Whenever President Biden’s Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP) is asked a question about Joe’s son, Hunter, by the press, she basically refers them to someone else – anyone else. Yes, she’s paid to answer questions concerning the president but she’s not gonna do it if Hunter’s name comes up.
KJP prefers, instead, to dodge and dodge [1] and dodge again the real questions, because, you know, they are the most transparent presidential administration EVER. Or so they say.
She’ll talk about how much the president and his son love each other and how great Hunter is doing in recovery. And she cries “No evidence, no evidence [2]!” But that’s about the extent of it. She won’t answer any serious questions about the bribes that Joe is getting through his son. None of the Democrats will. They think that the “Big Guy” is protected because he’s a Democrat and they shout like KJP does that there’s no evidence anywhere.
That is because the Democrats don’t think that bank records, videos, text messages, informant information, copies of checks, statements by the president, emails, and whistleblower testimony by the IRS and FBI whistleblower testimony constitutes “evidence.”
Whenever KJP is asked REAL questions about Hunter, she comes up with something like her recent line of: “As you know, Hunter Biden is a private citizen. And so I certainly would refer you to his ‘representatives.’”
In the meantime, she’s not the only one dodging things. Hunter recently decided to dodge a congressional subpoena from the House Republicans to testify in a congressional probe about business activities (and their ties to his father). With hubris, he called a press conference to talk about it with the help of his China-loving pal Rep. Eric Swalwell [3] (D-CA).
Hunter, believing he is above the law (because he has been) told everyone that he wasn’t showing up to answer any questions from the MAGA-right and whined that they have been targeting him for crimes with “illegitimate investigations of my family.”
Hunter whined that the MAGA-right has been portraying him in a negative light for their political purposes (the videos of his prostitutes and his drug use notwithstanding, of course) and said he is “first and foremost a son, a father, a brother and a husband” from a loving and supportive family.”
The laughable press conference had Hunter saying he was “proud” of sitting on a dozen different board of directors and proud of his efforts to “forge global business relationships.”
I’m sure he is. It was the only way he was able to pay for his prostitutes and drugs.
Hunter continued the press conference by crying about how the MAGA Republicans have impugned his character, invaded his privacy and attacked his family and friends. He also said they have ridiculed struggle with addiction, belittled his recovery and dehumanize him to embarrass and damage his father and blamed his woes on the “un-relenting Trump attack machine.”
Hunter, of course, told everyone that his father, Joe, is not financially involved with his businesses (wink-wink) but admits that during his addiction he was “extremely irresponsible” with his finances.
On the contrary, Hunter. Even under the hazy fog of addiction, you were still able to operate a high- end pay-to-play scheme remarkably well. Bravo to you.
Hunter said that the MAGA folks were turning the light of his dad’s love into darkness. It was quite a performance by Hunter. If you’d like to watch his clown show press conference, you can click here [4].
After the press conference, KJP was asked questions about Joe’s son. The only problem is that she didn’t stick to her non-answer strategy this time and that might have gotten Joe into some hot water. She told [5] the White House reporters, “You know, the president was certainly familiar with what his son was going to say.”
Familiar? Hm….So old Joe KNEW that Hunter wasn’t going to show up and answer any questions… and he knew that his son was going to defy a congressional subpoena?
Yes, the Federalist [6] reports that Politico confirmed with two other sources that Joe knew what his son was going to say at the press conference.
In a question put forth to KJP by Fox News’ journalist and a White House correspondent Peter Doocy [7] was, “You said that President Biden was familiar w/what his son was going to say…If I called my dad and said I am about to violate a congressional subpoena, he’d probably say, ‘son, you shouldn’t dop that’. Was there any attempt…to talk Hunter out of it today?”
KJP answered [8], “I don’t have anything else to add. The President was familiar with what Hunter was going to say today &, you know, look, he’s proud of his son…how he’s rebuilding his life back. He’s going to focus on…the American people. Hunter…is a private citizen…I’m just not going to get into private conversations.”
Hm… the Dems get into EVERYTHING that Trump and his family says and does but when it comes to the Biden’s, it’s hands-off for the most transparent presidential administration in history.
