Not only is it reprehensible to shield January 6 rioters from prosecution, Lofgren told anchor Jake Tapper, it doesn't even make any sense — because law enforcement has the unredacted footage anyway.

"What did you make of Speaker Johnson's comments clearly saying he wants to blur faces of rioters before releasing the footage to ... protect them from retaliation not only from the general public but from the Department of Justice," said Tapper. "His office putting out a response that he meant only private citizens, that's not what he said."

"Basically, it tells me two things," said Lofgren. "One, he's trying to protect criminals, this is really obstruction of justice. But also, he's a bozo. Doesn't he realize that all of this video is already being shared with the FBI?"

Comer is now threatening Hunter Biden with contempt of Congress charges if he doesn't appear for a closed door hearing Dec 15th, when he has stated numerous times that he would be happy for Hunter to testify 'publicly'.

....
Republican House Oversight Committee Chairman Jim Comer is now threatening Hunter Biden with "contempt" of Congress if he refuses to testify behind closed doors. The President's son has repeatedly offered to testify in public.

Abbe Lowell, the attorney with "close ties inside the Trump White House" who is now representing Hunter Biden, Wednesday morning again reiterated his demand that any testimony before the House Oversight Committee be in a public hearing, and he used Chairman Comer's own words to make his point.

But Comer, who is moving toward impeaching President Joe Biden despite having offered no actual proof of any impeachable offense, was quick to tell Politico: “He’s been subpoenaed. We expect him to show up. They don’t get to make the rules.”

“I would expect Congress to hold the president’s son in contempt,” Comer said, if Hunter Biden refuses to testify in a closed-door session.

"As indicated in my November 28, 2023, letter," Lowell wrote to Chairman Comer earlier on Wednesday, in a letter published by The Washington Examiner, "Mr. Biden has offered to appear at a hearing on the December 13, 2023, date you have reserved, or another date this month, to answer any question pertinent and relevant to the subject matter stated in your November 8, 2023, letter."

Lowell made clear his motivation for a public hearing before cameras.

"He is making this choice because the Committee has demonstrated time and again it uses closed-door sessions to manipulate, even distort, the facts and misinform the American public—a hearing would ensure transparency and truth in these proceedings."

But Lowell cited Comer's own words from a few of his numerous media appearances to demonstrate how the Chairman welcomed an open-door public hearing. The Daily Beast's Justin Baragona noted that Lowell, in his letter, "again cites Comer practically daring Hunter to publicly testify."

Lowell cited Comer's remarks on October 31 on "The Benny Show."

“We’re in the downhill phase of this investigation now because we have so many documents, and we can bring these people in for depositions or committee hearings, whichever they choose , . . . .”

Also, his September 13 statement on Newsmax.

“Hunter Biden is more than welcome to come in front of the committee . . . he’s invited today. We will drop everything.”

He also cited Comer's "November 8, 2023, statement in your cover letter addressed to me: 'Given your client’s willingness to address this investigation publicly up to this point, we would expect him to be willing to testify before Congress."

(Italic emphasis included in Lowell's letter.)

"We look forward to working out the schedule," Lowell concluded.

Yes, Bowman was wrong. He went to court, pled guilty, paid the fine. Apologized...

Family values .. ban the books, live together sans marriage, pose with questionable animal body parts, beyond animals shot.... Truly cringe worthy....


Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle received a decidedly strange Christmas gift from their friends this year.

The couple was all smiles as they posed while holding several bones that came from animal genitalia — known as a baculum — that a hunter pal of theirs from Alaska gave them at the annual holiday get-together.

At the Colorado 14th amendment trial..


Where is all that coming from?” a Supreme Court justice asked. “You’ve added a whole lot of conditions there.”

To this, Gessler replied, "We're all sort of making it up at the end of the day."

This comment, shared on social media, spurred both outrage and laughter from followers of the contentious legal battle.

"So basically, 'Yeah I got nothing, but he definitely didn't do it,'" summarized Bill DeMayo.

Quipped X user Amy: "Trump’s Law Firm: Dewey Cheatem & Howe."

Gessler’s further argument that the Jan. 6 rioters were not armed at the level “necessary to overcome” police drew rebuke from Justice William Hood, CNN reports.

“There were a lot of makeshift weapons that did a lot of damage,” Hood reportedly said, noting more than 100 officers were hurt.
