Hunter tells a whopper

Hunter Biden was deposed yesterday before the Oversight and House Judiciary committees behind closed doors.. He made several nuanced statements:

In an opening statement distributed to the media, Hunter accused House Republicans of spreading “baseless and MAGA-motivated conspiracies” about his father’s role in an array of foreign business relationships and insisted he “never” involved President Biden “in my business” — despite what Republican investigators say is substantial evidence to the contrary.

Hunter's denials have continuously evolved over time as the GOP exposes evidence contrary to them. Within an hour House democrats were outside lying about the testimony.

The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee claimed Wednesday he was “not aware” of any meetings President Biden had with his son Hunter’s foreign business associates — despite overwhelming evidence, including sworn testimony, to the contrary.

But facts are pesky things.

All day Hunter and his lawyers were trying to drive a square peg into a round hole but there was one really outstanding piece of testimony. Hunter sent a Whatsapp message to Communist Party official Henry Zhao demanding that Zhao send him $5 million.

When questioned about this, Biden defended himself this way:

'Hunter admitted that he was high or drunk when he sent the "sitting here with my father" WhatsApp message, sent it to the wrong recipient, and is now embarrassed by the message,' a readout of his testimony recorded.

Seriously.

Oddly, the "wrong recipient" sent him the $5 million within 10 days.

But within 10 days of his threatening message, $5.1 million flowed from the Chinese firm CEFC to Biden-linked accounts, according to information in a 2020 report by Republican-led Senate committees.

So this of course fires up a few questions for the public hearing.

He doesn't have to tell the truth. He only needs to provide quotes and soundbites and the media will do the rest.

That is what he is doing here. And the GOP/REP are always caught flat footed with pearl clutching quotes about lying and boo hoo.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

And I believe the admission of probably being drunk or high is not aligning with the time frame of his other case in CA related to gun possession. I haven't checked the details yet but he may have tripped himself up. TBD

[Pete Dovgan]

Evidence to the contrary means he lied under oath. He should have been arrested on the spot.

He should be treated like conservatives who refused to cooperate with congress and immediately be arrested and jailed.

Or....is there really to system of justice.

For what it’s worth, here’s the second comment (from the author, it appears) to the original article:

“It later emerged from photos on his abandoned laptop that Hunter Biden was not with his father on the day it was sent, but was at Joe Biden‘s home in Wilmington, Delaware.”

[motor_racer]

I wonder if the GOP actually had the b***ls to put him under oath this time, or if they let him weasel out of that.

“’Hunter admitted that he was high or drunk when he sent the “sitting here with my father””

When WASN’T he?

[Seruzawa]

All these criminals have to do is remain silent, just invoking the 5th. Yet they are always stupid enough to chatter. Any decent lawyer will tell you the first thing is to NOT TALK. Even Mafia people are generally smart enough to keep their mouths shut. Chattering criminals get themselves convicted. The Cops count on this. Don’t explain. Don’t respond. Don’t say nuthin. Taking the 5th might look bad but talking is worse

So you’re telling us we can shake down random strangers on WhatsApp and they’ll send us $5 million!!! Woohoo!!!

[rdl6989]

Oddly, the “wrong recipient” sent him the $5 million within 10 days.

Sounds plausible /sarcasm

[Ann Archy]

The BIDEN CRIME FAMILY ARE PATHELOGICAL LIARS!!!

[Ann Archy]

LOL!! the WRONG RECIPRIENT SENT HIM THE $5 MILLION!!!

[Liz]

FTA----When questioned about the above threats he sent shaking down a Chinese moneyman, Hunter admitted that he was "high or drunk" when he sent the "sitting here with my father" threat.....but he said he sent it to the "wrong recipient," and is now embarrassed by the message........

But wait a sec......within 10 days of Hunter's threatening message, the "wrong recipient" sent the Biden accounts $5.1 million from the Chinese firm CEFC. (This was confirmed by a 2020 report by Republican-led Senate committees.)

Is there no end to the Biden lies to cover-up their
treasonous activities, selling out America left and right?

==============================================

Hunter’s politically flexible “addiction defense” is mentioned when it has a political bonus for the many scrapes Hunter created for himself.

It only heightens concerns over Hunter’s corrupt global influence-peddling. When foreign figures were giving him millions of dollars, Hunter admits that he was a crack addict and alcoholic, writing in his book that “Drinking a quart of vodka a day by yourself in a room is absolutely, completely debilitating” as was “smoking crack around the clock.”

Keep in mind, Hunter was no hapless gutter-junkie snatching purses to feed his addiction.
<>he is the son of the most powerful man on the globe
<>he was flying around the world mooching off taxpayers on Air Force Two,
<>he had a tax-funded Secret Service detail
<>he was vacuuming up millions selling dad’s influence
<>he was allegedly distributing the money to various Biden family members
<>he was organizing a labyrinth of shell companies and LLC accounts money laundries
<>he was selling out America left and right.

It doesn’t Matter because NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ANY OF THESE EVIL, CORRUPT DEMOCRAT!!

[faucetman]

Can they PROVE (beyond a reasonable doubt) that Joe actually WAS sitting there with Hunter when he sent the Whatsapp message.

[Ann Archy]

At his father’s house going thru CLASSIFIED, TOP SECRET INFORMATION FILES!!

The questions teed up at the end of the excerpt are worth posting. They are logical follow-on questions that will make him squirm.

---

So this of course fires up a few questions for the public hearing.

• Why would the “wrong recipient” send you $5 million?
• Who was the right recipient?
• You received $5 million. Why are you embarrassed?
• Doesn’t this sound like extortion?
• For what were you given $5 million? What was your business? What did you do to earn this money?
• What was your father going to do if you weren’t paid?
• What were the Chinese expecting in return?
• That message doesn’t read as though it come from a drunk or a crack infused individual. Care to comment?
• Why would your father permit you to accompany him on Air Force 2 to China and meet with dubious Chinese businessmen knowing you are a drunk and crack addict?

[Ex-Con777]

I’m sure his lawyer and his mush brained dad told him to lie his a$$ off. He’s getting pardoned anyway.

EC

[FlingWingFlyer]

Hunter has everyone in the far-left, “mainstream media” standing in line waiting to kiss his ass. I guess they’re all trying to get on his Christmas card list.

[fuzzylogic]

The only question that is relevant and can’t be answered rationally:

Without you father, what qualifications do you have to possibly be considered for such million dollar deals?
