Republicans warn Hunter Biden no more ‘stunts’ after he offers deposition, say contempt vote ‘will move forward’

WASHINGTON — House Republicans said Friday that Hunter Biden’s offer to testify if they issue him a new subpoena was too little, too late — and vowed to forge ahead with holding him in contempt of Congress unless he immediately sets a date to appear.

President Biden’s son waved a white flag in his standoff with House committees leading the impeachment inquiry into his dad for alleged corruption mere days before the full House was expected to hold him in criminal contempt.

“While we are heartened that Hunter Biden now says he will comply with a subpoena, make no mistake: Hunter Biden has already defied two valid, lawful subpoenas,” said House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).

“Instead of appearing for his deposition on December 13, 2023, Hunter Biden appeared on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol where he made a public statement without taking any questions, Then this week at the Oversight Committee’s markup of his contempt resolution, Hunter Biden pulled another stunt as he continued to defy duly issued subpoenas.”

Comer and Jordan added: “For now, the House of Representatives will move forward with holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress until such time that Hunter Biden confirms a date to appear for a private deposition in accordance with his legal obligation.”

“While we will work to schedule a deposition date, we will not tolerate any additional stunts or delay from Hunter Biden,” the Republicans said. “The American people will not tolerate, and the House will not provide, special treatment for the Biden family.”

Hunter sounds a bit frightened to answer some really simple questions about dear ol’ dad. If everything’s on the level, this should be easy. And Hussein knew all about it.

He's afraid that they may confront him with some real conundrums - like if he's a man or a woman.

Not being a biologist, he probably would have to pass on that question.

Average Dem voter: “Aw, shucks, if it’s a Democrat we’ll give ‘em all the special treatment they want. Just none of those Trump types. No sir.”

It was 2016 when Biden bribed Ukraine - they had six hours to Fire the Prosecutor for $1 Billion (a thousand Million).

It’s now 2024.

It’s obvious they really don’t want to do anything to Joe.

From just what we know so far, the Biden family are rank govt parasites..........
they make their living swilling at the public trough.

The Biden’s care little about “democracy” except when they drag it out
as a useful tool to bolster the Biden Crime Family’s ill-gotten assets.


What the Bidens have hidden among the dopes in Delaware will be a revelation.

“Hunter”...said his lawyer....”These are all Federal Charges...Know what that means?”...

“That means daddy can Pardon you 100%.”

“So the real objective right now...while Daddy is still alive...
is to get convicted.........without squealing on your daddy.”

“Hunter, why do you even ask? You’re a Biden...of course you can lie...”

How low can the Bidens go?

We got a glimpse when Jill whined to Mika that Congress showed Americans salacious pictures of Hunter (pics Hunter took of himself).

Jill wiped a tear from her eye and told Mika the Republicans were “destroying democracy” showing Americans pics of drugged-up Hunter “during vulnerable moments” in Hunter’s “battle with addiction.”


Reality check.

Joe Biden is being buried by the polls b/c Hunter’s hurting him badly.
So out strolls Jill hoping to turn Hunter into a pitiable “victim”.


When Hunter was a full blown druggie, abusing crack
cocaine, a hopeless junkie ” struggling to beat addiction:”
<><>he was a key player in a global influence-peddling scheme,
<><>he had a full-fledged tax-paid Secret Service detail
<><>he was jetting globally, getting free rides on dad’s Air Force Two
<><>he was selling out the US, left and right
<><>he was undermining American families’ safety and security,
<><>he was setting up a sophisticated money laundering operation
<><>he was coordinating a complex labyrinth of LLC accounts
<><>AND netting millions of dollars for himself, dad, and the Biden Crime Family.

I think this warning to Hunter should be followed up by a strongly written letter or at least a Tweet.

Bobby H. Biden is sleazy and slick just like Al Capone. The GOP is going to need to find something else, “spittin’ on the sidewalk for instance, if they intend to convict him for anything.

What suckers. Believing anything a Biden tells you is not bright, as their history of lies is well established.
