So, Hunter Biden Is A Private Citizen But Trump Is Not?

I'm not following the logic here. Why are Hunter Biden and his lawyers refusing to comply with a Congressional investigation? Don't they believe in the rule of law?

In a letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., the lawyer, Abbe Lowell, said the committee “lacks a legitimate legislative purpose and oversight basis for requesting such records from Mr. Biden, who is a private citizen.”

Trump is an ex-President and a current Presidential Candidate, no, hunter has never been a politician

 

During the last 6 years Republicans allowed this, they made their bed, Congress no longer has any teeth, they are all bark

they can fight to get him to appear for the next two year and when they finally get him there, he can take the fifth... lol, just like Trump did

gone are the days of a Hillary spending hours before Congress answering all their questions

 

So your answer is the authority of the executive only, them being able to direct their agencies and abuse any power they wish. Is that your contention?

 

Yes. That is expressly why they’re not making records available.

 

I don't believe you are sincerely asking the question.

 

LOL. I get it, it's ok to have witch hunts against Trump but not against Hunter Biden.

 

LOL. I am sincerely asking the question. You just don't want to answer.

 

Because it's obvious. Trump isn't a private citizen, you don't need it explained to you. Thinking that you need that explained to you would almost be a personal attack. You aren't that stupid.

 

So you feel this is a witch hunt against Hunter Biden?

Let me also point out that many Republicans including now majority Leader McCarthy and Jim Jordan did not honor Congressional subpoenas for information during the January 6 investigation isn't it hypocritical for Republicans to complain about not having their wishes followed.

 

Trump's not a private citizen? Really?

 

So you admit there were witch hunts against Trump? Now we're getting somewhere.

 

The January 6 Commission was farce from beginning to end. Yes, there were a bunch of fools who entered the Capitol and did stupid stuff. At no time was there a chance that they would have taken control of the Federal Government. It was over and done with in a few hours.

Now we have Hunter Biden who has taken millions of dollars from foreign governments. He is the son of a former vice president and now president. He had no special experience or training which indicated that he was qualified to render any special services to those governments except for his family connections. On top of that, he had a serious history of drug abuse. Most people in that position would have a hard time landing a responsible job in a major corporation let alone one that paid 7 figure amounts.

For many years, Joe Biden was one of the “poor members of Congress.” I remember him reporting a net worth of something like a few hundred thousand dollars when he became vice president. A couple of years ago, he reported an income of $11 million on his income tax.

Aren’t you a bit curious about that? I know I am. He also now has properties in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Having grown up in the Rehoboth Beach area, I can tell you none of that property comes cheap, especially on the north end where the DuPonts and other wealthy people have houses. How did he swing that on a Congressional and vice president’s salary?

 

Trump's children were hired to work at the White House, they had no qualifications to do so

the deals with China and Saudi Arabia should be investigated - they worked for the White House, they were not private citizens

 

Son in law, Jared Kushner, negotiated peace treaties in the Middle East that were true breakthroughs. Who knows what he might have done if Trump had had a second term?

At any rate, we are talking about Hunter Biden, not Trump’s children.

 

read the title, this is about a child of the President, so comparing the Trump children is fair game, especially as Trump is part of the discussion

 

I never said that. You were the one that said it was a witch hunt.

No one has addressed the fact that Republicans ignored subpeonas and are now whining because the same thing is happening to them.....anyone care to take a stab.

 

Your post admitted that both were witch hunts. Now you are walking it back and only claiming one was a witch hunt. Not surprising.

 

The committee will have to prove it has a legislative purpose, just like the other committee had to do with Trump. Fair is fair.

 

Careful. That kind of ideological consistency is going to piss certain people off.

 

As soon as Trump left public office he became a private citizen. Running for public office still makes him a private citizen.

 

Surely you shouldn’t be surprised given McCarthy and Jordan, right?

 

No problem. By the way, even Democrats believe Hunter Biden committed crimes.

I'm not surprised that a Jan 6th committee of 100% anti-Trumpers formed a kangaroo committee to investigate Trump.
