As many of you are aware, Hunter Biden will likely face criminal contempt charges soon due to his refusal to testify before Congress. What many don’t realize is the big trouble Eric Swalwell is now in for pairing up with Hunter and running interference for him.

This Hunter/contempt situation is particularly interesting, considering his father, Joe Biden, harshly criticized Steve Bannon for a similar snub of the January 6 sham committee.

LA Times:

Hunter Biden, the president’s son, refused Wednesday to sit for closed-door questioning by Republican lawmakers investigating his business dealings and said that he would only testify in a public hearing.

Biden had been ordered to appear for a deposition Wednesday morning as part of a subpoena issued by House investigators. Instead, he held a news conference outside the Capitol and read from a prepared statement in which he attacked Republicans for “distortions, manipulated evidence and lies.” He asserted that there was no basis for any impeachment inquiry of his father, a Democrat.

“I am here to testify at a public hearing today to answer any of the committee’s legitimate questions,” Biden said. “Republicans do not want an open process where Americans can see their tactics, expose their baseless inquiry or hear what I have to say. What are they afraid of?”

Legal experts are now grappling with the question of what to do with Eric Swalwell, the traitor who slept with a Chinese spy and who is not only implicated in facilitating contempt of Congress but also in an alleged federal crime. It all started last week, when the country witnessed an utterly bizarre scene unfold in front of the Capitol. Rep. Eric Swalwell arrived with Hunter Biden and played a direct role in a flagrant act of contempt of Congress, a serious federal offense. It seems that Swalwell used his official position and staff to help Hunter’s defy a valid subpoena to appear before a House committee, something he condemned when Steve Bannon did it.

Now, it’s very likely that the House will hold Hunter in contempt and refer the case for prosecution; however, the lingering question is how to handle Eric Swalwell’s involvement.

We say it’s time for Republicans to start sharpening their knives and getting ready to claim a political scalp.

According to Professor Turley, Swalwell could be facing significant trouble. Now, the big question is whether the GOP numb-nuts will seize this golden opportunity and oust Swalwell with the same fervor they used to remove Republican George Santos.

Jonathan Turley:

This week, millions of people were glued to their televisions as Hunter Biden defied a House subpoena in a press conference with the Capitol building in the background. It was an act of legal self-immolation as the president’s son engaged in flagrant contempt of Congress, a federal crime.

Stranger still was that behind Hunter was standing his lawyer, Abbe Lowell, who watched as his client effectively begged to be criminally charged.

But it was a familiar figure behind Lowell that was the most incongruous: Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.).

At first, one had to wonder whether Swalwell had simply wandered by the presser on the way to his office. But the Biden team set up the conference on the Senate side — out of the reach of the House sergeant at arms, who might not have reacted well to an act of open contempt of Congress on his side of the Capitol.

We later learned that Swalwell was not there simply as a pedestrian, but as a participant. It was Swalwell who helped orchestrate the defiance of his own House and facilitated an alleged federal crime.

As first reported by the Washington Examiner, Swalwell used his official position to reserve the space for the press conference and lent his assistance to Hunter in refusing to appear before the House committees investigating his father, President Biden. It was a curious role for a former House impeachment manager to play in assisting in the obstruction of an impeachment inquiry of three House committees.

Of course, Swalwell has argued for the rounding up of anyone who aided and abetted the unlawful conduct during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

Indeed, in 2021 Swalwell sponsored a resolution exploring whether dozens of Republican colleagues could be expelled under the 14th Amendment for aiding and abetting an insurrection by “making unsubstantiated claims of systematic election and voter fraud.”

Now, Swalwell was standing in front of the same building aiding and abetting both a potential crime and the obstruction of congressional proceedings.

Hunter was not just committing contempt of Congress; he was parading his contempt with Swalwell as the drum major.

Eric Swalwell is the one who pushed for “hunting down” so-called “January 6 insurrectionists,” accused of attempting to overthrow the entire US government with water bottles and fanny packs. Therefore, it seems only fair that similar tactics be used against him for blatantly using his power, office, and government resources to assist a known criminal in evading Congressional testimony. If the GOP fails to pursue Swalwell, it’ll become crystal clear that they are all, without exception, owned by the left. Speaker Johnson should be feeling the wrath of conservative voters to not only remove Swalwell from office but also to ensure his prosecution. It’s crucial to make your voices heard. Don’t let the Republicans limit their actions to only removing their own members; make them actually do some hard work for once and remove the enemy from within.
