    You really don't know that. The only two possibilities of "white house rules" are those two broad options. But an NDA will prevent the subpoena being enforced if the committee will decide to go through with it. And yes, it was the courts. Trump challenged and lost. He threw various arguments as to why he shouldn't comply including using "executive privilege after the fact he is no longer a US president." And as I recall, you said the Courts should not decide or will rule in his favor, didn't you. And now, a complete 180 on the basis of politics. Go figure,.

    On a more serious note, the Supreme Court has ruled that congressional suibpeonas are not limitless and has placed some limits on them. Namely executive privilege and a few others in the link below.

    Whether or not the court rules in Hunter Biden's favor remains to be seen. What also remains to be seen is the giving of the records when the court decides. And that is a ways off, like a year at the least. The second link is more comprehensive on what your rights and privledges.


    You have no clue who the big guy is. No one does. You and others have speculated it is Joe Biden, but speculation is not facts. Never will be.

    Glenn Greenwald marvels as MSM, political establishment hurl each other under bus over Crackhead Hunter Biden

    'The pre-election lie -- and that's what it was -- that the NY Post's reporting was based on "Russian disinformation" was first disseminated by @Politico and @NatashaBertrand, who was rewarded for her lying by being hired by CNN. James Crapper now says they *deliberately* lied'

    Yeah, well, being called a liar by Crapper is like being called dirty by a turd.

    [​IMG]

    He's such a liar.

    'Because of the House hearing investigating this, the political and media establishment can't ignore what they did any longer. So now they're turning on each other, blaming one another for the disinformation campaign:'

    'The CIA and other intelligence operative scumbags have a point here, one I've stressed from the start. In their letter to manipulate the election, they said they didn't *know* it was Russian disinformation, just thought it was. It was the media that transformed it into fact'

    And then Social Media used that fabricated 'fact' to justify burying it to rig the election, and Balloon Joe used the same letter from the "Intelligence" Community to attribute the laptop to a Russian disinformation campaign, during a presidential debate.

    [​IMG]

    'After James Crapper, as Obama's DNI, got caught red-handed lying to the Senate about NSA domestic spying, CNN hired him. Crapper is accusing CNN's @NatashaBertrand of having *deliberately* lied about his letter.'

    'Crapper himself was repeatedly put on CNN to spread the lie that the materials on the Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation." But even for CNN: having one employee accuse a "reporter," Bertrand, of "deliberately" lying is something they can't ignore.'

    '“To me, this is just classic textbook Soviet Russian tradecraft at work,” former Director of National Intelligence James Crapper says as authorities are investigating if recently published emails are tied to a Russian disinformation effort targeting Biden.' https://cnn.it/3jeSuOB

    '2 weeks before Americans went to vote for President, the CIA and others in the intelligence community concocted an outright lie that most major media corporations spread. Everyone now knows it's a lie, but not one media outlet has retracted it.'

    [​IMG]

    Balloon Biden is an illegitimate president after a rigged election. Hopefully in 2024 we'll have a legitimate election followed by a legitimate president.

    What did daddy Joe know and when did he know it? Where is the DOJ investigations into this? Once again the GOP House has to clean up the mess the Democrats and corrupt DOJ have left behind.... Thank you Mr Comer for taking the time to look into this corruption...

    How many private citizens on here text their daughter about China arresting CIA operatives and oil deals with Pootin and China?
    looks like private citizen Hunter did...

    assassination of the richest man in the world.... YIKES

    and yes... daddy was running for resident....

    Of course you don't. Everything they state is based upon GOVRERNMENT records extracted from the government in FOIA requests.

    I showed you why.
    They made some claim from your link. But never said if they released any photos or whatever it was they claimed to have in their possession.
    And you didn't bother to show us where they actually proved they had anything.
    So, at this point, they still hold true to their colors of exaggeration. If not outright lying.

    They stated something. They didn't prove anything. There's a big difference.

    Not by any stretch it is merely an agreement within the WH about a private matter.

    And Hunter has no standing at all.

    As I have pointed out repeatedly and would not apply here which is a matter of a whistleblower and proper oversight.



    Of course we do your denials notwithstanding.

    Beholding The Beholders: Hunter Biden's Art Dealer Defies The House Over Business Records
    [​IMG]
    Bergès reportedly refused last week to provide the House Oversight Committee with the identities of the buyers of Biden high-priced art work...

    'Several rooms in the United States Capitol have been used at various times for the detention of offenders. They were called guard rooms.'

    February 13, 1862: "After considerable discussion the House adopted a resolution directing the confinement of Mr. [Henry] Wikof until he shall purge himself of contempt or is discharged by the House. The accused was then placed in the guard room under the Capitol." Wickof reportedly had refused to "give a satisfactory answer to the charge preferred against him"; no further information about Wikof, his alleged offense or the disposition of the matter has been found in the records of the Architect of the Capitol.'

    So, lock his ass up in the Capitol, until he produces the requested information?

    'The 1877 confinement of two Louisiana election officials: "It is a little room in the basement of the Capitol, with but two windows, opening upon no sunlight, but upon a narrow confined court into which no gleam of sunshine can ever enter. A room so dark that it is necessary to keep the gas burning all day; a room that stinks, that smells like the den of some foul reptile, a room where thieves arrested around the Capitol are kept .In 1889 a recusant witness before a Senate committee was taken into custody by the Senate Sergeant at Arms, but the area of his detention is not identified.'

