    I'm not sure if they even believe half the things they say...like Biden is obviously corrupt and taking money from foreign interests but they are okay with it because Harris is worse lol.

    It just goes to show this entire impeachment inquiry was never about rule of law, but only for election purposes aka weaponizing the government.

    They asked all that in the closed door testimony.

    Of all people in the US, the Left understands this. We believe the same of Trump, yet his following are cheering on the delays so that the American public don't know the facts and can't decide before election day.

    This particular brainfart originated from something maga claimed they discovered on Hunter's laptop after it had been uploaded with fake materials by maga and their foreign accomplices.
    It's as fake as the entire maga apoplexy about Hunter and his corrupt and demented daddy.
    All to make trump look more palatable by comparison.

    So you have totally missed the parts about his father, "The Big Guy", the PRESIDENT who IS running for office and his involvements? The only humiliation being done is to those who keep defending them and denying the facts. He's running scared now and knows how bad he would look sitting at that table with the other witnesses detailing the events and him repeatedly taking the 5th.

    First witnesses called to testify in court or before a congressional committee have no standing to demand other people also testify else they will not who the heck does this guy think he is?

    That being said.

    What evidentiary testimony concerning the Biden family influence peddling could Kushner add to the proceedings?

    Very true.
    Why isn't maga demanding speedier trials for all of trump's crimes to give the American public the facts and let them decide if trump should be in jail or not?
    Innocent people are eager for their day in court.

    It was admitted to in his testimony and confirmed by others. But if I am incorrect feel free to tell us all who is The Big Guy then?

    Hell, why isn't Trump demanding speedier trials? I would love for someone to explain that to me, if he is innocent.

    WRONG!
    Uncorroborated "Testimony"...:bored:
    Hunter NEVER "admitted to it" in his testimony...
    Where does that bullshit even come from?
    Hunter Biden addresses ‘Big Guy’ conspiracy and addiction as he testifies on Capitol Hill
    Everybody should pay very close attention:
    1) They continued: “With regard to James Gilliar’s 2017 ‘10 held by H for the big guy?’ email, Hunter explained that Gilliar was out of his mind for even suggesting Joe Biden get involved in their joint venture.
    ^In other words, "The Big Guy" BS is complete fantasy.
    Hunter NEVER said the Joe was the "Big Guy".

    ^(Which proves that any story floating around to the contrary is Complete BS).

    Next...:bored:

    Speaking of delays, Hunter Biden's trial is set to begin in June. How many years did his case sit on the back burner because of delays?

    Not only he but the other witnesses

    So if I and they are wrong then tell me who exactly is "The Big Guy"? Who did Hunter say was "The Big Guy" in his deposition? Did he outright say it was NOT Joey?

    The House GOP already asked that question in their closed door session with him. Why do you want our tax dollars wasted for political theater?

    Kushner gets to give his expert testimony on how to do business deals with foreign countries. If he has nothing to hide, call him to the stand.

    Impeachment was never the goal.

    The goal was to put on a clown show and keep the trope alive in right wing media.

    Trump has been trying to use this Hunter Biden nonsense ever since the Russians fed the idea to Guliani back in 2019.

    He gave them what they said they really wanted.

    Now, they want to put on a show, and the star dropped out of the cast.

    Jordan can’t wave his arms around and grandstand if he doesn’t have someone to browbeat.

    It was Hunter who wanted a public show. Now Jordan is offering it to him and Hunter declined. The next time Jordan will most likely subpoena Hunter. There is no reason why Hunter cannot tell the committee who the big guy is unless it is his daddy. It's not about Hunter, it's about Hunter's daddy who is suspected to be the big guy Hunter talked about in an email.

    Why do you think the purpose of this committee is about how to do business with foreign countries? What is it the committee does know about merely doing business with foreign countries? And again what does it have to do with the Biden family influence peddling?

