Gomer and Gym get their Contempt of Congress citation through the House -> it goes to Garland, Garland takes no action -> Republicans howl about Biden's DoJ corruption for failing to go after Hunter-> House Republicans vote on articles of impeachment because of Biden's corrupt political influence over the DoJ.
They're gonna do it anyway. This is their 2024 strategy. Fuck 'em. I'm done handwringing about what the horrible, terrible, deadly Republicans are going to do.
Love it. Either he testifies live, and you bring your A game and embarrass yourselves in real time, or we will choose the route Republicans always take and ignore your subpoenas until there is transparency.
I'm no attorney but I doubt Garland will try to indict Hunter if the GOP House refers it for criminal contempt, and if he does, any court, especially in DC, would consent. Because courts generally do not issue orders in cases where evidence can be obtained outside of a court order. That's why they sometimes tell the parties to negotiate rather than making the court waste time deciding. So Comer is going to have to come up with some convincing argument about why a public hearing that Hunter has consented to and said he would answer any relevant questions cannot provide the same information a nonpublic deposition would provide. Otherwise the court will say go with the public committee hearing.
Who the hell voted for this egregious eejit? Why would anyone want to be represented in Congress by a guy whose head looks like the blunt end of a picnic butt ham with mean little piggy eyes and a nose and the kind of unearthly mouth you see on the characters on Robot Chicken drawn on crudely with a Sharpie? Is Bakersfield the real, original Village of the Damned?
If I was one of the producers of "Veep" I would seriously consider new series maybe called "Subpenis" . I mean most of the scripts are already in the Congressional record and the rest on Fox interviews. The jokes write themselves
There was a British comedy series called "Yes, Minister," the main character the Prime Minister. The writers had contact with people in Margaret Thatcher's administration who fed them story ideas from things actually happening.
Fortunately, there is no precedent for anyone just ignoring a congressional subpoena like a common Jim Jordan. Otherwise Comer's bullshit, er, very serious arguments and whatnot, would be laughable.
(meanwhile, over in the time stamped universe where Jimmy Bob Comer (JBC) and Jim Joe Bob Jordan (JJBJ) have somehow found themselves in Congress giving a joint press conference. Suddenly the superhero known as Diamond Dick (AKA Hunter Biden) comes crashing through a nearby wall using some kind of Super Battering Ram Strap-On...)
JBC: Holy sheeeeeit!
JJBJ: Curses! It's Diamond Dick!
New York Times: Diamond Dick! How is destroying that wall hurting your father's presidency?
DD: It doesn't. Next question.
Wall Street Journal: Diamond Dick! You just destroyed a wall in the Capitol! That's vandalism! How is this any different from the insurrection of 1/6/2021?
DD: It ain't vandalism if I crash through a wall to stop a crime. Those guys broke through windows to steal shit. Next question.
People Magazine: Any truth to the rumor that you and Scarlett Johansson are honeymooning on Taylor and Travis' private space station?
DD: No comment. OK that's enough for you guys. I'm actually here to fuck these two up because the Balance Of The Universe REQUIRES they get fucked up. Then I have to get back to Scar........ ooopps!
JBC: Aha! Caught you Diamond Dick!
JBJJ: See there? That's what we call a smoking gun!
DD: I could make a crude joke here about smoking guns and these two but why bother? Anyone here want to see me fuck these two up?
Maybe Hunter should just turn up to the next committee meeting and wait outside the door.
"Like assholes, Lowell and Comer quoted a bunch of times Comer had gone on TV"
Comer is at the point where he's working against himself eh?
You know where this is going.

James Comer is a stinky pile of crap
I think you forgot to add "pigfuck".

Kentucky Fried Clouseau is the worst investigator ever.

A bunch of nasty, hateful MAGAt chuds, that's who.
Irredeemable assholes and neo-fascists.
I fear you may be right

If it hasn’t been said already: Beanies weenies libel!!
The only ray of hope regarding a possible future Trump reign of terror is that the persecutors will be these remarkably incompetent guys.
Isn't that their Brand?
he gets it backwards because his party's favorite pastime is ignoring subpoenas.
PRIVATE depositions, when they are requested, are ALWAYS requested by those subpoenaed...
Every day it gets harder and harder to comply with Wonkette's comment policy...

yep...you don't get to break the rules then demand others follow them...
And if you do then you might be a Republican.
