Committee Chair Says If Hunter Biden Doesn’t Testify, He Will ‘Assume’ He’s Guilty"},"content":{"rendered":"

When Republicans in the House of Representatives initiated their smear campaign against Hunter Biden, they knew that it was a political scam intended only to harm President Biden<\/a><\/strong> by manufacturing an election year scandal that was utterly devoid of substance. But could they possibly have known what a farce it would turn out to be?<\/p>\n

\"Republicans<\/p>\n

After a year of posturing and lying, the “investigation”<\/em> by the GOP has not produced a single shred of evidence of wrongdoing by the President. To the contrary, their own witnesses have testified under oath that Hunter and his father never discussed any business or other activities that could be considered suspicious, much less illegal. The Republican chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan recently told Fox News that his best evidence against Biden was a witness who exonerated him<\/a><\/strong>. And even Fox News was already having a difficult time advancing the phony charges.<\/p>\n

As their campaign of lies and innuendo proceeds, it is getting even more preposterous. So much so that the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, just told CNN’s Manu Raju that he has essentially abandoned all adherence to legal principles, including those enshrined in the Constitution.<\/p>\n

Raju sought to get a comment from Comer regarding the stalemate between Comer’s committee and Hunter Biden over a subpoena they issued to demand Hunter’s appearance for a deposition. Hunter had initially agreed to testify before Congress in a public hearing, but then Comer withdrew the offer and insisted that it be done behind closed doors. Presumably so they could lie about it, as they have done after previous private depositions<\/a><\/strong>. Here is what Comer told CNN:<\/p>\n

Raju:<\/strong> If Hunter doesn’t show up and testify, how much harder will that make your investigation to pin anything on the President?
\nComer:<\/strong> Well, I mean, if he doesn\u2019t show up, then I guess we\u2019ll just have to wrap it up without him and assume that these were bribes from foreign countries. Assume that what the bank said was true, he was money laundering, he was involved in the human trafficking ring.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
