According to a Tuesday letter addressed to committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), Biden agreed to testify before the committee on Dec. 13 — as long as the hearing was public. In the letter, Biden’s attorneys quoted Comer’s own demand, issued in November, that given Biden’s “willingness to address this investigation publicly up to this point, we would expect him to be willing to testify before Congress.”
The letter added that open-door proceedings “would prevent selective leaks, manipulated transcripts, doctored exhibits, or one-sided press statements.”
Republicans would not have it. “Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else,” Comer wrote in a statement. “That won’t stand with House Republicans.”
To be fair, you have no way of possibly knowing he’s stayed clean.
Also, from what I understand, the guy is packing a massive dong, so I’m sure that helps too. Much less embarrassing than it could have been for him due to our societal norms or whatever.
Edit: not sure why this comment would be controversial. As a “former” addict myself, I know first hand how well some people can hide their use. Anyone who has ever experienced addiction, and relapsed, would tell you that you really can’t know for sure. You just can’t.
Unless you’re testing hair samples or some shit.
Sure I do. He is the number one subject of interest to the entire right-wing media machine. The political paparazzi are all over everything he does. Yet he is able to meet with his attorneys and prosecutors and address questions about possibly testifying before Congress again. In all of these brief public appearances he appears clean and sober.
And that doesn’t even include all the everyday clean living that no one is reporting on because it’s not news, but would be worldwide news INSTANTLY if there were any indication whatsoever that he is no longer clean and sober.
If Hunter Biden falls off the wagon again, the entire world will know it and probably the same day.
