I did not involve my father in my business. Not while I was a practicing lawyer, not in my investments or transactions domestic or international, not as a board member, and not as an artist. Never,

It doesn’t look like it. The NYT says it is a closed deposition. It looks like he made the decision to give the closed testimony the Republicans wanted. Although maybe he thinks that after their main informant was exposed as a Russian stooge, he can better control the narrative.

I bet he prepared this statement, and then released it himself right as he was giving his testimony, to make sure Republicans couldn’t hide it.

Open or closed doesn’t matter.

trump supporters will claim he’s guilty and Biden shouldn’t be president.

Biden supporters will say Hunter is 100% innocent of any crimes ever, even when he’s self admittedly broken lots of laws.

The majority of the country won’t give a shit except wanting all wealthy connected criminals to be held accountable regardless of their “team”. But no one is going to listen to us.

For real. I’m voting for Biden 100%. Charge Hunter with tax evasion or whatever nonsense he’s guilty of, I don’t care.

GOP mouth-breathers just love to come up with boogie-men arguments that no one on earth are making.

You could string Hunter Biden up in the gallows by his toenails and I wouldn’t give a shit other than just continuously hating the state’s monopoly on violence. His existence is irrelevant to me.

You don’t remember the sawdust thing from a week ago?

A picture of sawdust that was texted to Biden from an addiction specialist he was seeing was erroneously included as evidence, and everyone was acting like that proved he was innocent. And didn’t lie of the gun forms

Despite the fact that Hunter literally wrote a book about all the drugs he was doing at the same time he bought the gun.

trump supporters literally do the same thing, show them 1,000 pieces of evidence and they’ll claim one thing you accidentally included invalidates everything and proves Trump is innocent.

Maybe this gas company really didn’t get any preferential treatment by hiring Hunter, but it’s hard to believe someone thinks he got his position off his own abilities.

If there’s no crime, cool. But that’s why we have trials in the first time.

Wealthy people do shady shit all the time. I’m not going to excuse Hunter because his dad is president, that’s what republicans do.