    The Dark Biden Rises: The Reinvention Of Hunter In A New And Menacing Image
    [​IMG]
    'Yesterday, the deadline to turn over evidence passed for Hunter, his uncle, and one of his associates...'

    'Biden is threatening lawsuits and reportedly preparing a scorched Earth campaign against political and media critics. He is even in court trying to prevent his own daughter from using his name.
    '

    BIDEN THE MOST CROOKED PRESIDENT SINCE LBJ

    'Despite ample evidence that he and his family may have engaged in one of the largest influence peddling operations in history, the media has struggled to find a redeeming image for someone who has committed his life to a toxic mix of nepotism, narcissism, and narcotics.'

    'Biden called for groups to be stripped of tax exemptions, suggested a host of possible defamation actions, and even demanded criminal investigations against critics.'

    LAWYERS FLAILING:
    'Lowell categorically refused to turn over a single document to House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), saying there was no “legitimate legislative purpose” for the investigation into Hunter.'

    'Congress clearly has a legitimate interest in investigating whether millions of dollars from foreign interests, including some connected to foreign intelligence, were funneled to the Biden family to influence President Biden.'

    TREASON AND BRIBERY ARE CRIMES SPECIFIED IN THE IMPEACHMENT CLAUSE

    “Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when u [sic] are face to face, I know u [sic] know that but they are paranoid.”

    'Emails used code names for Joe Biden such as “Celtic” or “the big guy.” In one, “the big guy” is mentioned as possibly receiving a 10% cut on a deal with a Chinese energy firm. There are also references to Hunter paying off his father’s bills from shared accounts. Code names, cuts for “the big guy” and millions in mysterious foreign transactions are ample reasons for congressional inquiry.'

    The Celtic? I thought he said that he had a little Italian in him. ;)

    Reference for The Big Guy's ethnic joke that backfired on him.
    Joe Biden roasted for busting out ‘old school, anti-Irish’ slur, claiming he’s Italian: ‘He needs help’ | Fox News

    That is his opinion, not facts. Anyone can claim who the big guy is. We have had plenty of people who said who in the past that they knew who deep throat is besides Berstein and Woodward. It ranged from various people within the government including some very important people within the White House. But it turned out it was Marc Felt, a person that most speculators did not have on the radar.

    The point is that it was Marc Felt himself who verified the claim through his attorney and not anyone else. And it will be that person in this case sometime in the legal dealings.

    A form of nondisclosure agreement is a private matter Blues.

    Again, that is for the courts to decide at this point, not political hacks like you. My argument is he made the claim, now the legal process will make the determination one way or the other.

    See point above

    My argument is the courts will decide the matter one way or the other. I have argued the possibility in which the courts may favor Biden in this particular facts and circumstance. But it is also known that the courts have granted some limitations. You have argued there are no limitations and you are not following the law at all here, are you.

    So, when Hunter Biden's business partner(s) are sworn in by the House Oversight Committee or the House Judiciary Committee, and declares that the Big Guy is no other than Joe Biden, will you then agree that it's a fact? Or just an opinion?

    Quoting from Wikepedia:

    The straw man fallacy occurs in the following pattern of argument:

    1. Person 1 asserts proposition X.
    2. Person 2 argues against a superficially similar proposition Y, falsely, as if an argument against Y were an argument against X.

    And do you know what else Melissa Carone said? How funny you don't want to show the entire testimony.

    https://videos.dailymail.co.uk/vide...992293468/640x360_MP4_1448532162992293468.mp4

    ""Okay. So a printer, when the papers come out of the printer, that’s where… On these tabulators, that’s where you would feed the 50 in. Now, on top of the printer, so where the scanner would be if it’s like a foreign one, that’s where these ballots would come out after they had been tabulated. So if one jammed, number 25 jammed, then it would put up an error, “Discard, re-scan. Ballot number 25 has an issue.” So they would then take all the ballots that had been tabulated from the top that are now on the top, the 24 that are on the top, the ones that are on the bottom, they haven’t been tabulated yet, and number 25, the problem ballot. They would put number 25 on top. They would discard the entire batch, and then they would re-scan it. Instead of discarding it, they would re-scan them, counting those 24 again. Now, let’s say it was, out of 50, number 48 that jammed. That’s 47 being counted again. You know what I’m saying? So does that clarify that?Okay.""

    Thank you for that unrelated, off-topic PSA.

    Would you care to comment on the topic at hand ?

    YES it has no force IN LAW to prevent a subpoena.

    Again
    That is utter nonsense and private NDA agreement does NOT supersede a subpoena.

    He had NO standing in the WH to claim executive privilege especially when it comes to PRIVATE matters or supposed to be private. On what basis would he have such a claim.

    And define "political hack". Were you attempting to engage in the invective?

    Which failed.


    You gotten the law wrong so far so do not begin to believe you can question my knowledge of it. I am the one who for years HAS stated the limitations to congressional subpoena's not you, you have argued against such limitations as in the Jan 6 committee. It has been pointed out to you that this is based on PROPER oversight by the congressional committee and based on whistleblowers coming forth to them about improper actions at the FBI and DOJ.

    What do these art sales have to do with the White House? Hunter Biden, even as a person with some large flaws, is not an elected official and not part of the administration.
