“Hunter never appeared for the hearing on 3/20/24 when Bobulinski testified. That’s the one that I wondered if he was subpoenaed for...that’s what the empty chair was for at the table.”
I read a couple articles about that hearing. None of them made any mention of a subpoena to Hunter Biden. I can’t say for sure whether he was subpoenaed, but if he had been, it’s likely that the Republicans would have been making a stink about noncompliance. So my guess is no subpoena.
They did subpoena him for an earlier hearing, and he testified for several hours. Are there limits on subpoenas? Can a Congressional committee keep issuing subpoenas and demanding that the same witness appear over and over and over? If so, could the Democrats running a Senate committee do that to Republicans?
I imagine a subpoena is good for only one cause and they would have needed a new one - different subject...
Hunter is just like his dad - manages to mess up everything he touches...literally!!! He and his attorney insisted on a public hearing. They got it and he refused to show...I don’t know how anyone watching the hearing AND paying attention could have missed that Hunter and his dad were involved in payoffs; influence peddling with big, big bucks involved...
Just watching and listening to Bobulinski at that hearing was worth the time I spent watching....He’s a pretty sharp cookie - quick on the uptake and comeback; former military officer, Navy, I think and successful businessman.
When he started to read his statement, he asked if he should read his before Hunter Biden and pointed to the empty seat without a glimmer of a smile.
He had several back and forths with that creep Goldman from NY...a very nasty man. I thought Raskin was nasty but Goldman has him beat. Toward the end of the hearing, I think it was Comer who said, “That’s ok. We don’t listen to Congressman Goldman either.” I think it was directed after Bobulinski said, “he wasn’t listening to me”. AND he WASN’T...It was just about when people were getting up from their chairs and preparing to leave so I don’t know how many heard him. Priceless!
Almost as priceless as the zinger Gaetz got in about Swalwell....speaking of creeps!!! That means Swalwell....
