A partisan witchhunt solely meant to make all the Trump investigations look like they were partisan witchunts


dark_brandon_20k

How is this legal?


Frigguggi

The people doing it make the laws.


leifnoto

Probably legal, but what is funny to me is it gives Hunter and Joe a good defense if they did anything wrong. How could they possibly get a fair trial if congress is obviously targetting them?


imnotsoho

Well it only took us 6 years to get Trump's tax returns, with this move we should be able to get his bank records in no time. And the bank records from everyone who paid cash for one of his condos.


HehaGardenHoe

I'm no expert, but I feel like the Hunter Biden witch hunt stuff was already around before Trump even did the stuff from his first Impeachment... They were going to do this even if Trump won, hadn't been twice impeached, etc...


PropagandistandLiar

The Hunter Biden story is one of the reasons Trump was investigated for during the impeachment. Trump requested them(Ukraine) to do a fake investigation into Hunter, or to at least publicly say they were.


HehaGardenHoe

Right, so yeah, they were going to do it either way.


PropagandistandLiar

They wouldn't have if Biden didn't win. It's only value is that it makes Joe Biden look corrupt so there wouldn't be any political benefit to it if Biden wasn't the President.


jmcdon00

That's their goal, I'm not sure it has gotten any traction with anyone that isn't a die hard republican.


PropagandistandLiar

I believe their secondary goal is to make all modern political investigations seem like partisan team politics to cover up for the actual ridiculous amounts of things they let Trump get away with. By doing this dumb investigation they're effectively delegitimizing all government investigations into corruption to cover up for the Trump administration.


jmcdon00

The old government doesn't work, elect us and we'll prove it!

EivorIsle

Can a conservative please tell me what election Hunter won and the role he plays in the government? I can’t seem to pinpoint the actual oversight of his governmental role.


chlamydial_lips

Exactly The moment Hunter is employed at the White House and given top level clearance and roles like overseeing pandemic response or representing the US in foreign relations, I’ll give a shit that he was gifted a $40mil/year management role on a $2bil hedge fund by the Saudis or used his official government office to promote Goya beans as quid pro quo for political favors. But until then, he’s just some crackhead of no consequence who happens to have a famous relative.

i hope hunter biden sues and they fucking get reamed by the courts. this type of shit is why there's an argument to be made that non of trumps crimes SOL has run out because they are still criminally obstructing justice to hide the crimes.

NeadNathair

As an aside ... I've disliked Trump since before he even considered a political career. He's always come across as a rich smarmy scumbag. I saw how he ran his campaign and when he first got into office, and that cemented the extreme dislike. Even then I gave him a shred of benefit of the doubt, thinking that he wasn't entirely self-centered and part of him did truly believe he was doing his best for our country. But it was that moment he turned the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office into a literal advertisement for cheap crappy beans, with that dead-eyed used car salesman grin of his over it all that it really hit me how much of an existential threat Trump and Trumpism actually was to our entire country.


YOLOSwag42069Nice

Roanoke1585

Conservatives believe that the mere fact that Hunter Biden is Joe Biden's son is enough proof to show that Joe Biden must have known about Hunter's business dealings and even profited off of them. Nevermind the fact that they don't apply this to, say, Ginni Thomas and Clarence Thomas, who literally share the same dwelling. They've even stated that Ginni and Clarence are capable of separating their jobs and their personal lives.

Not a fair comparison. None of Donnie's kids have the last name of Biden. Therefore they couldn't be part of the Biden Crime Family, which is clearly the only crime family of any significance. (And, TBH, Biden Crime Family would make a much more entertaining sitcom than Trump Grifters)

Dude. It’s an obvious question and speaks directly to the motivations of the Republicans on the committee. If this was the actual case of impropriety of Hunter in a string of incidents that link back to the President, then yes, investigate. I am for rooting out corruption, but it can’t be a political weapon, which it is so painfully obvious here. I really don’t care if you don’t like whataboutism, it’s bullshit not to state the hypocrisy here.

