We beforehand mentioned how Hunter Biden was gracious sufficient to say that he may seem earlier than Congress after receiving a subpoena from the Home Oversight Committee when “the time is true.” As I famous on the time, that’s not fairly how subpoenas work. It’s actually not an invite. Now a date has been set for December thirteenth, however Hunter’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, is suggesting that he is not going to seem in non-public however solely in a public listening to. Once more, Hunter essentially misses the purpose of a congressional subpoena.
Home Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., shortly disabused Hunter of the purpose of the subpoena and stated that he’ll certainly seem in a personal session earlier than a public listening to. That’s exactly what the Democrats have achieved, together with with dozens of witnesses within the January sixth committee.
It is a unhealthy begin for Hunter, who’s a lawyer. For years, he has been in a position to manipulate the media and create ever altering rationales for his function within the alleged corruption scheme from knowledgeable to addict to sufferer.
These spins may now come at a value. Whereas the Justice Division gradual walked his investigation and allowed the statute of limitations to run, any misrepresentation might be charged as a brand new felony with a brand new statute of limitations.
Hunter will seem within the place set by the Committee. He can select his solutions, however not his discussion board. Placing the bravado of the letter apart, he now has a date with Congress and he’ll now not be capable of orchestrate how he’ll seem in public.
Right here is the letter from Lowell:
