House Republicans ask Hunter Biden for records on his business dealings

It begins !

"In a letter to Comer, Abbe Lowell, a lawyer for Hunter Biden, said the committee "lacks a legitimate legislative purpose and oversight basis for requesting such records from Mr. Biden, who is a private citizen." Lowell indicated they would not comply with the Republicans' request but offered to meet with committee members informally "to see whether Mr. Biden has information that may inform some legitimate legislative purpose."

Gee, Lowell used an awful lot of words to say, "No, go pound sand."

LOL... Put him on subpoena and let him violate them, and have him arrested. Send the FBI with CNN in tow to document the perp walk in his boxers at 3 AM.... Fun stuff...

 

Well, Comer is going to be an expert at sandbox pounding. He speaks in circle every time he opens his mouth on this topic.

 

So much for Joe Biden's promise about being the "most transparent president". Anyone else remember that whopper of a lie?

 

I am not surprised by this. Usually what happens when a formal request by letter is given, but the party usually says no. Then the subpoena will come, and that will have, or should have, the legal basis for asking the information, which may include a legislative purpose. Then he will either have to comply or find a legal reason not to. Par for the course.

 

Why would anyone have a problem with this request for records when national security is involved?

 

Plus his dad promised transparency.

 

Oh boy, this is going to be FUN !

Is Hunter Biden a member of the administration ? Why, no he isn't !

Who said anything about national security ?

Poor , poor Republicans.
Since the Orange Stain has set the standard for replying to records requests and replying to subpoenas, now you get to live with it !

 

We all have our quirks. Anywho, some of us want to hold the man who promised transparency accountable. It's ok if you don't.

 

What National Security?
Transparency related to WH gov't business.

How's this related to gov't WH business?

 

Lowell's name rang a bell.


Hunter Biden's Lawyer Also Represented Ivanka Trump and ...
https://www.newsweek.com › ... › Joe Biden
6 days ago — Attorney Abbe Lowell has represented a number of high-profile clients including former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards.

snip:

Lowell began representing the president's son in December and has already begun to take an aggressive approach. On Wednesday, Hunter Biden's legal team called for an investigation into individuals "there is considerable reason to believe violated various federal laws in accessing, copying, manipulating, and/or disseminating Mr. Biden's personal computer data."

He cited former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, as well as computer repair shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, among a number of others.

"The actions described above more than merit a full investigation and, depending on the resulting facts, may merit prosecution under various statues," Lowell wrote. "It is not a common thing for a private person and his counsel to seek someone else being investigated, but the actions and motives here require it."

 

Feel free to speak for yourself, not for me and not for "some of us".

 

He also represented Jarod Kushner when Kush AKA El Saud Stooge appeared before Congress.

 

I'll continue the way I wish. We will continue to press Biden for transparency, as he promised. It's up to you if you want to join and hold him accountable.

 

Again on what grounds? You have some new revelations?

Or challenge it in court and have it dismissed.

Careful, such wet dreams make a mess of bedding...

 

Just out of curiosity, what possible legislative purpose? What if he too pleads the 5th to every question?

 

What national security?

 

Know anything about this?

Justice Department investigation[edit]
'As of December 2020, the United States Department of Justice's Public Integrity Section was investigating Lowell for his role in an alleged "secret lobbying scheme" and potential bribery in exchange for a pardon. Lowell was enlisted by California billionaire Sanford Diller to seek a pardon for his friend Hugh Baras.[21]

Lowell's involvement came to light in an August 28, 2020 court opinion by Judge Beryl Howell that found Lowell's communications were exempt from standard attorney-client privileges "because they potentially contained both evidence of crimes and involved nonlawyer third parties." As part of the alleged bribery-for-pardon scheme, Lowell interacted with the White House Counsel's Office, and "according to documents reviewed by the [Wall Street] Journal, Mr. Lowell and Mr. Diller discussed contacting top officials in the [Trump] administration."[21]

Hummmm, wow! No I did not know about this! Very interesting since he seems to have skated on the lobbying scheme.

 

This is some solid proof of a compromised justice system. Thanks for reminding us all of the corruption.

 

This National security..... just one example here... I've got more.... what did president Joe Biden know..... and when did he know it? Was he involved in any of Hunter's selling of influence...

Interesting article

Will the GOP be looking into why Joe gave Hunter high level phone numbers to his crack head son?????
Please notice it was sent to Hunter and Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov (which is Joe's pseudonyms on e-mails) from the office of the vice president while he was still in office.

They would rather gloat about the bidens illegally pocketing money. This sort of thing is what the left calls "victory"

 

I'd be remiss if I didn't remind my Democrat friends that 'nobody is above the law' and that would also include the president's son, who will be subpoenaed for records despite his high-priced lawyer's threats.

 

Don't know yet and I have not put much thought into it. But the Supreme Court does give wide discretion to congressional subpoenas though.

A possible legislative purpose would be more disclosure laws on Presidents and presidential candidates and their immediate family members and their business/personal dealings. With Trump and the Tax Returns, the legislative purpose was to require all Presidential Candidates to disclose their tax returns and have a more thorough financial disclosure to show any possible conflict of interest. At least that is what they wrote in the report. Whether it comes to fruition or not remains to be seen.

 

That has not happened yet. Right now, the art dealer, through his attorney, provided a reason. Whether you agree with the reason or not is really not the point. But a reason was given. Now it is up to the Chair and that committee to determine if that is a valid reason or not. If not, then they can sue the art dealer and let the courts decide. This is far different than what Bannon did who simply said "no" and did not give a reason whatsoever.
