Biden didn’t take questions as he walked into the listening to room.
As soon as he obtained into the listening to, he took a seat, and sat there providing to be referred to as to testify.
Rep. Jared Moskowitz put Republicans on the recent seat by holding a vote on who wished Hunter Biden to testify in public at this time.
Moskowitz mentioned:
So I’m listening to the gentlelady from South Carolina concerning the witness being afraid to return in entrance of the committee. Fascinating. He’s right here. Doesn’t appear to be too afraid. In actual fact, for some cause, the chairman who on a number of events invited the witness to return on TV, apparently the chairman desires to fake like his statements on tv or in interviews don’t matter.
However it didn’t occur as soon as. It didn’t occur twice. It occurred a number of occasions, the chairman mentioned the witness can select whether or not to return to a deposition or to a public listening to in entrance of the committee. The witness accepted the chairman’s invitation. It simply so occurs the witness is right here.
If the committee desires to listen to from the witness and the chairman gave the witness that possibility, then the one of us which are afraid to listen to from the witness with the American individuals watching are my pals on the opposite facet of the aisle. I don’t know if there’s a correct movement, Mr. Chairman, however I’ll make a movement. Let’s vote. Let’s take a vote. Who desires to listen to from Hunter proper now at this time? Anybody? Come on. Who desires to listen to from Hunter? Nobody. So — I’m a visible learner. And the visible is obvious. No person over there desires to listen to from the witness — oh, one, thanks.

The entire spectacle is devastating for Home Republicans who claimed that Hunter Biden is afraid to indicate up and testify, whereas Hunter Biden is sitting within the gallery in entrance of them prepared to testify. Hunter Biden continues to indicate that he’s making an attempt to adjust to the subpoena, however Home Republicans proceed to refuse to simply accept his testimony.
All of this may make for an excellent protection, if a contempt decision does cross the Home.
James Comer’s Biden impeachment investigation has been an embarrassing failure, as he retains getting owned by Hunter Biden.
