    When was Trump ever even subpoenaed by Congress? I remember his ACCOUNTING FIRM being subpoenaed, but I don't recall Trump himself being subpoenaed by Congress, and that isn't remotely what I said. Please read. I DID, however, mention Jordan, and @Egoboy mentioned Don McGhan. They were hardly the only Trump cultists who ignored subpoenas. You know this. It's just sad to see you pretend you don't know this. Your side is projecting their hypocrisy onto others. So, Hunter is subject to subpoena powers of Congress but Jordan and McGhan are not? Feel free to explain. This will be cute.

    You , in that thread, said that Trump wasn't immune from a congressional subpoena. Want me to link you to it? If the sitting president isn't immune, should Hunter Biden be immune ?

    In the end, we have to decide as a nation (both trump and biden people) a standard for everyone.

    No. I said that Trump didn't have imperial power. And I don't believe he was even the one subpoenaed.

    In unrelated news, there was a post/thread last week comparing arguing with some posters akin to arguing with a balloon animal...

    Just wanted to make you aware of that...

    This private citizens has exposed the cowards who claim they need to secretly interrogate him, so they can concoct a phony account for the press afterwards, rather than expose themselves in a public, honest, out-in-the-open, pursuit of truth.

    Rat Jordan simply ran away and hid when he defied a Congressional subpoena.

    LoL

    He appeared before Congress to testify publicly.

    The Republicans refused.

    This is not the behavior of someone who wants to hide things.

    How does a closed hearing better serve the interests of the people?

    Can you answer that?

    When it comes to picking their heroes the left sure shows their true colors. Between George Floyd, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Hamas and now Hunter Biden, it's obvious where their heads are at - they worship who they're told to worship.

    Here's a question I've been wanting to ask the left but never had the chance:

    Regarding the claims that he was a consultant, what was Hunter's field of expertise where his qualifications were so strong that billionaires worldwide paid him millions, to the exclusion of everyone else on the planet with similar expertise, even though he was a disgraced military reject and crack head?

    Also, why isn't Hunter's expertise being sought out and used today? I mean, there's obviously a lot of money to be made.

    The tail doesn't wag the dog. Not matter what Comer said, he's still in charge, not Hunter Biden.

    The courts are ultimately in charge. But feel free to tell us what legislative purpose this whole fiasco is supposed to provide. You'll be the first.

    It seems to me that my questions are simple.

    Why avoid answering them?

    Let's start again.

    How does a closed hearing better serve the American people?

    Hunter Biden flushed them out.

    They became hysterical when they were given the opportunity to interrogate him publicly.

    The comedy of having no self awareness for all the world to see.
    The ignorance of the arrogant.



    "Wild scene inside House Oversight. Nancy Mace attacks Hunter Biden, who showed up at hearing.“You are the epitome of White privilege. … You have no balls. … I think Hunter Biden should be arrested right here, right now and go to jail,” she said"

    Andy Biggs scolds his colleagues to “not act like a bunch of nimrods.”

    https://x.com/mkraju/status/1745103156520894514?s=20

    — Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) tells GOP he’d vote to hold Hunter Biden in contempt if they support amendment to add names who didn’t comply with congressional subpoenas

    “Here’s the subpoena to Rep. Scott Perry … Mark Meadows … Jim Jordan … Mo Brooks … Biggs … McCarthy.”

    Also, to put that strawman to bed (something I suspect MTG would be into), Trump defied the 1/6 committee subpoena, which they wisely chose not to follow thru the courts...

    What then was the purpose of his visit to the committee if it wasn't an intent to subject himself for questions? An did it was just to be theatrical, doesn't your response seem, well, entirely dishonest and trite?

    They went berserk when presented with the opportunity to interrogate Citizen Biden in a venue where the world was watching.

    Why do they need to work in secrecy?

    Talking point refuted by the events of the day. He wasn't there to testify. He was there to showboat, and when called on it, he fled.
