Poor Hunter Biden just can’t catch a break.
Sure, he’s a narco-using criminal and shady businessman up to his ears in ethical lapses and corrupt, foreign deals with his father, “The Big Guy.” But he’s a Democrat! And in Washington, that’s supposed to be enough to keep you out of trouble.
It’s Republicans who get held accountable for violating ethics rules and federal laws — like former Congressman George Santos. Democrats, everyone knows, skate. Bill and Hillary Clinton. New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez was indicted again for taking bribes. AOC’s illegal gifts.
Hunter Biden grew up in a time when Democrats were practically supposed to be corrupt. He was this close to skating on his own criminal indictment thanks to a sweetheart deal he negotiated with his father’s Justice Department.
But unfortunately for Hunter, there’s a new sheriff in town: U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, working hand-in-hand with Rep. James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee.
They have been investigating Hunter for months. They have gathered a mountain of evidence on him — and they are not going to stop with just him. All year, they have wanted Hunter to sit for depositions and public testimony before their committees. All year, Hunter has refused.
Until one day in November, Hunter’s lawyers tried to pull a fast one. Hunter offered to testify in public but not sit for preliminary depositions under oath. This would be the best of all worlds for Biden:
-
He’d be protected by committee Democrats;
-
He could refuse to answer tough questions under phony legal pretexts; and
-
He’d begin with a teary-eyed opening statement that leftwing reporters would ensure led the news.
Under the normal rules of Swamp Justice, Hunter’s trick play should have worked. Democrats always offer this kind of half-measure, and Republicans always take it as “the best we can do.”
But Jim Jordan is not that kind of Republican. For instance, he was born in Ohio, NOT UNDER A ROCK! He and Chairman Comer — not the shady president’s shady son — are in charge of this investigation. Letting Hunter Biden testify before being deposed would be like giving him a Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card.
There is no mystery about the strategy here. The Biden plan to lie. The Democrats plan to lie. The media plans to lie.
That’s why Hunter needs to be deposed. If he lies under oath in a deposition, he doesn’t get to go on MSNBC — he goes to prison.
For 50 years, Republican committee chairmen have let Democrats weasel and connive their way out of their corruption. For 50 years, conservatives have hoped and prayed for honest, tough, constitutional conservatives to get their hands on some gavels to change Swamp Justice forever.
No more.
The new generation of fighting, principled leaders that the House Freedom Fund has helped elect is finally here. Right behind Jordan are Scott Perry, Byron Donalds, Chip Roy, Lauren Boebert, and more.
HFF identifies, recruits, and endorses THE BEST conservative candidates in America every election cycle. And every cycle, there are more to help.
