Hunter won't do what Don Jr. and Ivanka did...why?

[DBA]

Hunter can show on record where Republicans misrepresented and cherry picked closed door testimony


Makes it difficult to prove contempt when he offered open testimony

Those being deposed don’t make the rules. It doesn’t work that way.

[DBA]

They want a secret deposition so they can make claims about what was said that wasn't.

Democrats want a show where their congressman can attempt to paint a picture of a wonderful loving father who is just being harassed by evil Republicans. The MSM will then cherry pick ONLY those moments and report on only those. Little clips will be all over social media for the kids with short attention spans to absorb and not bother to research. Sympathetic quotes would be the headlines on the WaPo and NYT so newsstand by-passers can get their “news” quickly. Their ignorant, brainwashed constituency would buy all of it and, voila, they have created yet another false narrative.

Hunter does not have to testify

Because he is conveniently under investigation for other crimes?

Because he has a right to remain silent

Because he has a right to remain silent

That doesn’t mean he can’t show up. If he wants to sit there and plead the 5th he can. He doesn’t want to do that though because it would make him appear even more guilty.

Hunter set the terms that he would only testify in an open session

He doesn’t have the right to set the terms.

He has a right to decide when to speak

Living in dingbat world now, so they're trying extra hard to make it that way. They must be stopped or it all goes straight to hell.

The Trump children sat through closed depositions and then answered questions from members of Congress.

Link please. Because I need to know what instance you are referring to.

Exactly..

Haven't House Repubs established a precedent whereby subpoenas can be ignored?

The Jan. 6 select committee said on Monday that four House Republicans, including Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, violated congressional ethics rules by defying subpoenas for testimony and documents.

Jan. 6 panel refers McCarthy, 3 other Republicans for ethics violations

The panel referred the lawmakers for a review by the bipartisan ethics committee, which is seen as unlikely to take action against the members.

It has become a super evil trend today, and it needs to be called out everytime it raises it's ugly head. When this country made a "LEFT" turn, and started down the road to perdition, that's when we began seeing these things being used more and more and more. Normalizing evil and normalizing sin will finish this nation. FACT

Wouldn't the circumstances determine the allowance ?? Are all subpoenas equal ???? Please answer and give details if they are to be considered equal.

 

[beagle9]

He has a right to decide when to speak

Oh he has that right eh ?

 

[bripat9643]

Or he can just testify in public without a deposition, which he isn't required to give.

If the House asks him for one, then he's required to give one, dumbass.

Sure it is. Seems to me that if the Republicans know they've got the goods on Hunter, they'd be happy for a public forum.

They don't.

They want a secret deposition so they can make claims about what was said that wasn't.


Yeah, you must have missed that part about the Fifth and Sixth Amendments in Civics class.

That's Adam Schiff-for-Brains modus operandi, not the Republcans'

Repubs decided they didn't want to comply with legally enforceable subpoenas. So they didn't. Why can't everyone else do the same?

The case in New York. Letetia James subpoenaed all of the Trump children...deposed them and forced them to testify. Unlike Hunter they appeared for their depositions and answered fully under questioning. They didn't have anything to hide. It's obvious that the Biden family DOES!

And when they didn't...what happened to them, Berg?
