House Panel Names First 3 Witnesses in Impeachment Hearing


Pete

Recommended Posts

Eileen O'Connor, former assistant attorney general in the Department of Justice Tax Division;

–Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School;

–Bruce Dubinsky, an expert witness in forensic accounting.

"Thousands of pages of financial records, emails, texts, testimony from credible IRS whistleblowers, and a transcribed interview with Biden family business associate Devon Archer all reveal that Joe Biden allowed his family to sell him as 'the brand' around the world to enrich the Biden family. Joe Biden showed up on at least two dozen occasions to send signals of access, influence, and power to those who were paying the Bidens," Oversight Chair James Comer, R-Ky., said in a statement.

"This week, the House Oversight Committee will present evidence uncovered to date and hear from legal and financial experts about crimes the Bidens may have committed as they brought in millions at the expense of U.S. interests."

Comer said last week that no new ground would be covered in the first hearing, but the witnesses would suggest the committee wants to drill down on the business dealings and accounting of the Bidens, the president and his son, Hunter Biden.

O'Connor, in fact, wrote an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal in July titled, "You'd go to prison for what Hunter Biden did."

Poor cunt 2 cunt..

Worse for Biden, if the government is shut down over budget fights, 44% of voters would blame the president and his Democrat colleagues while only 33% would hold Republicans responsible. Wow – what a wipeout.

don't start crying when the stock market drops... :thumbsup:

:lmao: Remind me to avoid your financial tips. 

In the past 20 government shutdowns, the S&P 500 stayed relatively flat, with the benchmark index losing an average 0.4% the week before a shutdown and gaining .1% by the end of a shutdown, according to a Reuters analysis of CFRA Research data.

so you think a prolonged and unnecessary economic uncertainty is 'priced in' at this point?  

interesting :news:

No I think any govt shutdown that causes a decline in the markets would recover very quickly.  

Unnecessary is your opinion.

if we had multiple generations of democrats and republicans that knew how to construct and balance a budget would a looming shutdown be necessary?

No but if a govt shutdown shows the American people in any way that some govt entities are not needed then it would be a positive thing.  We can easily keep essential govt functions working. 

A balanced budget shouldn't be the lone end game.   Govt should also be restricted in how much taxes it can collect.   Larger budgets (larger govt) and higher taxes to balance it isn't the answer.

I think most agree upon the destination we want to reach but do to the system that denies change we can't find a path to get there.

Not sure its possible.   Once govt grows its virtually impossible to make it shrink.   I think it will continue until our financial collapse.

Speak for yourself.  The only guy I've voted for who got elected in the last 25 years was Trump.  Not a single senator or house rep.
