Biden hit hard in whistleblower hearing ‐ by Democrat Dan Goldman

[NY Post] One of the most basic lessons that we teach law students is that you should "never ask a question you don’t know the answer to."

Most Democrats avoided any questions on the substance of the allegations, focusing instead on everything from systemic racism to the use of the term "two-tiered system of justice" and, of course, Donald Trump. Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) often goes where wiser members fear to tread. On this occasion, Goldman may have delivered one of the most damaging moments for the Democrats.

Goldman pressed veteran IRS investigator Gary Shapley about his suggestion that Joe Biden discussed the foreign dealing with his son. Shapley eagerly said he would be happy to explain, but Goldman cut him off and said he did not have time for such explanations.

At this point, most lawyers would have reversed engines out of troubled waters, but Goldman plowed full speed ahead. He said the references to Joe sitting next to his son do not mean that they actually discussed his business.

Goldman then pounced and said slyly, "Now let me ask you something, that doesn’t sound much like Joe Biden was involved in whatever Hunter was doing with the CEFC if Hunter Biden is telling him that he is trying to do business with them, does it?"

That is when Shapley stated the obvious: "No, but it does show that he told his father that he was trying to do business and ..."

Goldman finally heard the train whistle and tried to get off the track: "OK, well, that is true that Hunter Biden does try to do business, that is correct."

Too late.

Goldman was citing the testimony of Walker that Joe Biden not only came to lunch on Hunter’s foreign dealings but did so after being told that Hunter wanted to lay the foundation for such a deal.

Unfortunately, that is when Goldman’s time ran out.

A few more minutes and we might have had an open-and-shut case for the appointment of a special counsel.

#1 Why would we want an appointment of a Special Counsel? It would be someone from Weismann’s crew. The impeachment inquiry is the way we want this investigated. A Special Counsel just locks up all the evidence for four years.

#2 I concur Supe. The corrupted DoJ will do nothing until a thorough internal house cleaning takes place. Impeachment will facilitate discovery and documentation for future criminal charges...and there should be many.

The only hope (if there is to be any hope) for justice is an administration change.

#3 Remember when they took out Ted Stevens and Duke Cunningham as impediments so that they could get Obamacare passed? Duke certainly was dirty, but was he really dirtier than Biden? By total dollars received, I believe that he underperformed the Biden family syndicate. Duke also wasn’t in the pocket of foreign powers. Now, I will give you that both Hunter and Duke were veterans, but there is a big difference between the two. The Feds investigated Cunningham. Have the Feds investigated any of the scions involved in Ukraine? Absolutely not.

#4 To be precise, Hunter Biden was appointed an Ensign in the USNR at age 43, by special age waiver and was sworn in by his father, the Vice President. His military service lasted a month, but Ensign Biden failed an initial drug screening urinalysis for cocaine upon reporting to his duty station in Norfolk. He was processed for discharge but the kind of discharge has never been revealed.

#5 the kind of discharge has never been revealed.
