Hunter Biden appears at own contempt hearing...then leaves in a hurry

a reply to: Vermilion

House GOP divisions were on full display Wednesday as dozens of Republicans broke with their party leadership and former President Donald Trump to support a proposed commission investigating the Jan. 6 siege on the Capitol.

GOP defections over Jan. 6 commission deliver rebuke to McCarthy

The J6 committee had more bipartisan support than the impeachment inquiry into Biden.

He was subpoenaed by the J6 committee. A committee that was established by a full floor vote.

Oh the committee that didn't follow other ESTABLISHED rules for such a thing. Yea the opposition party gets to pick who gets to sit on it. You may notice they didn't enforce the subpoena, probably because inconvenient facts like that would call the authority under question.

Yes or no? Did the bill that granted the special committee its authority pass 252-175 in a full floor vote?

The really sad part is that he will never serve a day in Jail/Prison

This resolution establishes in the House of Representatives the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

The select committee must (1) conduct an investigation of the relevant facts and circumstances relating to the attack on the Capitol; (2) identify, review, and evaluate the causes of and the lessons learned from this attack; and (3) submit a report containing findings, conclusions, and recommendations to prevent future acts of violence, domestic terrorism, and domestic violent extremism, and to improve the security of the U.S. Capitol Complex and other American democratic institutions.

The select committee consists of 13 Members of the House appointed by the Speaker; 5 must be appointed after consultation with the minority leader. The resolution gives the select committee specified powers, including the authority to hold hearings, receive evidence, and issue subpoenas. It also requires other House committees to share relevant records with the select committee within 14 days of the resolution's adoption or receipt of such records.

Pelosi consulted with McCarthy. He wanted to put people on the committee that he knew would be included as part of the investigation (ie Jordan) so she rejected his suggestions.

Agreed
I appreciate that you also inferred more than one crime.

Hunter consistently claims he would appear in a public hearing, but not behind closed doors. The Republican have been completely unwilling to negotiate with Hunter on this.

And there’s a damn good reason for that, do you know???

No. Is there? What is their reason for not letting Hunter Biden answer their question publicly?

a reply to: KrustyKrab

Yes. A public hearing stops the GOP from signing and outright lying like they did with Archer's deposition. It also means they actually have to show up and do their job, unlike with a deposition.

www.foxnews.com...

The House Judiciary Committee passed a resolution to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for defying a congressional subpoena as part of the House impeachment inquiry against President Biden, setting up a full vote on the House floor in the coming days that would recommend the first son for prosecution.

The vote at the House Judiciary Committee was 23-14. A source familiar tells Fox News Digital a full House floor vote could come as early as next week.

Oh my, it seems things have taken a totally unexpected turn!

Let's see if Johnson can whip his Party into all voting the same way. He can only afford to have three defectors. Based on his performance today, he might as well be herding cats.

Because in a public forum it would allow democrats to run interference and draw out the questioning, so fewer questions could be asked. Republicans have a lot of questions that they want answered, well over a hundred from what I heard. The only way for that to happen is in a private setting. That’s why they don’t want it public.
