    Is this another delay tactic. Is Congress going to get played again. He’s making you look weak. We'll see "For now, the House of Representatives will move forward with holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress until such time that Hunter Biden confirms a date to appear for a private deposition in accordance with his legal obligation" Hunter Biden abruptly reversed his defiance of House Republican impeachment investigators, offering to testify before them privately after insisting he would only answer their questions in public.

    Chairman James Comer and Chairman Jim Jordan issued the following statement after Hunter Biden’s attorney stated Hunter Biden would appear for a deposition if issued a new subpoena:

    “House Republicans have been resolute in demanding Hunter Biden sit for a deposition in the ongoing impeachment inquiry. While we are heartened that Hunter Biden now says he will comply with a subpoena, make no mistake: Hunter Biden has already defied two valid, lawful subpoenas. Instead of appearing for his deposition on December 13, 2023, Hunter Biden appeared on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol where he made a public statement without taking any questions. Then this week at the Oversight Committee’s markup of his contempt resolution, Hunter Biden pulled another stunt as he continued to defy duly issued subpoenas. “For now, the House of Representatives will move forward with holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress until such time that Hunter Biden confirms a date to appear for a private deposition in accordance with his legal obligation. While we will work to schedule a deposition date, we will not tolerate any additional stunts or delay from Hunter Biden. The American people will not tolerate, and the House will not provide, special treatment for the Biden family.”

    It's stupid theatrics. President Biden can simply pardon his son as Trump did for all his cronies who defied Congress.
    Why shouldn't Hunter ignore subpoenas from the very guys who ignored subpoenas of their own?
    Congress has become a circus. Political parties should be outlawed.

    Excellent... let Joe Biden pardon his boy... Americans are more aware of the Biden family corruption everyday... I hope he is stupid enough to pull it off before the election. Trump ratings would hit the roof.

    Comer's committee is lawful and rules and is legit...
    No one was required to sit before the illegit and unconstitutional J6 committee...

    Congress became a circus when Pelosi got the gavel.

    True-true, but the optics would ruin him.. I'd bet if it did come down to that I'd bet his announcement to not seek a second term would be shortly after it..

    If he is willing to come if a second subpoena is given him, send him a second subpoena and everyone gets what they want. Of course if someone really wants to stretch this out and waste time, money, and keep the chaos going it would be very easy to do by refusing a second subpoena.

    But when Republicans ignore subpoenas, they are charged and jailed by the DOJ. Why isn't Hunter?

    2 things:

    Biden yet again gets special treatment, even from Republicans.

    Biden must be worried that maybe it's just possible Garland would enforce contempt charges against him.

    Comer, Jordan to issue new subpoena for Hunter Biden as deposition talks reignite

    A source suggested Hunter Biden's compliance may keep the House from voting on holding him in contempt

    House Republicans signaled they would subpoena Hunter Biden again in the near future after the president’s son opened the door to a deposition with impeachment investigators.

    House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, sent a letter to Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell over the weekend stating that they would be willing to subpoena him a second time if that meant his cooperation in their probe.

    "The committees welcome Mr. Biden’s newfound willingness to testify in a deposition setting under subpoena," the letter said.

    "Although the Committee’s subpoenas are lawful and remain legally enforceable, as an accommodation to Mr. Biden and at your request, we are prepared to issue subpoenas compelling Mr. Biden’s appearance at a deposition on a new date in the coming weeks."

    I believe that arrest was to be scheduled the day after Holder was arrested. The DOJ has a funny way of deciding who is and isn't arrested.

    So your statement that Republicans are arrested for failing to comply was incorrect. Got it. You could have just acknowledged that instead of having to bring in the failures of the trump DOJ but ok…
