    All one would have to do is read what you said I argued but in reality, didn't, and where you took liberty deliberately misrepresenting my position to make it easier for you to defeat. As I've already demonstrated above.

    That's what this thread is about. Your chronic nuh-uhs and defense of Hunter Biden aside, people have the liberty to argue that he has broken the law.

    What I said literally is that it is too early to state whether he is in contempt of Congress or not. How hard is that for you to understand? that has been my premise the entire time. Your premise already has Hunter Biden found guilty and ready for the guillotine, figuratively speaking.


    I have not defended Hunter. Part of my argument is that Hunter Biden is allowed full access to the court systems if or when it becomse necessary and he may be compelled to provide the evidence. Just like Trump used the courts before he was compelled to provide his tax returns. Understand now? Or is that too difficult for you?

    WTF does that have to do with your assertion that H Biden was a paid lobbyist?

    He was certainly paid as a director of Burisma, and seems to have been involved in hiring external paid lobbyists, but there is zero indication that his scope as a director included being a lobbyist himself.

    That's not what you've been saying though. If that's all you've been saying, you wouldn't partake in telling many what they've got all wrong.

    There you go again, constructing the strawman fallacy. (bolded) I've never written that Hunter Biden has already been found guilty and ready for the guillotine, figuratively or literally. The investigation is a process and yes, the Republicans do have the right ask for records, they believe will confirm what has already been found on his laptop. Biden fails to deliver those records, he is subject to being subpoenaed. He doesn't deliver, he is then subject to being charged with contempt. The thread is about an investigation, a process in determining whether Hunter Biden peddled and sold his father's influence for profit and what his father knew and when he knew it. When you're done with the condescension, join in with the rest of us.

    Even with a subpoena what questions can be asked that the sellers cannot simply refuse to answer?
    “To whom did you sell this ‘work-product’ of Mister Hunter Biden?”

    Take a hike.

    Unless the transaction is somehow “illegal” there’s noting that can be done to compel it be answered.
    If there isn’t “probable-cause” even the august members of the US House of Representatives aren’t allowed to “go fishing”.

    Buyers are not known to avoid the appearance of “influence peddling”; revealing them could cause the damage that the Congress is apparently worried about!
    Another “own goal” by the GOP.

    For once, you’re right. No investigation, no EVIDENCE presented in a court case.
    All your conspiracy theories can go in the forum devoted to that topic.
    Meanwhile, you have nothing. That’s the point.

    That is EXACTLY what I have been saying. I have stated it three times to you and twice you dismissed it and thought it was something totally different. From the very first post in this thread and others, I have stated and argued that it is way too early to detemine if he is in contempt or not. I have opined that it may be some sort of the NDA or Executive Privilege basis in the "white house rules" that were used by the attorney. And I have said that the committee needs to determine if they accept that or not. If they do not, then lawsuits will be coming to try to prevent Hunter from giving the information.

    Before the committees it was did you miss it and what witness testimony is not oral and SO WHAT? They were part of the investigations and know first hand what was going on.

    So you are calling them all liars right?

    Why would I have one? The fact remains the phony White House "ethics" agreement would do nothing to stop someone from buying a painting in return for a quid pro qou expecting something in return because it did not prevent the BUYERS from telling the Bidens who they were it only prevent the dealer from telling them.

    Yea I remember you saying that when it was Trump..............:roflol: A GOVERNMENT SUBPOENA is NOT subject to a private NDA between to private parties. And Hunter has no executive privilege. Yes we know the valid reasons as has been explained to you.

    They aren't asking for the The Big Guy's records.

    I am sure they are trying to drag it out until long after Biden is out of office.

    No one claims it has been presented in court, so not sure of your point.

    Its primarily Hunter's emails, not some conspiracy theory.

    I don't believe judical watch. An extremely biased source.

    From your link:
    ...
    Judicial Watch previously reported on the 2013 meeting. Senator McCain then issued a statement decrying “false reports claiming that his office was somehow involved in IRS targeting of conservative groups.” The IRS previously blacked out the notes of the meeting but Judicial Watch found the notes among subsequent documents released by the agency.
    ...
    Did they ever release those notes? For credibility reasons.

    This is about Joe Biden, not about Hunter... let the legislative branch representative doing the investigation tell you himself... ff to 0:28
    Congress used to have access to the 152 "suspicious activity reports" of Hunter until Joe Biden changed the rules to cover them up...

    GOP House legislative branch would not have to if the DOJ executive branch had already done the job they are responsible for...

    It would be a better question to ask..... why has the DOJ, after having the laptop through 2 elections, a presidential debate, and a fake impeachment, ""have already gotten records from Hunter Bidens private business ?""

    There is more than enough "reasonable suspicion" on Hunter's laptop for the DOJ executive branch to have already started their investigation after 2 years.... "reasonable suspicion" is the trigger for any executive branch investigation... their investigation then produce the evidence and proof that is brought before the prosecutors....
