Whenever I see and listen to Jamie Raskin (D-DE), I feel the need to wash my hands or shower. Raskin is a prototypical slimy politician who can pontificate on any subject and never tell the truth about any. He rose to prominence as part of the team that schemed to impeach Donald Trump and never let the facts or truth get in the way of his version. I think Raskin believes if he talks long enough, his listeners will not even remember the question, let alone the accuracy of Raskin’s answer.

Today, Raskin teamed up with Hunter Biden for a dog and pony show during a hearing of the House Oversight Committee. Seeing Biden and Raskin together gave me visions of Raskin holding the camera during Hunter’s famous PornHub videos. They are both such dirty human beings. Appearing with his attorney, Abbe Lowell, Hunter Biden sat silently in the front row as the committee chair and vice-chair delivered opening statements to a hearing dominated by partisan bickering. Hunter was not expected at the hearing, and it was obvious that this event was coordinated between Hunter and Jamie. Both were prepared and had rehearsed their roles. Hunter’s role was to sit stone-faced and say nothing. At the given time, he, Lowell, and Kevin Morris, Hunter’s Sugar Brother, stood in unison and walked out of the proceedings to address the media.

In the meantime, Raskin was playing his part. In a long soliloquy, he told his version of how the Republicans were using Hunter Biden in a long-shot effort to get to Joe Biden. Raskin’s staff held up printed signs highlighting his speech, evidence this was a pre-planned made-for-TV event. The Representatives traded barbs and insults in an exciting session rarely seen in the Capitol. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) asked, “Who bribed Hunter Biden to be here,” criticizing the surprise appearance. “You are the epitome of white privilege. Coming in to the Oversight Committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed. What are you afraid of? You have no balls to come up here,” she said. There were calls for Biden’s immediate arrest and incarceration for defying a Congressional subpoena. When Representative Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) spoke, the Biden trio stood and exited, resulting in a verbal beatdown of Biden by Green. Her accusation was that Biden was no match for a strong Conservative woman.

Lowell gave a prepared statement to the media, further reinforcing that this day was choreographed. Biden said little during his visit except for an exchange of words with a FOX reporter. Fox Business’ Hillary Vaughn asked Hunter why he put his father on speakerphone during his meetings. Hunter asked if she had a father and if he ever called her. Vaughn said yes, but never while she was in a business meeting. She landed the punch, and Biden was heard saying she was dangerous.

Hunter Biden is not a good person. We should not judge others, but in Hunter’s case, he has forced that judgment on us. He has not been a good father or husband. He has not been a good son in that he has spent a lifetime profiting from his father’s position and name. He has acted in a fashion to bring shame to the name but shows no remorse. He has extorted millions from foreign countries and companies and helped build a family fortune for his father that the job itself never could. He developed a way to launder millions with a bogus artist career. He has neglected to pay millions in taxes, and at the same time, his father is declaring war on Americans who have done the same. The hypocrisy is palpable. He has defied Congress and is using his father to beat the courts. Hunter Biden is not a good person. He may be winning some battles, but ultimately, he may lose the war. Even his corrupt father may not have enough strings to pull to keep the guilty verdict away from Hunter.
