Particularly hilarious is the 180 that Team Biden is already pulling less than 24 hours after rolling out this new, er, strategy. Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich reports that Hunter is not actually admitting that the laptop from hell contained his data — only that it was alleged to be his data by the people he wants prosecuted . . . evidently for stealing his property that, on second thought, wasn’t really his property . . . if you can follow this dizzying argument. …
There’s not much else to say, except this: If I were running a House committee, and I’d been listening to the media–Democratic complex swoon for over a year about how effective and invaluable the January 6 Committee was, I’d be awfully tempted to take a page out of that committee’s book. You know: Subpoena Hunter, disregard his lawyers’ inevitable protest about the unfairness of it all, and then do a video interview to see if the son of the president of the United States would testify about his activities and his father’s involvement in them, or if he’d instead decide it might be better to take the Fifth a couple of hundred times. As the January 6 committee illustrated, that’s the sort of thing prime-time viewing was made for.
[I think Andy’s being a little tongue-in-cheek here. My headline is also a bit tongue-in-cheek. But Democrats set these precedents, and they should be forced to live with them. — Ed]
