    Hell, courts held that releasing Trumps tax returns fit within legitimate congressional oversight, and now with hindsight we can see that oversight was to simply release those returns to the public in an attempt to embarrass a politician. Theyve served no other purpose. Certainly all the dirt to be had on Hunter and Joe would fit that purpose.

    Yes, you can blame Trump for picking Comey and Barr.

    Did you ever think Trump is part of the deep state? Why would someone who is hell bent on fighting the deep state choose an AG who is an establishment official?

    The "claim" of the poster to whom you responded:
    Is a Complete (and Utterly Laughable) MISCHARACTERIZATION of the Art Dealer's Attorney's Letter..

    Bullshit.
    The legitimate purpose was to ensure that Trump had no financial obligations to foreign entities. Who really gives a **** about Hunter?

    Yes, you can fault Trump for picking from Washington establishment. Thats a big problem for any outsider going into DC politics. You certainly need insider knowledge to manage a nation but need to find those who dont serve the perpetuation of the power of the Federal government.

    And? Theyve been investigating Trumps foreign financial dealings from before he was president with the ability of the CIA and FBI to do it. And now they have his tax returns and ...... we have nothing. Oh but lookey over here, CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS! Im sure the Mueller investigation had all of his tax returns since 2017, if not the FBI or CIA in 2016.

    And because Hunter has an abundance of financial ties to foreign entities. And not financial ties relating to operating a legitimate family business in operation for decades before any involvement in politics. But instead, business focuses entirely on leveraging your families involvement in US government. And more importantly being paid by foreign entities to influence the US government. Specifically

    The scope of work should also include organization of a visit of a number of widely recognized and influential current and/or former US policy-makers to Ukraine in November aiming to conduct meetings with and bring positive signal/message and support on Nikolay's issue to the Ukrainian top officials above with the ultimate purpose to close down for any cases/pursuits against Nikolay in Ukraine.

    No Concrete PROOF (whatsoever) that Joe had anything to do with Hunter's Foreign Business Dealings...

    I’ve read that email. Hunter was ccd on it. It wasn’t to him or from him. It looks like a discussion to hire a lobbyist. Not that he would do that work, but that Burisma would hire someone to do it.

    Of course

    Hunter Biden’s art dealer refuses to give buyer names to House committee


    "....The Post has seen the letter from attorney William Pittard, who represents Berges and Georges Berges Galleries LLC. It notes that providing information about the buyers would violate White House rules that were set up specifically to deal with the sale of Hunter Biden’s artwork in 2021."

    You missed it?

    Time to send in the FBI with a pre-dawn raid and they can tell Fox News about it so they can have cameras there.

    What goes around comes around.

    Sure

    "....The Post has seen the letter from attorney William Pittard, who represents Berges and Georges Berges Galleries LLC. It notes that providing information about the buyers would violate White House rules that were set up specifically to deal with the sale of Hunter Biden’s artwork in 2021."

    Since when can White House "rules" to hide who were the buyers from the public override a Congressional request and then subpoena?

    The senseless MAGA committee hearings are crashing and burning on their own rhetoric.

    Yes what about it.

    Since when do White House rules set up to hide from the public who was giving the Biden influence peddling syndicate money through sham art deals supercede Congress oversight subpoena's?

    From the article:
    “In light of these considerations, providing the documents and information requested in
    your letter seemingly would defeat the efforts of Mr. Biden and the White House to avoid the ‘serious ethics concerns’ that you raise,” writes Pittard. “Mr. Bergès hopes that you and Mr. Biden can resolve that tension.”
    The letter is in response to a Jan. 25 request from the committee.
    Berges’ attorney also points to a 2020 US Supreme Court decision that effectively prevented three congressional committees — including the Committee on Oversight and Accountability — from seeking “documents revealing ‘transactions by the president and his family,'” the letter says.
    That decision referred to former President Donald Trump and his children, and found that subpoenas by three congressional committees, seeking information about family finances, were too broad in scope. In the same decision, the high court ruled that a New York grand jury could subpoena the former president’s tax returns and financial records."
    So the decline is not because of some nefarious reason you imagine or want but for well founded reasons with precedents.
