paul: the president has tapped secretary mayorkas to negotiate with senate republicans on a deal like this. would it be counterproductive to have the house impeach him and what do they want to accomplish by impeaching mayorkas? the senate will not convict even if the house does vote to impeach him. there is a desire to look as though they the lowest hanging fruit. i understand the desire to tell voters we are taking action. there s some real issues going down the impeachment front. you bring up the other issue. is it counterproductive doing something substantive in the short-term on the border? you have negotiations in congress between the senate and the administration, they are
to soothe trump s fragile ego by trying with no evidence, mind you, to make president biden even steven with trump on impeachment. on wednesday, two house committees passed resolutions recommending contempt of gres charges against the president s son, hunter biden. even though hunter biden was very much present for one of those hearings, yesterday. where democrats called out republicans for their lies. the witness accepted the chairman s invitation. it just so happens the witness is here. let s take a vote. who wants to hear from hunter right now today? anyone? come on. who wants to hear from hunter? no one. for some reason, it makes sense to hold hunter biden in contempt, who has tried to comply. and let me tell you why nobody wants to talk to y all behind closed doors, because y all lie. that s the bottom line. joining me now is marisa teresa kumar, msnbc contributor and msnbc political analyst
of the left. every single one of them because how they voted in the past should have voted to hold hunter biden in contempt. too scared. jesse: they are all hypocrites. is the full house going to hold hunter in contempt? is biden s justice department going to have to arrest him. i pray they do. he will be held in contempt. it will be up to particularly corrupt doj. all we can do is refer charges. jesse: it is not going to look good biden s justice department, they arrested a bunch of republicans. doesn t lay a hand on poor hunter s head. if they were honest, they would hold everybody accountable. you get to walk scot-free come into the oversight and come to
and i pointed out the hypocrisyl of the left on this issue. they every single one of them, because of howef they votd in the past with congressional subpoena power, should have voted to hold voted hunter biden in contempt. but they re too scared to do that. oh, yeah, they re all hypocrites. tempt..all of these people are.s so is the full house going the to hold hunter in contempt? and does that mean that biden s justice department is going to have to arres?t them? jus i pray that we do.tig to everything is there. he shoul havd be held in contemt like we ve done with others like we ve done with others to a particularly corrupt doj to throw him in jailit and indit him on it, because we all we can do is refer charges once it gets out of the house.harges all right. so it s not going to look good if he s voted to be held t in biden s justice department, who i believe they arrested a bunch of republicanspartment who wered in contempt, doesn t it doesn t lay a hand on poor little hunt
as well. carol, do you see a broader defense strategy emerging from hunter biden and his team from that appearance he made yesterday to the remarks he gave outside the capitol last month? there s absolutely a broader approach here because ultimately, you have to look at where this might go. if, in fact, the full house decides that they re going to hold hunter biden in contempt, then the question is what happens after that. what happens after that is it goes to the department of justice for a determination whether a criminal case is going to be brought against him, and what we saw with the january 6th committee is that four referrals were made to the justice department, and only two cases were pursued by the justice department. now, why? why were mark meadows and dan scavino not prosecuted but two others were, and that s because meadows and scavino engaged in a lot of negotiation with the committee to try to come to some