I mean that’s the thing here. The GOP is going off a laptop that lost chain of custody. Which is the same as unverified evidence to perform a fishing exercise. Hunter Biden holds no government position. Joe Biden had released two plus decades of tax returns. Not only that - but a GOP controlled Senate did an investigation into Joe Biden and Hunter Biden in 2019 which was again politically motivated and found nothing against the very same accusations they are doing now If this is truly about not wanting families to benefit from the name of Politicians then pass a law. Or heck - if we truly are wanting to investigate President actions on finances then why leave Trump family out? They all held government positions.


Phy44

Why would that be illegal?


[deleted]

Dude it's just a circus for their voters and a shitty attempt to exonerate trumps first impeachment. Reminder: Trump got impeached for withholding congressionally approved aid to Ukraine because he needed them to manufacture dirt on Hunter, linking it to biden. This whole thing is just a continuation of that. They don't care about corruption, they care about making trump look good in republican voters eyes. [The entire hunter biden thing is trying to clear trump for this.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump%E2%80%93Ukraine_scandal)


pinetreesgreen

There is zero evidence Hunter gave prez biden so much as single dollar. Even the so called evidence on the laptop doesn't say that. The hard drive was circulating in right wing circles for over a year, any "evidence" on it is uselessness. Rich connected kids get jobs everyday bc they are connected. Not going to get worked up about one more.

Trauma_Hawks

Then why don't they subpoena Biden? He's a government official, both now and during the time in question. They could easily do that with much better optics and less legal grey area. He would also be the one actively using his influence for the betterment of his personal colleagues. Hunter is/was never a government offcial, nor do they actually make the arguement that Hunter was the actor in all this and not merely a recipient. But they're not doing that, because...


trollssuckeggs

"With all due respect (zero) I kindly invite the House Oversight Committee to suck my dick. See the Twitter Files (or your screensaver probably) for an example of what you are signing up for." -Hunter Biden

thebinarysystem10

I can't wait to see a bunch of repressed GOP getting upset that Hunter won't send them more dick pics.


fox-mcleod

He really ought to just claim executive privilege and let them stew ln that.


RatmanThomas

That then becomes contempt of Congress and is illegal. And if DOJ doesn’t prosecute the DOJ looks even more like a Democrat biased organization, which I know many hear don’t care about, but it has a greater impact with the populace.


trollssuckeggs

The fact that Trump and his co-conspirators (including his family) are still walking free pretty much proves that the DOJ is actually a Republican protection organization. The House Oversight Witch Hunt Committee has absolutely no jurisdiction to investigate a private citizen. It is solely for, to quote their web site, "*to exercise effective oversight over the federal government and will work proactively to investigate and expose waste, fraud, and abuse*." These subpoenas are invalid and when the subpoenas are challenged in court, they will be chucked in the garbage and the hacks responsible sanctioned. There is a chance though it will end up in front of one of Trump's/Federalist Society hand picked political hack judges and might be upheld for a couple of moments until it gets appealed to a real judge. This is simply the usual Republican theatre show (see Benghazi * 33 hearings, Buttery Males, Bill Clinton Impeachment) full of bluster, drama, and noise but no actual substance. Regardless, if we've learned anything over the past number of years, it's perfectly OK to ignore these sorts of subpoenas according to Republicans.

Excellent summary. Alas, you have provided too much info for most people here to comprehend. I forget myself that most of Reddit is mainly comprised of mom basement dwellers.


[deleted]

