Republicans to Initiate Contempt of Congress Proceedings After Hunter Biden Defies Subpoena

Republicans to Initiate Contempt of Congress Proceedings​

After Hunter Biden Defies Subpoena​

13 Dec 2023 ~~ By Cristina Laila

Hunter Biden on Wednesday arrived in DC and gave a press conference on Capitol Hill where he revealed he will only answer questions under his own rules despite a congressional subpoena.
Congressional Republicans subpoenaed Hunter Biden for a closed-door deposition related to his influence-peddling and family corruption.
Hunter Biden on Wednesday said he will only testify “at a public hearing.”
“My father was not financially involved in my business,” Hunter Biden said in the presser.
Hunter tacitly admitted that his father Joe Biden was involved in his overseas businesses in other ways.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer on Wednesday announced GOP lawmakers will initiate contempt of Congress proceedings after Hunter Biden brazenly defied a lawful subpoena.
“Hunter Biden today defied lawful subpoenas and we will now initiate contempt of Congress proceedings,” Comer said.
“We will not provide special treatment because his last name is Biden,” Comer added.


Commentary:
Congress has the power to arrest and imprison Hunter for 1 year. Do it!.
The question remains... When Congress refers the proceedings to the DoJ, will Garland enforce the Congressional contempt charges against Hunter as they did with Bannon?

Hunter Biden, Defying Deposition Subpoena, Again Offers Public Testimony​

The president’s son appeared at a news conference at the Capitol as House investigators awaited him at a private session he declined to attend. Republicans threatened him with contempt.

Ahead of House GOP vote on impeachment inquiry, Hunter Biden defies subpoena​

House Republicans have said formalizing the inquiry will put them on stronger legal footing for any court challenges related to their investigations​


 
Again, Joe Biden said recently to a reporter that the DOJ must prosecute anyone who defies a Congressional subpoena. Do you agree with Joe Biden?
Absolutely and they need to start with the backlog:
The Jan. 6 select committee said that four House Republicans, including ex-Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, violated congressional ethics rules by defying subpoenas for testimony and documents. In addition to McCarthy, three other lawmakers were referred for defying subpoenas: Reps. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.).
 
He screwed up by defying the subpoena. The GOP has the right to do this. After all Joe Biden said recently to a reporter that the DOJ must prosecute anyone who defies a Congressional subpoena.


FLASHBACK: Watch as Joe Biden Affirms DOJ’s Duty to Prosecute Anyone Who Defies Congressional Subpoena​


Unfortunately the House cannot enforce either. And the chances of a Biden DOJ doing so are slim to none.

Uh, He DOJ is not the House Ethics Committee

The pubs 'MIGHT' tag Hunter on the no show but that would be as far as it would ever go.
 
Hmmmm.
Refusal to let it be live on c-span by the Republicans.
Behind closed doors where they can tape, but he cannot.
Behind closed doors, where they can release what they please, but he has nothing to release.
No testimony can be used to clear, but all testimony can be used against him in actual courts, where rules apply, on Federal Charges he is facing trial and possible imprisonment at the same time.
What possible reason would he have to testify?
I would be contemptuous, also.
Fk them.
Not being an American, could someone kindly explain to me as to what "right" the Congress has to summon a private person that holds no political office? or is Hunter Biden a politician?

Lock him up

Congress has subpoena power, just like courts. To command people to come forward and offer testimony.
 
They'll probably reissue the subpeona after the vote today. Hunter will once again tell Congress to fuck themselves, then they will hold him in criminal contempt. Puts daddy in a very sticky wicket.
Xiden won’t prosecute, which in and of itself is impeachable
