Another Ruse: Hunter Biden’s Congressional Appearance on Family’s Influence-Peddling Business

Initially, it was an enticing idea.

Hunter Biden would have appeared before Congress on Dec. 13 to answer questions about his family’s influence-peddling business. However, it was simply a ploy by his expensive lawyers to avoid accountability and stage a pity party.

Everyone else subpoenaed in James Comer’s House Oversight investigation of the Bidens must first undergo a transcribed interview under oath. For Hunter’s case, the committee has numerous bank documents and other evidence relating to the millions of dollars he and other Biden family members received from America’s foreign adversaries during his father’s vice presidency.

It is impossible to extract meaningful information from a televised congressional hearing that allows witnesses to filibuster through the five-minute time limits and where too many members engage in self-interested grandstanding.

As an example of the severity of the mounting allegations, Comer released an email Wednesday, showing that a bank investigator responsible for detecting money laundering had warned in 2018 of “unusual” and “erratic” activity related to more than a dozen wire transfers of large sums of money from China to Hunter’s accounts. It’s just another of the dozens of red flags over the years.

Joe Biden has lied about his involvement in the family money-making scheme, despite knowing he was the “brand” they were selling and often meeting his son’s foreign benefactors for dinners and breakfasts and talking to them on speakerphone.

The Oversight Committee is duty-bound to follow every lead, and no amount of protesting and clever lawyering will stop them.
