GOP offers to accommodate Hunter Biden's demand

House Republicans say they are willing to go along with Hunter Biden and agree to subpoena him again for the impeachment inquiry into his demented father, President Joe Biden, after refusing to comply with the last subpoena.

Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote to Abbe Lowell, Hunter's lawyer. They gave kudos to Hunter's "newfound willingness" [aka come to Jesus moment] to testify before Congress in a deposition under subpoena.

“Although the Committee’s subpoenas are lawful and remain legally enforceable, as an accommodation to Mr. Biden and at your request, we are prepared to issue subpoenas compelling Mr. Biden’s appearance at a deposition on a new date in the coming weeks,” Comer and Jordan wrote.

So Lowell wrote back to Comer on Friday after the oversight and judiciary panels approved resolutions to hold Hunter in contempt of Congress for flagrantly defying subpoenas issued in November.

The lawyer said Hunter Biden would appear for a deposition or hearing in compliance with a “proper subpoena” since the House voted to formally authorize the impeachment inquiry in December.

The recovering crack addict and whore mongering first son showed up on Capitol Hill twice: once on the day of his scheduled deposition and next as the House considered the contempt resolutions, demanding he be allowed to appear in an open setting such as a public hearing to answer "legitimate" questions while keeping lawmakers from somehow distorting his testimony.

House Republicans said they were willing to have Hunter testify in a public hearing — but only after a deposition — and have insisted throughout the standoff that their subpoenas were valid.

“To be clear, the issuance of these subpoenas does not in any way suggest or imply that the Committees believe the assertions in your January 12 letter to have any merit,” Comer and Jordan wrote in the Sunday letter. “Our willingness to issue these subpoenas is rooted entirely in our interest in obtaining Mr. Biden’s testimony as expeditiously as possible.”

The GOP had been expected to move forward with a floor vote this week, and the Democrat attack dog, Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD) encouraged the Republicans to call off the plan following Lowell's letter.

“Hunter Biden is giving Republicans exactly what they have been demanding this week,” Raskin claimed on Friday, adding that the doper “has offered to appear for a ‘hearing or deposition.’ It is time for Chairs Comer and Jordan to call off this truly absurd and wasteful contempt proceeding and finally take yes for an answer, which Chair Jordan already said he would ‘certainly’ do.”

Raskin is an annoying leftist who lies for a living.

McCarthy threatens FBI Director with contempt for hiding Biden bribe tip

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (D-CA) on Tuesday said he will do all he an to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress, just like they did with Eric Holder who basically flipped them off and went on his way. That's because Congress holding people in contempt is like a butterfly attacking  worm. The worm is indifferent and could care less.

Wray refuses to share an informant file that accuses President Biden and the Biden crime family of a $5 million bribery scheme while he was vice president, in spite of GOP bluster. 

“Let me tell Director Christopher Wray right here, right now: If he misses the deadline today, I’m prepared to move contempt charges in Congress against him,” McCarthy said on 'Fox & Friends.' “I personally called Director Wray and told him he needs to send that document. Today is the deadline,” he added.

“We have jurisdiction over this. He can send us that document. We have the right to look at that —Republicans and Democrats alike in that committee. And if he does not follow through with the law, we will move contempt charges against Christopher Wray and the FBI. They are not above the law,” he said. McCarthy said that he will lead an effort to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress if he refuses to share an informant file about President Biden, and that won't look good on his resume.

McCarthy called Wray on May 19 and said afterward he believed the FBI would comply with the Oversight Committee subpoena.

Clockwise: Wray, Comer, Biden Crime Family

Comer, meanwhile, is scheduled for a Wednesday call with Wray  now that the deadline passed.

“I see sensitive documents all the time. I told him he could redact certain parts of that — names and others, so we wouldn’t know methods,” McCarthy said, in an attempt to take away any arguments Wray might pose against releasing them.

“But we have a right to see it. He does not have the right to choose what he can and cannot show us. We oversee the FBI and if he thinks differently, he will soon see a contempt charge in Congress against the director,” he continued.

“There’s enough problems in the FBI and I will not sit back and allow him to ignore this. We will get this document. … He knows that there’s a document and we have a responsibility to see it.”

Meanwhile, if Wray refuses to release the hounds, he will receive kudos from the administration.

A contempt of Congress vote can carry criminal penalties but serves primarily to shame the officeholder and Wray already has enough reasons to be ashamed of his existence as anyone in the Biden administration.

Other tools available to enforce subpoenas include litigation, withholding of funding, or impeachment. You have a better chance of seeing Haley's Comet three times from Herald Square.

Contempt for Lois Lerner to be Decided

Lois Lerner  testified on her own behalf again this past March. Now a House committee will meet next week to determine whether she should be held in contempt of Congress. You see, you can't say that you're innocent of the charges brought against you (in this case, the charges were targeting the Tea Party and conservative organizations) and then refuse to answer questions to question that claim. In other words, you can't testify and then say you refuse to testify.
