More Swalwell from the Hunter Biden deposition

[BootinUp]

SWALWELL: Any time your father was in government, prior to the Presidency or before, did he ever operate a hotel?

BIDEN: No, he has never operated a hotel.

SWALWELL: So he’s never operated a hotel where foreign nationals spent millions at that hotel while he was in office?

BIDEN: No, he has not.

SWALWELL: Did your father ever employ in the Oval Office any direct family member to also work in the Oval Office?

BIDEN: My father has never employed any direct family members, to my knowledge.

SWALWELL: While your father was President, did anyone in the family receive 41 trademarks from China?

BIDEN: No.

SWALWELL: As President and the leader of the party, has your father ever tried to install as the chairperson of the party a daughter-in-law or anyone else in the family?

BIDEN: No. And I don’t think that anyone in my family would be crazy enough to want to be the chairperson of the DNC.

SWALWELL: Has your father ever in his time as an adult been fined $355 million by any State that he worked in?

BIDEN: No, he has not, thank God.

SWALWELL: Anyone in your family ever strike a multibillion dollar deal with the Saudi Government while your father was in office?

BIDEN: No.

SWALWELL: That’s all I’ve got.

1. Snort!

[SouthernDem4ever]

40. Snort too!

[Charlie Chapulin]

2. Brilliant!

[BOSSHOG]

3. A 30 second read

And comer is (should be) down for the count. But NOOOO. The comerian tactics will continue until the dead horse is unrecognizable. And bereft of a fetal heartbeat. At which time the bishop will declare the death suicide.

Here Here Mr Swallwell.

[superpatriotman]

4. Bravo

Where’s the rest please?

5. Hunter Biden Redacted transcript

https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Hunter-Biden-Transcript_Redacted.pdf

[niyad]

8. wow. 229 pages?

[BootinUp]

9. Yeah. Searching it for keywords of interest

might be the best approach.

[niyad]

10. That, and a drink!

[BootinUp]

12. Or you can read the summary in the article here

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218732660

No paywall, good read.

[niyad]

14. Thank you, I did read it. Much easier. I noticed one rather bizarre omission,

though. The deaths of his mother, and later, his brother (who survived the accident with him) was pointed out, but failed to mention that his sister also died in that crash.

[Delphinus]

47. I will

second you in a drink!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. Starts with lots of redacted names -- do they fear their own MAGAts?

[BootinUp]

24. I'm not sure why they are redacted. nt

[CincyDem]

57. I believe the only redactions are staff names from both sides. Not uncommon. n/t

[Brother Buzz]

42. My first impression: They are protecting all the MAGA idiots asking really dumb questions

[John1956PA]

6. Thanks for this. I just now posted it on my Facebook page. n/t

[struggle4progress]

7. :)

[Cha]

11. Ww.. Brilliant!

[SergeStorms]

13. Tune in for tomorrow's episode of....

"AS THE REPUBLICAN TURNS BEET RED!"

Perfect snark by Eric Swalwell 👌.
You have to love that guy. You have to!

[niyad]

15. Alas, for them to do so would require a sense of decency, and an ability

to feel shame.

[dickthegrouch]

45. They must feel something

They would not be whining so much otherwise

[niyad]

53. That is a very good point.

[MustLoveBeagles]

35. I do love that guy

A strong Democrat that doesn't take any shit the maga's throw at him.

[chicoescuela]

16. We have a lot of smart (asses) guys of our team. Nice work Congressman

[Skittles]

17. outstanding

[Drum]

18. Pure gold!

[ShazzieB]

19. Eric Swalwell is amazing!

He's kind of a wise ass but in the best, most effective way!

[PatSeg]

27. Yes, my favorite kind of wise ass

That was absolutely brilliant!

[soldierant]

44. It's better to be a wise ass than

a dumb ass, as my SH is fond of pointing out.

[TeamProg]

20. kick

[democrank]

21. Perfect !

Swalwell….verbal hatchet thrower

[DFW]

22. I'm betting that half the Republicans present never even realized how they were being ridiculed

Swalwell just tossed a 1000 pound steamshovel load of shit into their smug Republican faces, and half of them thought it was cotton candy.

[niyad]

43. Exactly!

[IcyPeas]

25. Mr. Swallwell.... fabulous

[Oopsie Daisy]

26. He's good at that, isn't he? I love his cuts, jabs, and effortless backhanded swipes.

We need more like him. Michigan could use someone like him.

[Midnight Writer]

28. This explains why the Republicans were so insistent that the interview be behind closed doors.

Their voters will never read a transcript.

But they are susceptible to soundbites and videoclips.

They couldn't afford footage of this getting out to the public.

[WiVoter]

29. Testify!

Brilliant!

[republianmushroom]

30. That should be enough, but it won't be.

Love the questions and answers.

[world wide wally]

31. Every Democrat on that committee should ask the exact same questions to drive home the point!

[maxsolomon]

32. I hope that some Dems asked relevant questions that addressed Repuke dirty tricks

and the falsity of the central accusations of the inquiry.

It's too important for snark. This isn't funny.

[Wild blueberry]

33. Pure genius

Thank you.

[llashram]

34. succinctly brilliant

[spanone]

36. K&R

[twodogsbarking]

37. And I don't think that anyone in my family would be crazy enough to want to be the chairperson of the DNC.

That, my friends. is a burn.

[PCIntern]

38. Terrific....

He’s got a wonderful sensayuma.

[ffr]

39. A brilliant way to contrast the sham investigation while putting shade on the Trump Crime Family's

criminal activities.

TY, Rep. Swalwell!

[malaise]

41. Too good

Rec

[Catherine Vincent]

46. Woah!

I love this man!

[Blue Owl]

48. Suck on that Diarrhea Donny you fat piece of shit

[oldsoftie]

49. Excellent. nt

[kacekwl]

50. NEVER

will that be heard on the six o'clock news. We will hear is Hunter Biden grilled by Congressional committee for possible corruption.

[Freethinker65]

51. Hooray! I, among many others, was hoping someone would do this.

I hope the OP was not satire!

[BootinUp]

55. It is in the transcript Freethinker. See post#5 this thread. nt

[OAITW r.2.0]

52. A masterclass on using a House investigation to expose the real issue with corrupt family practices in the WH.

[Martin68]

54. Bazinga!

[AZLD4Candidate]

56. SWALWELL: Did your father get at least $8 million from China since he became president?

Biden: No.

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4387605-trump-businesses-took-in-nearly-8-million-from-foreign-governments-house-democrats/

Former President Trump took in at least $7.8 million from foreign entities in 20 countries, according to a new report from Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, payments to his various businesses that critics say could violate a constitutional prohibition on accepting funding from foreign governments.

The volume of foreign payments during Trump’s presidency — the majority coming from China — is detailed in one of the most exhaustive reviews of Trump’s business dealings with foreign governments while in office.
