How convenient would it be if every time someone lied, their pants actually did burst into flames? Nothing keeps a man honest like the threat of spontaneous human combustion. I’m pretty sure if that were a real thing, the entirety of Washington, D.C. would go up in flames before the end of a typical work day. I tell you one person who would already be feeling a bit toasty is President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. I’m not sure the younger son of the president has ever spoken a drop of truth in his entire life. And he’s apparently not about to start now.
According to a new report from Just the News, Hunter Biden gave testimony before Congress on Wednesday, where he stated, emphatically, that he did not get his dear old dad involved in his business affairs. Yeah, there’s piles and piles of evidence to prove otherwise, which is going to be considered as the Committees involved in the impeachment inquiries are continuing their investigation into potential corruption committed by the president during his tenure as vice-president in the Obama years.
“I am here today to provide the Committees with the one uncontestable fact that should end the false premise of this inquiry: 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,” the younger son of the president went on to say in his opening statement which was by Punchbowl News.
More from the report:
The first son’s commentsabout his father changed slightly from December, when he said, “My father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma.” [Emphasis added]
At that time, Hunter Biden had been scheduled to testify before Congress in a closed-door deposition, but he only agreed to a public hearing. House Republicans had threatened to hold Hunter Biden in contempt, but he ultimately agreed last month that he would sit for a deposition.
Before Congress on Wednesday, Hunter Biden also acknowledged what he called his “mistakes,” but said that he was fully to blame.
“To be clear, I have made mistakes in my life, and I have squandered opportunities and privileges that were afforded to me. I know that. I am responsible for that. And I am making amends for that. But my mistakes and shortcomings are my own and not my father’s, who has done nothing but devote his entire life to public service and trying to make this country a better place to live,” the first son explained.
The closed-door testimony will not be recorded. The interview with Hunter Biden comes just a week after his uncle, James Biden, testified concerning allegations involving the family’s foreign business ventures.
It will be interesting to see if conservatives have enough evidence to finally bring charges against the president and if we might see those who engaged in these illegal practices finally held accountable for what they did.
