i yield to mr. raskin. i just want to also as chairman mr. biden has agreed to address this committee publicly and ask unanimous consent to swear to mr. biden today or future member and have every member be able to ask five minutes of questions to the witness. we object. that s not in order. how is it not in order? it s not in order. time is expired. chair recognizes mr. perry for five minutes. thank you, mr. chairman. i would just like to remind members of this committee, anybody watching, that this is a duly constituted committee under the rules of the house of representatives. republicans on this side. democrats on that side. the democrats on that side were sell enthed by their leadership and process, same thing for the republicans on this side. why do i mention that? why do i bring that up? this is a stark difference from what is being referenced on the
quote chairman comer confessed was his true purpose. the republican chairs today then are come an deering an unprecedented resolution to hold someone in contempt who has offered to publicly answer all their proper questions. the question there is what are they afraid of? thank you. [shouted questions] mr. biden, why did you put
you said the witness can choose between a deposition or listen, mr. moskowitz. mr. biden doesn t make the rules. we make the rules. you make the rules. the rule you made is he can choose. the rule is those were your words. he was issued two lawful subpoenas. you issued those subpoenas after you took you up on your invitation to come and then you were like no, no, oh my god, what did i do? i invited him to come so the american people can hear his side of the story. i put my foot in my mouth and i must bury him in the basement where we can decide what we ll release to the public so that we can continue to tell that story. mr. chairman, you have said multiple times this is not about hunter. it is about joe biden. and even this morning on mornings with maria, she asked another simple question. the question you have been asked multiple times, which is do you
for the son of the president because they don t have sufficient evidence in fact, they have no evidence of any kind to pursue the president himself. so when you can t go after the principal, try to hurt the people around him, including a wounded member of his own family who has had all too public troubles put before our country. it s mean spirited, it s cruel, and it s beneath the dignity of this committee and this body. if you want to have political difference episcopal with the president of the united states, our system invites it. but resorting to punitive measures against members of his family because you can t get at him i think crosses a boundary.
doubt. bill: well done. do you remember him ever being wrong? dana: andy, no. even if i did i wouldn t repeat it. i want to ask you to listen to hillary vaughn. our reporter up on the hill. even hunter biden thinks she is intrepid. mr. biden, why did you put your dad on speakerphone with your business partners if he had no involvement in your business? do you have a dad? does he call you? yes. do you answer the phone? yes. why did you need to talk to him during business meetings if he had nothing to do with your business? you re very dangerous. dana: he says you are very dangerous. one of the reasons you might say that is because i m sure his lawyer said we re going to go out in the hallway, i will handle the questions, you don t say a word. but he can t help himself. so he answers that question and then says you are very
