Seems a bit sloppy how so many were 'not recorded'.
Mfume: Where in the world is Rudy Giuliani? That's how we got here, ladies and gentleman! And this committee is afraid to bring him before us and put him on the record. Shame!
Mfume calling Biden a 'targeted president'.
Mfume is another scumbag that needs to be exposed to the black community as a total fraud.
"The Burisma Conspiracy"
O'Connor: I understand that the tax division did produce a ninety-nine page memo authorizing all the charges the Special Agents recommended [against Hunter].
Foxx: So the DOJ's tax division recommended six felonies, and five misdemeanors, is that correct?
O'Connor: That's correct.
Foxx: Hunter Biden was only initially charged with two counts of wilful failure to pay federal income taxes as part of a plea deal. Is that correct?
O'Connor: Right, for just two years.
Ocasio-Cortez: Members of congress, all of us in this hearing, are not under oath, as we are presently covered by the Speech and Debate Clause…covers all statements by member of congress, whether they are factual or not.
[this allows congressional criminals like Raskin, Goldman, Schiff, etc, to lie as much as they like]
Turley: I think the most concerning [piece of evidence], obviously you have to start with the bribery allegation that was the subject of the FD-1023…that's what makes this a credible inquiry. The question is, did the president know, did he encourage, this type of corruption….You have to begin with a recognition that what Hunter Biden and his associates were doing, was corrupt,. That's what influence peddling is.
Grothman: So we're really obligated to have this inquiry?
Turley: I believe it's your duty to determine if the president is involved in a known form of corruption….this was influence peddling in it's rawest form,.
Turley: Influence peddling is the favorite form of corruption in Washington, DC. And this city is awash with it.
Shontel Brown: It is painfully clear that Speaker McCarthy has once again handed control of the people's house to MAGA extremists…republicans are tripping over themselves trying to distract and deflect the American people with this shameful show.
Palmer: There's a saying among country lawyers, that if you have the facts, you pound the facts. If you don't have the facts, you pound the table. When you can't pound the table, I guess some of my democratic colleagues choose to pound the witnesses. That was inexcusable.
Palmer: At this point, there is a growing public perception, and it's reflected in the polls, Mr. Chairman, that [Joe], his son Hunter, other family members and business associates, are engaged in some form of criminal activity.
Stansbury: I want to say thank you to Mr. Donald Trump for calling this hearing today.
Stansbury: Our colleagues across the aisle are making a mockery of this institution, and of our Constitution, peddling in conspiracy theories, peddling the conspiracy theories that Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump themselves tried to get the American people to believe, and which Donald Trump's DOJ debunked. It's outrageous!
Every democrat in this hearing is an accessory after the fact to the crimes committed by Joe Biden.
Stansbury: I think it's obvious who the grand puppetmaster is here…we see the long arm, but little hands, of Mr. Donald Trump, whose fingerprints are all over this hearing and sham impeachment.
Higgins: There's nothing more credible in an investigative effort than bank records.
Higgins: Blue Star Strategies is a long-time democrat lobbying firm that Hunter Biden used to put pressure on US government officials to end the investigation and protect Burisma.
Garcia: My democrat colleagues have done a great job of showing that there is absolutely zero evidence linking [Joe Biden] to any wrongdoing. Zero. None.
Garcia: We're back to falling on MAGA conspiracy theories that Rudy Giuliani parroted over and over again. This farce is all about House Republicans trying to re-elect their beloved leader, Donald Trump.
[it's a done deal, and you and your career criminal colleagues are terrified]
Stansbury looks paralyzed with fear as Garcia blathers on.
Sessions making Gerhardt look like a fool.
O'Connor: The WhatsApp message where Hunter Biden says he's sitting next to his father, and in the process of shaking down a Chinese businessman; the agents wanted to find out whether that was a true statement, and they could have found out, but they were denied that authority.
Sessions: By what authority?
O'Connor: We don't know, exactly.
I suggest an audit of Jimmy Gomez and his wife's 'simple returns'.
Biggs: If the brand, and what you're selling, is Joe Biden, the then vice president, and if Joe Biden, or his family, is receiving some kind of benefit by the sale of access, or even the illusion of access to Joe Biden, what does that lead you to conclude?
Turley: If you look at actual cases I've cited in my testimony, benefits to family members can be viewed as a benefit to the principal.
Maxwell Frost [BLM terrorist]: There's no evidence of crime, only desperation and political pressure. The far-right called for this sham impeachment hearing, with no evidence, at the beginning of this year when we first got started.
Maxwell Frost [BLM terrorist]: This fake impeachment is based on desperate political calculation, not any evidence.
Maxwell Frost [BLM terrorist]: The only thing the president can be guilty of here is being a father.
Raskin: Let's get on with it, the governments about to shut down.
Summer Lee: If my republican colleagues had a so-called smoking gun, they would have presented it by now, and would have talked about it non-stop.
Chairman Comer: Can the gentlelady read a bank statement, an email, a text message?
Lee; Reclaiming my time.
