    Lol, you people and your faulty assumption fallacies.

    I never argued congress is free to ask nor did I argue that Biden isn't free to decline.

    I imagine to see if Sleepy Joe has used his position to an advantage for Hunter in his work

    Let's see them hold Biden in contempt. I'm not sure if the committee has the time to drag this out in court.

    So , once again, no investigation that you know of, and no EVIDENCE.

    Have someone help you up off the floor.

    What part do you not comprehend...DOJ investigations produce the evidence you seek.... it is given to the prosecutors

    "reasonable suspicion" is what kicks the DOJ investigations off..... the Hunter emails provide more than enough "reasonable suspicion", into way more than tax issues, that the DOJ would ever need......
    Let's have a look at the 150 plus "Suspicious Activity Report" (SAR) files exist within the Treasury Department filled with flagged financial transactions between Hunter Biden and foreign entities.

    How many here has had a suspicious activity report on themselves...
    The Biden family has 150 plus.... Where is the DOJ investigations into this?
    Just two of many examples

    Congress is also free to subpoena.

    Seeing as how they're the minority party on The Hill, it's not like they have time for much else.

    and people can plead the fifth. The entire exercise is bullshit. Why didn't Trump's DOJ investigate?

    While in office, probably because he was their boss.

    And BTW, the keepers of Hunter's financial records cannot plead The Fifth. It will be possible to follow the money with or without Hunter's testimony.

    Trump was the only President who attempted to expose and oppose the corrupt deep state. And we can see what the deep state did in response.

    You mean like trump did with his daughter, son in law, and some other members of his family?
    Or Mitch McConnell and his wife who was transportation secretary?

    Just another conspiracy theory MAGA promoted to rile up the members.
    trump hired this Barr character. So your claim about him being corrupt is likely true.

    So where IS the DOJ investigation into this ? And once again, where is the EVIDENCE ? Care to name a court proceeding in which EVIDENCE was presented ?
    No ?

    The existence of those within the federal government, many continuing from one administration to the next, more concerned with the perpetuation of the power of the federal government than they are with any political party or the interests of the people of the nation, isnt a conspiracy theory. Its just a two word label of that described above.

    ???? Uh yeah. Its not there. Thats the point. They want to instead try to limit the investigation to Hunters Tax and firearm violations. We know from FBI whistleblowers that Timothy Thibault prohibited them from investigating the laptop. He resigned last summer. Seems Wray has him replaced with someone else equally up to the job of burying the laptop.

    So they will now issue the subpoena. Shall he be arrested in a midnight raid and have the FBI perp walk him and then search his house for refusing a Congressional subpoena?

    BTW 14 current and former FBI agents came to this committee as whistleblowers and it is of legitimate concern for Congress in their oversight authority to investigate their claims.

    This is based on the FBI whistleblower complaints and the doings within the FBI. That is legitimate oversight and yes let's hope some legislation comes from it to prevent such corruption again.

    His statement was that the White House did not want him to release the names. OK let's find out who in the White House issued that order and charge them with obstructing Congress. NO ONE in the White House has any such legal authority. Let's not forget these are not The Big Guys records but Hunters records.

    I imagine they will hold him in contempt and then we will see if he maintains his position. And let's see if the Biden are paying his legal bills ala Watergate.

    Invention of Mike Lofgren, criticizing the "Deep State's" promotion of war in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
