If Hunter Biden were a black crackhead or a Trump he’d be in jail.
And as if this should offer Americans solace, Republicans are considering holding Hunter Biden in contempt.
???? CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS ????
Hunter Biden blatantly defied two lawful subpoenas when he did not appear for his December deposition. Next week, we will consider a resolution and accompanying report to hold him in contempt of Congress for violating federal law. @JudiciaryGOP will…

Considering. How impressive Republicans are, as they “consider” holding Biden in contempt for his, well…CONTEMPT.
Moves like this prove to the public that Republicans are toothless tigers. They talk a big game but, do little to back it up. Hunter Biden is in contempt of Congress. And we want to see the justice occur that should occur when he showcases contempt.
When we think of why Biden was subpoenaed, we understand why he refused to appear. It’s because he’s guilty. And Biden has not just shown contempt of Congress, he’s shown contempt of America.
Hunter Biden ran his family’s influence peddling business. And by family, Hunter involved almost everybody.
Two uncles and his aunt, his ex-sister-in-law/wife, and at least one niece. Almost a dozen Bidens have benefitted from the family business. A business that offers no actual product, yet Biden after Biden got paid.
Joe Biden claims he had nothing to do with these companies which number in the dozens, yet I repeat: produce no product except access to Joe Biden. Joe Biden’s lies are a matter of public record, as are his modifications to each lie. But regardless of the nuance Joe Biden offers on his role, all roads lead to influence peddling.
Don’t consider, just do it
Republicans should be way past considering filing contempt charges. In fact, why didn’t this happen Day One after Hunter Biden failed to appear, then held that stupid press conference in front of the Capitol? If you’ve ever gotten a ticket and didn’t appear to fight it, a warrant is issued for your arrest. At the next traffic stop, you will likely be hauled jail. The only way out is to appear before a judge to review your case.
Democrats say that Jim Jordan set the precedent of disregarding Congress. And of course this is total nonsense. So let’s look at the Jordan subpoena.
In late December 2021, about six months after the House select committee was formed, Chairman Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.) sent a letter to Jordan requesting that the Ohio congressman offer his “voluntary cooperation” in investigating the riot.
“We understand that you had at least one and possibly multiple communications with President Trump on January 6th,” the letter read, referring to the day of the riot. “We would like to discuss each such communication with you in detail.”
What’s more, it continued, the committee hoped to explore other points in the period after the 2020 election in which Jordan might have aided Trump’s efforts to retain power. Thompson suggested a meeting in the first week of January.
Note that this was a request for “voluntary cooperation”. And cooperation to what? A witch hunt. As I’ve known from the beginning and others are finding out, January 6 was a Democrat setup for the long game of keeping Trump out of office for his rightful second term.
Jordan did reply to the letter.
“The American people are tired of Democrats’ nonstop investigations and partisan witch hunts,” it began. Thompson’s letter, Jordan said, “unfortunately continues this Democrat obsession.”
He offered several reasons beyond that one (an obvious reflection of Trump’s rhetoric about the probe) for not complying. Jordan claimed not to have relevant information — because, he suggested, the real causes for the day’s violence were ones not oriented around Trump. (This is not an accurate claim.) He suggested that the questions Thompson asked of him, a peer in the House, “relate to the performance of official duties,” making the request inappropriate.

Contrary to WaPo’s fake news claim, Jordan was right. The violence around J6 involved Democrat operatives, including the FBI.
Jordan continued,
“The actions and statements of Democrats in the House of Representatives show that you are not conducting a fair-minded and objective inquiry. House Democrats have already pre-judged the results of the select committee’s work.”
Jordan cited evidence where the committee intentionally misconstrued his comments. As we’ve learned about this J6 Committee, it was stacked with anti-Trump Democrats and RINOs whose sole intent was to provide credibility to the lie of J6.
When Jordan’s name was submitted by then House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to serve on the committee itself, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) rejected the recommendation. Her excuse was laughable, as Pelosi voiced a concern for the probe’s “integrity”.
After rejecting Jordan for the committee, in May 2022, Thompson issued Jordan a subpoena on behalf of the committee. Jordan again replied with a letter.
“Your attempt to compel testimony about a colleague’s deliberations pertaining to a statutorily prescribed legislative matter and an important Constitutional function,” it stated, “is a dangerous escalation of House Democrats’ pursuit of political vendettas.”
Jordan gave four reasons for rejecting the subpoena.
First, Jordan didn’t think the request served a “legitimate legislative purpose.” He mentioned this because he wouldn’t be allowed to speak to the causes that he insisted were at fault for the riot.
Second, the formation of the committee hadn’t followed the rules of the House because of the Pelosi-McCarthy disagreement. Pelosi stacked the deck so they controlled the kangaroo court that evolved.
Third, Jordan felt that there was no valid precedent for the committee to compel testimony from a peer.
And, fourth, Jordan still had questions about the objectivity of the committee, which, he repeated, had “prejudged the results” of its work.
But Jordan went a step further. He demanded to see any evidence mentioning his name and legal opinions concerning the committee’s authority before he would consider compliance.
Those documents were not presented.
The outcome verifies that Jordan was under no obligation of subpoena as Hunter Biden clearly was. This was proven in December 2022, when the committee issued its final report.
The report recommended that Jordan (and other noncompliant legislators) be referred to the House Ethics Committee and that he and the others “be questioned in a public forum about their advance knowledge of and role in President Trump’s plan to prevent the peaceful transition of power.” The wording alone tells one exactly the role of this committee. Moreover, it had no authority to subpoena Jim Jordan over the nonsense of J6.
Hunter Biden will eventually testify. And that will be one of the most-watched events in quite some time.
