31. They're just looking for something

to hang on Joe Biden. I did not know that they needed to impeach Joe before there would be a valid subpoena for Hunter. Interesting.

I was also disappointed on his about face, but then decided it's a game of chess that the Repubs will lose. For one thing, the Repubs seem like they don't really want to depose him. Maybe they will say yes, or maybe they will dither, preferring to stand on what they think they have. They think they have him in a corner. He might have some legal problems in there, but contempt of Congress won't be it.

Plus, if they don't issue a new subpoena, then the whole country can see that he keeps offering, but they don't ever take him up on it. So, that looks bad for them.

They don't have a shred of evidence against Joe. If Hunter goes to jail for something, it won't be because he sold his father out. They are both handling this with a lot of dignity. I am glad that he walked out on MTG and her morbid fascination with his genitalia.

I thought that Hunter looked strong that day, but my most favorite person is Jamie Raskin. These two guys together really kicked ass.
