For Republicans, Hunter Biden is the gift that keeps on giving. This is from his opening statement at his deposition testimony before the House impeachment inquiry today:
I am here today to provide the committees with the one uncontestable fact that should end the false premise of this inquiry: I did not involve my father in my business.
As NR’s editors have previously related, here is Hunter on July 30, 2017, in a WhatsApp message to his CEFC business partner (and Chinese Communist Part official) Henry Zhao:
I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.
Here is Hunter’s Burisma business partner Vadym Pozharsky, in an email to Hunter on April 17, 2015 — the day after Hunter held a dinner party to introduce his then–vice president father to a number of his Ukrainian, Russian, and other business partners:
Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together.
Here’s Hunter on February 24, 2016, while aboard Air Force Two with dear ol’ dad en route to Mexico City, grousing in an email to his business associate, Aleman Magnani:
We have been talking about business deals for 7 years. And I really appreciate you letting me stay at your resort villa . . . but I have brought every single person you have ever asked me to bring to the F’ing White House and the Vice President’s house and the inauguration and then you go completely silent . . . You make me feel like I’ve done something to offend you.
I could go on, but you get the point. I imagine most of the public now gets the point, too.
