In a new excellent clip, the consistently awesome Brian Tyler Cohen shows a reporter exposing the hypocrisy of a republican, Representative Greg Murphy, saying before it has even happened that he would vote to enforce a subpoena, contempt of Congress, if Hunter and James Biden don’t show up for a Congressional hearing after being issued a Congressional subpoena. The hypocrisy is evident because he voted against issuing a contempt of Congress charge against Steve Bannon when Steve Bannon did ignore a subpoena issued to Steve Bannon to appear before Congress. The republican US representative tried to justify this by saying that Steve Bannon is different because Steve Bannon isn’t related to the president and is a private citizen. However, the reporter points out that Steve Bannon was an employee of the former president of the United States and neither Hunter Biden nor James Biden, the president’s brother, are employees of the federal government. In the process of exposing this hypocrisy, Brian has Representative Dan Goldman on this clip and Representative Goldman reviewed what little was claimed to be evidence against President Biden and completely smashed it.
Representative Dan Goldman said, “Well basically all they have is, right now is, two things they point to. One is an FBI document of an interview a confidential source who spoke to someone we now know to be the head of the Ukranian energy company (Mr. Zlochevsky), Burisma, on whose board Hunter Biden served. In that document, he alleged that he paid five million dollars, I think, it looks like a five million dollar bribe. Either Joe, Hunter or both. The Trump Department of Justice had that information available to them when Bill Barr set up a repository for Rudy Guliani’s conspiracy theory within the Department of Justice to see if anything could be made from that. After a review by the Trump Department, they found clearly that this information was not credible and they did not pursue an investigation. Perhaps part of the reason they found it was not credible is that the source itself after a meeting has gone on record to say that he not only never paid a bribe, but never had a single conversation with Joe Biden.
Then, in addition, they have Hunter Biden’s business partner (Devon Archer) who says that Joe Biden, that Hunter put Joe Biden on the phone approximately twenty times over a decade to say, ‘hello’ to some of Hunter’s business partners. Therefore, they are making the allegations and this is quite a stretch that Joe was using his official position to help Hunter. But that same witness, their own witness, said that they never discussed business, that Joe Biden never discussed business with the business associates, never discussed business with Hunter, did not know what was going on, never benefited from any of Hunter’s business. So, they are pinning a lot on these non credible and very weak evidence to say that Joe Biden committed some sort of high crime and misdemeanor. And it is quite clear from the evidence that they have, not only did he not commit a high crime or misdemeanor, but he didn’t commit a low crime or misdemeanor. He didn’t commit any crime or misdemeanor. “
Representative Jared Moskowitz said, “I am going to do the story even quicker than you just did it. Two brothers loan each other money, they pay it back, not in office. End of story. One brother gives the other brother money. The other brother pays it back. No one is elected. At all. They are private citizens. What are we talking about? Oh well, it could be this, it could be that, we think it’s this, we think it’s that. No evidence. We’re back to the same thing. Listen, James (Comer) this is your friend Jared talking to you. Don’t make me continue to embarrass you in committee. I mean I’ll bring the whiteboard again. I’ll start drawing things. Okay, don’t make me do it. I actually feel bad when I make you look like a fool by exposing what you are doing in committee and by the way you don’t listen to me, even your republicans that with you on committee, they think you’re a jackass. They’ve told me that. Because you’ve embarrassed not just yourself, but you’ve embarrassed them! That impeachment hearing was embarrassing! Your own witness said that there wasn’t any evidence. So do yourself a favor, take a breath, take a breath, and don’t have a new hearing over two brothers loaning each other money when nobody was in office. “
Comer demanded evidence that a check from James Biden was repayment of a loan even though repayment of loan was on the memo part of the check and even though he had the evidence of Joe Biden giving a loan in his possession already. He also claimed that because the address listed on the wire was President Biden’s home address that this meant that President Biden was involved in Hunter’s business activities. However, it has already been explained that President Biden’s address was the only permanent address Hunter had and it was the address on Hunter’s driver's license.
