    Citizen Biden publicly presented them with the opportunity to question him under oath in the light of day, and they couldn't handle it.

    When you are subpoenaed by Congress, you must show up how and when they want you to, not however you feel like.

    But Democrats don't think they have to obey the rules, because they have the deep state and the media on their side.

    This is definitely Trump’s House: total chaos.

    So instead of half a basket, you'll settle for nothing? Awesome negotiating there.... Clearly Trump-inspired mad "dealmaking" skilz on display...

    And this confirms everything we already knew.... Hunter is a distraction to the primary distraction of IBS......

    Have you informed Jim Jordan of his obligations?

    If those who have failed to concoct any credible evidence of wrongdoing by the President after the Cry Baby Loser (under 91 felony charges) ordered them to do so, they have contrived no excuse for hiding their mission to go after a relative from the American public.

    Yeah, sure, the right can say what they want and the left will say they talked about the weather. Been there, done that.

    Private testimony is more in depth and the members can spend more than five minutes each and that includes democrat members. If I recall correctly, when Devon Archer testified publicly libs said there were more important things to do, things like work on racism. Remember that? And Archer testified privately before publicly.

    Do you honestly believe any of the committee members were prepared to interview a surprise guest?

    This thread has more whataboutisms than usual. That's what happens when people can't defend their position.

    Bringing into focus who in the Republican party dissed their subpoenas is many things but "whataboutism" ain't one of them.

    Not your call… it is Comer’s call….deposition first public hearing second… that was his rule on day one.

    I honestly believe none of the Republican Oversight committee members would be prepared to interview a guest they've prepared 6 months for......

    But that aside, I thought of that... how long would it take to get ready? I'd say 90 minutes to round up your "investigators" and gather your materials. So gavel into a recess, and schedule a reconvene @ Noon

    Besides, not all of them have to be ready at the same time.... they come and go as needed. Get the first 2 ready and others can get ready at their own pace.

    And you think this was a good call? Get no testimony ever in lieu of a very unlikely C of C charge?

    M'Kay.... It's why MAGA shouldn't be in charge.... No ability to move from a DEEPLY dug in position....

    Comer never gave him an option...
    Comer insists the Hunter sets in on a closed deposition and then an open hearing after... anything else being reported is misinformation and propaganda..

    LoL

    When a witness asks for his testimony to be made public, it's very difficult for the opposing party to claim that he has something to hide.

    You can say what you like about Hunter Biden, but he doesn't behave like someone fleeing justice.

    Unlike Trump...., for example.

    What info does he have on influence peddling and why have you folks failed harder than a gill-less fish at providing this evidence?

    And reporters were waiting outside and asked him questions and he refused to answer any........what is he afraid of?

    Is he above the law or not? The subpoena is specifically to sit for a DEPOSITION, public testimony comes after the committee has completed ALL the depositions and their staffs have prepared as is ALWAYS the case. Hunter doesn't dictate when he will give such testimony if at all,

    Lol, adorable, but complete bullshit. He was willing to testify under the terms Comer originally offered and has made it clear, on multiple occasions, that he's open to that. YOUR SIDE is the one backpeddling and lying.

    He was originally offered the choice to testify publicly or privately. He took them up on that offer. Then they revealed that the offer was a lie. What are they afraid of? Why area you and your colleagues so terrified to have Hunter testify publicly?

    The irony here is thick enough to stir with a spoon. Please, tell us all about how you were saying the same thing about Jordan, McCarthy and the other Trump cultists who refused to testify after being subpoenaed. This will be adorable.

    WHY ON EARTH would he do such a thing when the depositions have not been taken? A five minute go around where it would all be grandstanding and empty responses. He stands to face HOURS of questioning in the depositionS he faces just as all expected witnesses to public hearings WHEN THEY OCCUR. Of course the Dems on in on this they are desperate for him NOT to be questioned under oath.

    The Biden's, and don't think for minute The Big Guy was in on this, are giving the Congress and the country the middle finger and making a mockery of what could be the biggest political scandal in the history of the country.

    Why aren't YOU and everyone on the left demanding he sit for the deposition or face some jail time?

    I could care less what he was previously offered but I bet you can't produce a signed agreement stating that. And that was then this is now with lots of new evidence that needs to be explored IN DEPOSITION, HOURS of deposition to prepare for public hearings. They, the Reps, are RIGHTFULLY afraid the 5 minute questioning only allowed in the public hearing will get nowhere, why should Hunter get special treatment is he above the Congress?

    I appreciate your confession that you are demanding "Rules of thee, but not for me." Confession accepted. Dems must sit for depositions, even if you can't think of any kind of legislative purpose, but Dems must comply with the orders they are given!

    He has a SUBPOENA which REQUIRES he testify in the proper forum at this stage a DEPOSITION. But in the meantime he is perfectly free to make a complete public statement and take any and all questions from the press. Did you miss him ducking those too as he ran out the building when it appeared one Rep might just have posed some questions to him.
