"SNIP..........
House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) and House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent a letter to the White House on Wednesday demanding to know if President Biden had prior knowledge of or influenced his sons plans to defy a congressional subpoena, The Messenger reports.
From the letter: Under the relevant section of the criminal code, it is unlawful to corruptly endeavor to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any investigation or inquiry is being had by any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress.

(3,396 posts)What was Joe supposed to do? Threaten to ground him if he didnt show up? Hunter Biden is a grown man. A separate man from Joe Biden. Hell even if Joe advised him to not show up it is still Hunters call on what to do.

But I do suggest you keep in mind the legal definitions of corruption and obstruction. There may be a pop quiz later.
