ChiGoose Posted May 10 Posted May 10 In case anyone is wondering how contempt generally works in the House: A committee subpoenas someone to testify. They refuse. The committee then votes to send a finding of contempt to the floor. The entire House votes on the contempt motion. If it succeeds, the House refers it to the DoJ. Both Bannon and Navarro (as well as Dan Scavino and I think at least one other person) refused to testify to the Jan 6 committee. The committee voted to hold them in contempt and sent it to the whole House. The House then voted to refer the charges to the DoJ who filed charges against Bannon and Navarro (but notably not against everybody who was referred). Hunter Biden refused a subpoena to testify so the House committee voted to hold him in contempt. Before a floor vote was scheduled, Hunter re-engaged the committee to negotiate his appearance. They held off on sending the contempt motion to the floor and were able to get Hunter to come in and testify, negating the need to hold the floor vote. It’s not some biased deep state thing. Hunter just decided to eventually do the smart thing at the last minute and testify before the entire House could hold him in contempt. 1

If you think that Hunter should be prosecuted for contempt, you should be mad at the GOP for not holding a floor vote on sending the contempt motion to the DoJ.
BillsFanNC Posted May 10 Author Posted May 10 Here's how contempt definitely works currently in DC outside of the King's clown world. Republican? You might face consequences. Democrat? You will never face consequences.
ChiGoose Posted May 10 Posted May 10 If Hunter Biden should be prosecuted for Criminal Contempt of Congress, why didn’t the GOP-led House vote to hold him in contempt and refer him to the DoJ? If the DoJ is just doing the bidding of the Dems, why did it reject their referrals for Dan Scavino and Mark Meadows?

Something's got his tinfoil hat askew. He may be coming to the realization his hero is primed for another loss.

Last I checked his profile, it was almost entirely the insane ratings that, if a loved one was doing it, you’d check in on them to see if they were ok. Half the time I check into this page, most of the top topics have him as the last poster. He must be spending an awful lot of time here. I imagine he’s probably pretty lonely.
