That would certainly be a big surprise, not only to all of us, but certainly the committees. but i don t anticipate that to change much. again, he is appearing sort of in sense taunting them to hold him in contempt of congress. he is not going to testify in a private setting like they want, like republicans are asking him to do, so i anticipate that besides seeing hunter biden in the room, if and when he does show up, this will certainly be something that republicans will take, a step they will take in committee and further move to the full house for consideration. it s not going to be like they see hunter biden in the chair and then all is well and done and they can call this vote off. i do expect them to move forward. so julie, just back up for us and remind us why they want to talk to him so badly. is this all part of their official impeachment probe into president biden? again, there has been no direct connection between actions that hunter biden has taken in his past as a drug a ....
Senate side the day of that congressional subpoena to defy it and spit in the face of this committee. that s what you did. the question the american people are asking us is what is hunter biden so afraid of? why can t you show up for a congressional deposition? this is just a pr stunt to you. this is just a game that you are playing with the american people. you re playing with the truth. hunter biden wasn t afraid to sell access to joe biden to the highest bidder when he was in elected office. he wasn t afraid to trade on the biden brand. peddle influence and share those ill gotten gains with members of his family. he wasn t afraid to compromise the integrity of the presidency and vice presidency by involving joe biden s shady business deals with our foreign adversaries. but hunter biden you are too afraid to show up for a deposition. and you still can t today. i believe that hunter biden should be held completely in contempt. i think he should be hauled off to jail right now because ....
Witnesses they ve called and they re supposed to arrive at a solution and what do you think about the fact that the chairman on multiple occasions gave this witness the opportunity to come before the full committee and he agreed to that? we issued a congressional subpoena and i know with your constitutional law background you know exactly what that means, and he should have showed up. and because of your vote and because of your statements, you should be voting to hold this man in contempt of congress today right now. if you re going to be consistent on your own policies and your own words. gentle lady s time is expired. chair recognizes mrs. moskowitz for five minutes. thank you, mr. chairman. good to see you after a long break. so i m listening to the gentle lady from south carolina about the witness being afraid to come in front of the committee. that s interesting. he s here. he doesn t seem to be too afraid. in fact, for some reason the ....
