Hunter Biden has supplied to point out up if his questioning might be public, however that doesn’t work for Home Republicans, who’ve demonstrated a historical past of cherry selecting quotes from witnesses to craft a deceptive narrative about President Joe Biden.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has been hammering Jordan at each public alternative for being in defiance of a congressional subpoena for years.
Moreover, everybody needs to be involved about Home Republicans overreach in focusing on a personal citizen who’s already going through DOJ prosecution for moderately minor crimes that aren’t usually prosecuted. Why is he additionally being hauled earlier than the Home of Representatives? Republicans recommend this falls underneath the purview of their oversight function, and it’d had they any stable proof that Hunter Biden and Joe Biden dedicated some sort of crime collectively. However they don’t.
And so the actual story right here is how subpoenas are considered by Home Republicans as weapons of the regulation that solely apply to their opponents, which is the other of being professional regulation and order and moreover, the willingness to make use of their energy to focus on non-public residents.
