Why Is The GOP Afraid To Have Hunter Biden Testify Publicly?

5 min readNov 30, 2023

The GOP’s Biden Impeachment Charades suffered more humiliation when Hunter Biden agreed to testify publicly, much to Comer’s infuriated chagrin, since that’s exactly what he doesn’t want.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the Republican’s (GOP) lead ‘investigator’ into the GOP’s Biden impeachment charades shitshow doesn’t appear too happy about Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, agreeing to testify publicly about the alleged corruption they’ve been desperately searching for over the past eleven plus months. Why might that be?

One would think Comer and his other GOP Trump-loving vermin would be happy to have Hunter testify in public, unless of course they’re afraid of what he might say and being embarrassed even more so than they already have been. And they should be given the fact that anyone with half a brain cell is well aware of how pathetic the GOP’s Biden impeachment charades really are. Hunter offered to testify in a public House Oversight Committee hearing as part of a reportedly new aggressive defense strategy his legal team decided to adopt. So far, the GOP’s farcical impeachment shitshow has been a massive failure which has wasted millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars and time that hasn’t boded well for them.

Comer has demanded for months that Biden testify, even going so far as to subpoena him, President Biden’s brother, and other Biden family members and friends, though there are legal questions about the GOP’s subpoena process, so there is a good chance that if challenged in a court of law, it would further embarrass the GOP and reveal yet more of the underhanded chicanery they’re been utilizing for almost a year now to try and claim that President Biden is corrupt as revenge for impeaching former twice-impeached president* Donald J. Trump — a convicted fraud, insurrectionist and rapist that has also been indicted four times and is facing 91 felonies so far — who actually deserved to be impeached for his presidential crime sprees.

It’s Time To Investigate The Investigators

Despite Comer’s demands, he quickly rejected Hunter’s offer to testify publicly. Comer can’t handle Biden testifying publicly for obvious reasons. If everyone saw and heard Hunter Biden testifying, Comer and his other Trump-loving vermin wouldn’t be able to manipulate data, distort facts, and purposely misinform the public like they can if the hearing is private. The last time they held a public hearing — the one and only time — it ended up being a disgraceful embarrassment for the GOP who claim that Biden is just trying to game the system, even though those claims are pure projection since the GOP has been gaming it for over eleven months now.

Then there is always the fact that Comer’s impropriety hijacked the GOP’s Biden impeachment charades when it was revealed that Comer had partaken in shady dealings with his brother that involved offshore bank accounts and questionably legal transactions. Comer offered to testify about those dealings as long as Biden testified too, but apparently Comer is a bigger pussy than previously thought (no offense ladies) given that he has since reneged on that offer. If you investigate Comer’s potentially fraudulent transactions and follow the money, that will open a whole new can of worms that will drive Comer and the GOP crazy, and most likely provide more evidence of corruption on their part.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), ranking Democratic member of the House Oversight Committee, offered a scathing response mocking Comer and the GOP for rejecting Hunter’s offer to testify publicly, noting:

“Let me get this straight. After wailing and moaning for ten months about Hunter Biden and alluding to some vast unproven family conspiracy, after sending Hunter Biden a subpoena to appear and testify, Chairman Comer and the Oversight Republicans now reject his offer to appear before the full Committee and the eyes of the world and to answer any questions that they pose? What an epic humiliation for our colleagues and what a frank confession that they are simply not interested in the facts and have no confidence in their own case or the ability of their own Members to pursue it. After the miserable failure of their impeachment hearing in September, Chairman Comer has now apparently decided to avoid all Committee hearings where the public can actually see for itself the logical, rhetorical and factual contortions they have tied themselves up in. The evidence has shown time and again President Biden has committed no wrongdoing, much less an impeachable offense. Chairman Comer’s insistence that Hunter Biden’s interview should happen behind closed doors proves it once again. What the Republicans fear most is sunlight and the truth.”

Hunter Has Legitimate Concerns About Testifying Privately

Hunter Biden’s offer to testify publicly before the House Oversight Committee came in a letter from his attorney Abbe Lowell. It requested a public hearing due to concerns that the GOP would selectively leak, manipulate, and flat out selectively fabricate more delusions to try and further their duplicitous agenda. Holding the hearing publicly would prevent that while allowing the rest of the country to see for themselves that Comer and his co-conspiring Trump-loving vermin are desperately trying to create chaos to deflect from their treasonous leader’s crime spree — which many currently sitting GOP members in Congress aided and abetted.

Because Hunter Biden’s testimony could be one of the greatest ‘put up or shut up’ moments of this election cycle, it’s not going to happen. Comer and his co-conspiring Trump-loving vermin can’t handle the world knowing the truth about their ignominious chicanery and failure to deflect from Trump’s crime sprees. It’s a lose-lose situation for them and they know it. Comer and company are terrified that the American people will be able to see just how desperate and pathetic they are — and as usual, their stupidity is in overdrive:

The GOP has been desperately trying to gin up controversy with Hunter since 2019 when Rudy Giuliani created his Ukraine fairy tale involving a laptop that allegedly belonged to him — though it has been thoroughly debunked more than once — and they still can’t find any evidence on him or his father despite their best efforts to make their fantasies stick. Since taking over the House of Representatives with a slim majority earlier this year, the GOP has lied repeatedly about President Joe Biden’s non-existent corruption. I have documented their chicanery more than once and will continue doing so while they continue imploding and their delusions unfold.

Hunter Biden called Comer’s bluff, and it worked. If Comer and his co-conspiring Trump-loving vermin actually had any evidence of corruption on Hunter or his father, they would welcome the offer to testify in public to present their case to the American public. But they don’t, as we’ve seen with every other high-profile witness who has testified secretly and had their lack of evidence twisted into false fabrications of guilt that were easily debunked once the transcripts were released and they don’t want to be embarrassed again. It’s just more of the GOP Biden impeachment charades imploding, and the GOP can’t handle it or the fact that the rest of the country is on to them, and they still have absolutely nothing to show for it. Stay tuned.
