contentious hearing. seeing how he came and did the press conference last time, i mean, you know, that was a pretty aggressive strategy. my colleagues, frankly, across the aisle should have expected something based on that previous move by hunter. that being said, i think it was pretty smart for him to come and show the american people that that my colleagues across the aisle don t want the truth to get out, they just want to continue to spin. so i think you re probably in agreement with that, a smart move on biden s part just by showing up. what does that show the doj? the congress members who were not expecting him? i think for the congress members first, it puts him in an awkward bind it makes them vulnerable to saying why are you afraid to have him testify in open court. there s a good not open court, open hearing. there s a good practical reason to not want to put him out fresh with no private preparation because your time is limited,