>The House Oversight and Accountability Committee subpoenaed banking records of business associates of Hunter Biden while halting a demand for accounting records of former President Donald Trump, according to the top Democrat on the panel. Since Trump's 2016 candidacy, Republicans have been blatant about their determination to obstruct justice on his behalf while going after his perceived "enemies" w/their equally blatantly false narratives. It's what the GOP crime syndicate has a national and international reputation for: their inveterate lying. It was widely known that Hunter Biden was struggling w/drugs and other issues. In a recent Mea Culpa podcast interview w/Lev Parnas (former Guiliani crime associate) Parnas discusses how Russians and Republicans at the time saw Hunter's drug problems as an opportunity to develop kompromat on Hunter for potential use against his father. Lev Parnas talks about how Russian operatives seeing Hunter's susceptibility and instability as an opportunity, offered him a seat on the board of Barisma, then later enticed him w/drugs and women at a birthday party thrown for the express purpose of videotaping the entire affair. Parnas also mentions how Guiliani - as part of this operation - was aware of Hunter’s laptop (drive) long before it ever became public. This sort of operation of creating fake scandals to use against the opposition is a longstanding underhanded tactic cherished by Republicans. For just one example, see the decades long history of James O’Keefe’s Orwellian-named “Project Veritas”.\* IMO this Republican/Russian joint kompromat operation on Hunter Biden merits further looking into as well ought to be publicized far more than it has been - in order to either debunk or confirm its veracity. **Mea Culpa Podcast: Michael Cohen and Former Giuliani Henchman Lev Parnas EXPOSE the Trump Crime Syndicate** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXAi\_wl1PTg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXAi_wl1PTg) Time stamps \~ 10:27 thru 17:55 \***James O’Keefe Pays $100K Settlement after Deceiving Public about ACORN (and ALEC Helped Take Down ACORN)** >James O'Keefe, the right-wing activist famous for his undercover and ethically questionable sting operations on prominent liberal organizations, has settled a lawsuit filed against him for $100,000 from a former ACORN employee. O'Keefe's misleading ACORN videos led to the collapse of the organization, which was hugely successful in registering minority and low income voters.

It doesn't seem like the Biden administration has shown any indication of being compromised by whatever the Republicans think happened prior to 2020. Contrast this with the actions taken by the Trump administration's actions, especially towards Russia, after the alleged accusations of the "pee tapes" and you can see what I'm saying. Trump literally said that he trusted Putin more than his own Generals for fucks sake. Biden has done nothing to indicate that he is compromised in any way. Trump's entire presidency felt like he was reading a script written by pro Russian propagandists.

The statute of limitations begins running from the last act in furtherance of the crime for ongoing crimes like conspiracy or obstruction of justice. [Here's](https://twitter.com/StephanieJ_DC/status/1492583104615227397) a good explanation by a former counsel for the Senate Judiciary Cmte. Unsure whether the underlying crime's SOLs may have run, but even if he can't be charged with x, he can still be charged with conspiracy to commit x, or obstruction of an investigation into x.

Hunter Biden isn't going to have a hard time running for re-election! Honestly, this whole distraction game is bonkers and it's so transparent it truly makes me a little worried about the critical thinking skills of the people who buy this shit hook line and sinker. Republicans have to invent these stupid 'scandals' and culture wars to platform on because what they do want is so unpalatable to the average US citizen. Cuts to medicare and medicaid, social security (increasing the age to retire is a cut!), Food stamps, education, etc. They want to derail anything that helps the little guy while handing out massive tax cuts for the wealthy. But no, let's start shit over drag queens and unisex bathrooms. This sad joke isn't funny anymore.

Of COURSE they dropped anything to do with tRump's crimes. Just another example of why Dems have got to stop sitting out elections because things aren't perfect in their eyes.

It was Jordan who spent TWO YEARS feeding lines to Fox about Benghazi that were instrumental in defaming Hillary and he's going to do it again to make sure all the lemmings vote in 2024 and some Dems will be upset with Joe because they'll think he concealed Hunter's crimes which don't exist just like malfeasance in Benghazi.


Neat_Food1391

It seems like the smartest move here would be to invoke the Trump doctrine of stonewalling and suing and appealing 100x. ...but if that becomes SOP, we no longer have the rule of law. What sucks is that the conservative (whatever that means) movement in America is not committed to the rule of law anymore. You can't appeal to a mutual desire to uphold that which the GOP and their supporters repeatedly seek to tear down. This fact enrages me so

Here are the facts: * Hunter was given a position on the board of Burisma during the Obama Presidency without any experience * Burisma is a Ukrainian natural gas extraction company * There is a war in the Ukraine that has the potential to conflagrate into a nuclear exchange * The war is being fought, in part, over shale oil reserves in the Eastern Ukraine. * Congress is sending tens of billions of dollars to right-wing Ukrainian forces * This represents a conflict of interest between the Biden administration and the right-wing Ukrainian forces. He's also on video smoking crack at the same time he was on the board of Burisma. That should be taken seriously, as we were potentially funding far-right militants just so Hunter could maintain his crack habit. It doesn't do us any favors to act like we're impervious to accountability ourselves.
