authorities, including Rule 12(g) of the Oversight Committee.

Hunter’s refusal to testify could now lead to contempt of Congress charges. This move might compel Attorney General Merrick Garland to act, mirroring his aggressive pursuit of contempt charges against figures associated with former President Donald Trump.
Furthermore, Hunter’s actions may have inadvertently implicated President Biden. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s statement suggesting that the president was aware of his son’s decision before the act of contempt raises concerns. If true, this could be a potential article of impeachment, aligning with prior concerns about special treatment and potential abuse of power.
Democrats held Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress for ignoring a subpoena from the politically motivated, sham January 6th Committee. He is now facing prison time for that decision.
Hunter Biden is defying a legitimate Congressional subpoena.
Republicans must hold Hunter in…

The fallout from Hunter’s defiance extends beyond legal consequences. President Biden, who has emphasized the importance of complying with subpoenas, may now face expectations to hold his son accountable. Comparisons to the swift action taken against Steve Bannon, who faced contempt charges, highlight the potential speed at which legal proceedings could unfold.
Hunter’s move opens up a new front for prosecution, with the possibility of an indictment within weeks if the legal process mirrors Bannon’s case. The president’s previous stance on defying subpoenas adds pressure on Garland to take action.
Hunter had a RESPONSIBILITY to show-up today.
He was involved in pay-for-play public corruption.
He is not bigger than anyone else.
He is a US citizen just like you & I.The evidence against him & his family is DAMNING.
We will now initiate contempt of Congress proceedings. https://t.co/lHo8rnZ3Hp

In the aftermath of Hunter’s spectacle, the House is likely to focus on obtaining testimony from a circle of associates connected to the Bidens. Simultaneously, the National Archives has agreed to provide House investigators with tens of thousands of emails related to the president. Despite these developments, House Democrats unanimously opposed an impeachment inquiry, a decision that contrasts with public opinion, where a significant percentage believes the president has acted illegally or unethically regarding family business dealings.
In essence, Hunter Biden’s theatrical defiance may have far-reaching consequences, not only for himself but also for his father’s presidency. As the legal drama unfolds, the term “theater of the absurd” takes on a new dimension, blending elements of reality and nightmare in the unfolding political narrative.
Major Points Discussed:
- Hunter Biden’s defiance of a congressional subpoena outside the Capitol Building created a dramatic spectacle coordinated by Rep. Eric Swalwell.
- Contrary to claims that the subpoena was unenforceable until a formal impeachment inquiry vote, legal experts argue that a vote is not constitutionally required for initiation.
- Hunter’s refusal to testify opens the possibility of contempt of Congress charges, potentially forcing Attorney General Merrick Garland to take action.
- The revelation that President Biden may have been aware of Hunter’s decision before the act of contempt raises concerns and could become a potential article of impeachment.
- The aftermath may lead to a swift legal process, mirroring the case of Steve Bannon, and puts pressure on Garland to address the defiance of subpoenas, emphasizing the president’s prior stance on the matter.

- Two-tier justice system! House Republicans now is your chance. If you do not hold Hunter in contempt of congress, you are in on the corruption. Any Democrat that doesn’t vote to hold Hunter in contempt but voted to hold Peter Navarro in contempt are in on the corruption, too– LeonR
