    Well all the Biden family influence selling defenders out there who have been clamoring "well why don't they subpoena them" you got your wish.

    House Oversight Committee Subpoenas Hunter and James Biden

    House Republicans subpoenaed Hunter Biden and his uncle James Biden to appear for depositions before the House Oversight Committee, Chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) said Wednesday.

    The subpoenas mark a significant escalation of the GOP's year-and-a-half-long investigation into the Biden family and signal that the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden is entering its final stages. Financial records obtained by Comer's committee show that Hunter Biden and his associates formed more than 20 shell companies and received over $24 million from foreign countries including China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and Kazakhstan, much of which was received during Joe Biden's vice presidency. Of those funds, at least $240,000 landed in Joe Biden's personal bank account as "loan repayments" from his brother, James Biden, and sister-in-law, Sara Biden, Comer revealed in recent weeks.

    "The House Oversight Committee has followed the money and built a record of evidence revealing how Joe Biden knew, was involved, and benefited from his family's influence peddling schemes. Now, the House Oversight Committee is going to bring in members of the Biden family and their associates to question them on this record of evidence," Comer said in a statement.....

    So now the House will have to do what the DOJ in their "investigation" refused to do and even gave the Biden's a heads up while they were considering it only to have those at the top squash it.

    So how hard will both of them fight it? Will The Big Guy intercede? Are pardons off the table?

    Just for fun.

    How much do you estimate the chances that Biden will be impeached after this very serious investigation?

    Based on past precedent I imagine they’ll show up in 3-4 years to testify.

    What they should do is respect the subpoenas, show up and testify. I doubt they will take the Fifth and their testimony will not incriminate anyone. I expect their testimony will show that there is a perfectly reasonable and legal explanation for all the allegations the MAGA crowd has been making.

    But the MAGA crowd still won’t be satisfied and claim they are all criminals.

    Allow me to elaborate for you

    The majority of the DC folks are corrupt, not just Democrats.

    the problem with Biden vs Trump is the media will not cover the issue like they covered BS issues such as RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA on Trump

    Yes, Democrats do get a free pass and without the Democrat media covering this, most folks won't even know that the Bidens are as corrupt as the day is long

    welcome to DC and the Democrat media

    we all have allowed this to occur

    Right, no Russian meddling. They didn’t hack the dnc. The real problem is some politicians brother using his family name to get ahead.

    I do not hunt nor eat fox.

    DC is as corrupt as it gets. Please note that I am not accusing any 1 party be it Democrat or Republican

    IF you pay attention to any of the major media outlets from the USA and can say that they are not biased to the Democrat party, then you are being disingenuous.

    like i said

    disingenuous.

    Most of the times it is what they do not say or do not report

    Look no further than the accusations of Trump peeing on a bed or being a Russian agent.
    It was all fabricated BS yet the media reported on it each night despite it being false. They even continued to report months after it was debunked. Why is that?

    They did their job in spinning a narrative.

    Why aren't the media talking about the money trail to Biden?

    Again, you refuse to see because it defeats your beliefs

    As for Trump, he is and always has been a blowhard. He used to be a darling of the Democrat party, till he wasn't

    The media are not talking about a Biden “money trail” for the same reason Fox fired Carlson. If they just make up **** without substance then they stand to lose in court just like Fox did with Dominion. So far the “money trail” has been long on speculation and short on substance

    Defend the media giving countless airtime to Adam Schiff who claimed to have proof that Trump was a Russian operative. Or even Nancy, the speaker of the house also got countless airtime.

    And, Schiff and Pelosi both knew it was all fabricated BS yet they made the claims, the media pushed the false narrative and it got the intended results

    But, since you are being disingenuous, you refuse to acknowledge the reality because your fantasy would then be shattered. As long as the narrative feeds your beliefs then it must be the truth. I really do feel sorry for you because something made you that way. You were born with the ability to see, hear and process facts. And when the facts were later found to be lies/incorrect, you were born with the ability to accept reality

    Shoot, you learned that Santa didn't really come into your home and accepted that. What happened to you? Why is it that you now will believe only that which feeds your prejudice?

    huh?

    Do you acknowledge that the Trump/Russia narrative and Schiff claiming to have proof was BS?
    The media led with that.
    Schiff did not have proof
    If you cannot admit those facts, then you cannot see the media bias that exists

    Trump prior to being POTUS made a lot of money for tv networks

    This thread is about the Biden subpoenas and that the media will not cover it; why is that?

    Before answering, you must use the same measurement as to why the media did push the BS and Schiff ?

    You complained about the airtime - has Trump not gotten at least equal airtime? And I am not going to answer the crap about Schiff until YOU post a link with actual facts - not “Fox facts” but real evidence

    Oh! And the very fact that this thread exists shows the media IS covering the Biden subpoenas

    no, you spun about airtime. You posted a silly-ass meme about conspiracy. You then get called to the rug about your refusal to admit that media bias toward the Democrat party exists in the USA. I cited an example, yet you still spin.

    I again state that I feel sorry for you. You only want to believe that which feeds your prejudice, even when facts don't support your desire.

    Note that right after you'd claimed to be impartial, and not singling out any given party-- you singled out the Democratic party.
    BTW, it's a dead giveaway that any person is biased against Democrats, when they mis-name their party, the "Democrat Party."
    So it goes w/out saying, who is being disingenuous. Speaking of which, do you not count FOX News, as a "major media outlet?" Or are you saying that FOX is biased, in favor of Democrats?

    Soliloquy:

    Speaking of feeding your prejudice:
    LOL-- Really? Trump was a "darling" of the Democratic Party-- meaning that he was taken seriously, as a potential political candidate? When was that? Please don't spare the supporting snips.


    Probably, because it's spicy.


    But these stories did nothing, to hurt Trump. What lost him re-election, was the way he'd dealt with Covid.

    Some of the Right wing bullshit about Biden, however, seems likely to be at least partially responsible for Biden's low poll numbers, compared to how well the economy is doing.


    I do not recall Schiff making any false claims, unlike those we hear all the time, from members of the GOP-- who FOX will put on the air, btw, endlessly. Hey, they gotta fill the time that used to be taken up by the pillow guy!

    But I'm open to changing my mind; please link Schiff, supposedly lying. I have a feeling he will only be saying that he thinks he has strong evidence which, FYI, I am sure was how he felt. Again, though, please supply the clip, and then we will see what there is to your accusation, and proof.

    Not since 2008.

    The year he started going crazy claiming Obama was born in Kenya.

    Good!

    The House is doing the job that the Justice Department and FBI refuse to do, because “The Big Guy” is covering for Hunter’s illegal activities.

    As for “Traitor Joe” getting impeached, it should happen, but it won’t. Besides that, another government shutdown is looming. The Republicans always get burned and blamed when that happens.
