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....
“He and his attorney insisted on a public hearing. They got it and he refused to show.”
I think you’re mixing up two different hearings. Hunter was subpoenaed to testify at a closed-door session. He and his attorney said let’s do it in public or Hunter won’t show. The Republicans insisted on private. Eventually Hunter backed down, appeared at a private session, and testified for several hours.
Then came this week’s public hearing. The GOP set up an empty chair for Biden but I think that was just theatrics. I’ve seen nothing to indicate there was another subpoena, or that Hunter had agreed to show up again.
As a side note, I never understood the dispute about the first hearing. I would have thought that the Republicans would WANT a public hearing, with cameras rolling and consequent heightened media attention. It might even generate a short video clip that could be used in a campaign ad. Yet it was the Republicans who insisted on excluding the public and the media. No idea why.
