Hunter Biden arrived on Capitol Hill on Wednesday in the face of a subpoena to testify before the House Oversight Committee. Before entering inside, though, the president's now-indicted son gave a surprise press conference. 

While at the podium, he insisted that his father had no involvement in his financial dealings.

That's quite the moving of the goalposts, and it's almost certainly purposeful. As RedState has reported, we already know that Joe Biden was involved in his son's business dealings. We know that the now-president appeared on almost a dozen business calls, extended personal meetings to his son's business partners, and even met with a Russian oligarch who had paid Hunter Biden millions for no legitimate services rendered. 

So to say that Joe Biden wasn't "financially" involved is to once again redefine what the charge even is. Were the Chinese writing Joe Biden checks directly? I would guess that never happened, but the charge is that Joe Biden knew about the corruption and benefited from it (i.e. Hunter Biden using his ill-gotten gains to pay back "loans" from his father). 

Hunter Biden also suggested he will not fully cooperate with investigators once he's in his deposition.

Unless he pleads the Fifth, he's not going to have a choice but to answer the questions presented to him. If he'd like go down that road, then he's welcome to it. Honestly, that would be the smartest thing he could do given he's staring at a long stint in prison anyway. 

Here's a bit more of the gaslighting that took place.

Rep. Eric Swalwell also showed up at the presser because surprise, surprise, he's the ridiculous hack who organized it.

Imagine being a U.S. Congressman and playing event planner for a degenerate like Hunter Biden who abused women, cheated on his taxes, and fluffed foreign dictatorships for money. Just when you think Swalwell, who was infamously accused of sleeping with a Chinese spy, couldn't get any worse, he manages the feat. 

We'll see what Hunter Biden's testimony turns into later in the day. I'm sure House Republicans will be more than happy to share the details.
