Wow, THAT Backfired! LOL! Hunter Biden SUDDENLY Having Second Thoughts About Public Hearing HE Requested
http://twitchy.com/samj/2024/03/14/jonathan-turley-hunter-biden-n2393969
With the Hur Report taking center stage this week, it's easy to miss developments with Hunter Biden. Unless, of course, you're Jonathan Turley and keep track of all of this stuff because you're a smart cookie who can multitask.
Seems the son Joe just loves SO MUCH suddenly doesn't want that public hearing HE himself requested.
Wonder why.
Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) ~ Remember when Hunter Biden and his counsel Abby Lowell called for a public hearing to "let the light shine on these proceedings”? Hunter just declined to appear in a public hearing. It appears that he is suddenly heliophobic.

Hmmm ... Hunter is NOW not so keen on airing it all out, eh?
From The Hill:
President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, won’t appear before Congress at a slated March 20 hearing, with his attorney telling House Republicans that he “declines your invitation to this carnival side show.”
The letter to House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) comes after he apparently set a hearing date without first consulting Hunter Biden for his availability, arranging for his testimony alongside some former business partners who have been critical of the president’s son.
There's more:
Comer’s request for a public hearing was in line with earlier demands from Biden to appear publicly before the panel.
Biden, as well as Democrats and other past witnesses who have been deposed, have accused Republicans on the committee of releasing cherry-picked exchanges from interviews or mischaracterizing their statements.
Biden had initially skirted an earlier scheduled deposition, instead holding a press conference on the Senate lawn demanding a public hearing. That spurred lawmakers to mull a contempt referral, a process that ended when he later agreed to meet behind closed doors.
Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) ~ ... He certainly does have proceedings in California due to pending criminal charges, but there is no indication of a desire to work out dates. Lowell stated that he considers the matter closed. Clearly the House does not.
Lowell can consider the matter closed all he wants, but until the House also considers it closed, it really doesn't matter.
Greg Anderson (@sparkygreg) ~ Backfired!
The whiny lil' bitch, Hunter, clearly did not think this through ...
You could say that.
Phillip Jackson (@PEJ1952) ~ Who could’ve possibly seen this coming?
Oooh, ooh, we could!
We did actually.
