Hunter Biden shoved Jared Kushner's corruption into GOP lawmakers' faces: Dem lawmaker

[Uncle Joe]

President Joe Biden's son testified for more than six hours this week in a closed-door deposition, where he denied his father's involvement in his foreign business dealings and then, Goldman told MSNBC's "Morning Joe," offered a comparison of what he's accused of doing as a private citizen and the actions Donald Trump's son-in-law took while serving as a White House official.

"When Hunter Biden asked the Republican members of Congress, 'Do you have any problem with that?' there were a couple who said yes," Goldman said. "It is not in the transcript, but they said yes. Others were nodding, because he did a very good job of confronting them with the difference between what he did, which was dealing in international business with non-government officials, non-government entities, versus Jared Kushner, who received $2 billion from the Saudi Arabian government right after he was the point person on Middle East policy for the Trump administration, and after the advisory board of the Saudi government's investment arm recommended not investing in him because he had never done what he was starting to do."

"The contrast is so stark because it is so obvious that what Jared Kushner did deserves investigation, and what Hunter Biden did, at this point, is just purely punitive and purely attacking someone who has made mistakes and admitted to that, but who is not a public official and never has been," Goldman added. "It's purely being done right now just to provide election fodder for Donald Trump."

1. Because all testimony becomes public record...

Everything he said is now recorded and the magats can't change it.

2. Timing and venue are paramount too

Hunter could have said this all along. But he threw it at the GOP after they'd made all that noise and put themselves on record. His timing was as good as his dad's.

3. It looked to me like a case of Mental Brazilian Jiu JItsu

(snip)

BJJ revolves around the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the ground and using a number of holds and submissions to defeat them. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling and self-defense situations.[3] Sparring, commonly referred to as "rolling" within the BJJ community, and live drilling plays a major role in training and the practitioner's development. BJJ can also be used as a method of promoting physical fitness, building character, and as a way of life.[4][5]

4. Exactly why

Republicans didn't want it to be a public hearing. Too embarrassing for them.

5. I agree hildegaard, that was it. n/t

6. It has got to piss house republicans off.....

.....that Hunter gets free Secret Service protection?

[Uncle Joe]

7. I don't believe that it's personal so much as a political diversion

to take attention away from Kushner's blatant and highly profitable shadow diplomacy.

That's highly dangerous for our nation and the world, we're operating blind in the foreign arena because of that deal.

8. Kushner

I still do not understand why Kushner has not been charged. This is a crime done out in the open. The Saudi Government gave him $2 Billion dollars. A public bribe.

9. Why didn't 'crats investigate or

prosecute Jared when we had the chance?
We had both houses of Congress and the Executive.
Subpoenas could have come from the House, the Senate, or Garland.
Ooops, did I say Garland?
