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

[Oldestyle]

He has a right to decide when to speak

You don't really grasp what a subpoena is...do you, Winger?

 

[Oldestyle]

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



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.

How do the 5th and 6th Amendments apply to this? Depositions aren't "secret"! They're recorded. Lawyers for both sides are present. If you misrepresent what was testified to then the other side would simply counter that by releasing your actual testimony. The reason that Hunter Biden doesn't want to go on record under oath is that locks him into his story...and if you look at the Biden's "story" it's been changing rather dramatically over the past two years!

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.

so what you are saying is that you want to don't want him to make his case in a public forum because he MIGHT get some sympathy.

Understandable... Nearly all of us have had someone in our lives with a substance abuse problem.

The thing here is that we have NEVER prosecuted a RELATIVE of a political figure like this before. For things that under normal circumstances, would be written off with a fine.

Then what's your problem with the public forum, then?

Oh, that's right, you are afraid he might come off as sympathetic.

No, what I am saying is that the Democratic constituency is full of complete morons who will believe any headline they read from the MSM or on social media.

Congress isn’t looking to prosecute Hunter for his drug problems. In case you haven’t been paying attention, he has been involved in some super shady multi-million dollar deals with foreign entities and his dad has lied repeatedly about his knowledge of any of his son’s business dealings. Both Hunter and Joe have multiple shell companies(companies with no purpose/income other than pass-through entities). That is very much worth investigating for people who really care about corruption in government.

Don’t worry, the corrupt DOJ isn’t interested in any of this. Evidence, circumstantial or otherwise, is completely irrelevant to them and most Democrats who support this administration.

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

Didn't answer the question I asked..

Are all subpoenas equal ?

 

[konradv]

The Trump children sat through closed depositions and then answered questions from members of Congress. Hunter Biden refuses to be deposed under oath. Gee, what are you hiding, Hunter?

When did the Trump children sit for secret depositions before Congress? I can’t find it. Please cite.

Where was it that they were questioned ? ........Oh was it that hearing or court thing going on concerning Trump ? Maybe that's the confusion in it all..

Did Eric Holder comply with a legally enforceable subpoena?

During the Jan 6 hearing, shit for brains. Also during the Russiagate hoax

Because this was a serious inquiry not the shit show that Republicans are conducting. Republicans have already lied about what was said at these closed door depo0sitions. Hunter has said he will testify publicly. Gee, what are Republicans hiding.

Hunter does not have to testify

True. But if he doesn't he risks criminal conviction

What lie have Republicans told about what was said at a deposition?

You think the biggest influence peddling scandal in the history of the country should have been "written off with a fine"? We've never prosecuted a relative of a President like this before because we've never had a relative of a President ACT this way before!

As for my being afraid of Hunter getting some "sympathy"? Not likely. Hunter's a POS. The more that's revealed about the way he's lived his entire life the more disgusting a human being he shows himself to be!