    There are lots of threads that were created a while back when the left tried to claim there was something nefarious about Kushner's post administration business. of course nothing became of it since it is all above board and no evidence or anything questionable could be cited. And NOTHING he even may have done mitigates anything the Biden's have done but feel free to continue any discussions about Kushner there and I will respond there.

    How did House Reps delay anything to do with the Hunter investigation, and the judge tossed the outrageous indefensible sweetheart plea that was an attempt to not even have a full investigation and prosecution let alone delay it. Why did the SP bring these charges then?

    The committee does not know. Hence, why have they not impeached Biden or recommended criminal charges to Hunter or whatever the purpose of this investigation is. If the assumption is that Hunter is bad for doing business with foreign countries, then I would like to see the benchmark republicans use in assessing Kushner's business investments overseas to establish illicit conduct. So far, all righties have is that Joe loaned his son some money and Hunter paid him back, Hunter got a loan from a friend who isn't making him pay it back right away. Captivating stuff.

    House democrats asked Kushner for documents and he refused. Comer is letting him ignore those requests.

    Does not know what? There is an ONGOING IMPEACHMENT have you not missed it. Testimony is being given and now Hunter is trying to obstruct it by refusing the testify in public as HE WAS DEMANDING TO DO. The facts are the Biden family was getting paid TENS OF MILLIONS by our worst foreign adversaries and they have provided no explanation why and the mounting evidence is they were selling access and influence at the highest levels of our government to those worst foreign adversaries.

    You tell me what was the legitimate business in which they were engaged and show me the records.

    The CAREER TOP INVESTIGATORS for the IRS and DOJ already testified to those benchmarks and how they were moving to prosecute when they were called off. And the Bidens have produce NO RECORDS to show these were loans.

    No Hunter's attorney violate legal ethical rules by throwing his former client under the bus in a bogus attempt to somehow claim a "well if that person did it then my client can do it" nonsense.

    Hunter Biden’s lead counsel likely violated legal ethics rules this week by throwing Jared Kushner, a former client, under the bus.

    ..“If you are serious about this oversight purpose in a legitimate and bipartisan fashion,” Lowell added, “you would hold a hearing with relatives of former President Trump about whom you indicated you ‘would ask.'”


    If House Republicans held a public hearing with Kushner, Lowell wrote, “Mr. Biden would consider an invitation for that event.”

    Lowell’s legal team was apparently even more explicit in its communication with ABC News, which reported: “A source with Hunter Biden’s legal team said that if lawmakers invited Jared Kushner, the former president’s son-in-law who was a senior White House adviser to Trump, Hunter Biden would oblige.”

    Lowell previously represented Kushner and Ivanka Trump during the Trump administration. Lowell did not respond to The Federalist’s repeated inquiries about whether he consulted Kushner before using a prominent former client as a foil to protect Hunter Biden. A source close to Kushner said Trump’s son-in-law would never in a million years have consented to this.

    Jason Foster, the founder and chair of the whistleblower protection group Empower Oversight, told The Federalist that Lowell’s decision to undermine a former client raises ethical concerns.


    “Attorneys have a duty of loyalty to former clients, but Abbe Lowell offered to sacrifice Mr. Kushner’s interests against being dragged into this controversy merely to help his current client, Hunter Biden, make a cheap PR point,” Foster said. “One wonders what Mr. Kushner thinks of Mr. Lowell offering him up, and what would really happen if the committee called his bluff and invited Mr. Kushner to testify. It’s unlikely that would actually change Hunter Biden’s position though, because this is just more silly theatrics — a bad habit to which Mr. Lowell seems to have developed a serious addiction.”
    https://thefederalist.com/2024/03/1...ing-former-client-jared-kushner-for-cheap-pr/

    I would suggest Mr. Lowell better keep his trap shut why his attempted dodges and diversions else find himself in serious legal troubles. There are plenty of threads concerning Kushner and his business all of which failed to show and reasonable suspicion of any nefarious acts. The company for which he works MANAGES their clients money, they aren't getting TENS OF MILLIONS laundered into private bank accounts. Go take it up there it offers no defense for the Biden family.
