Just when you thought the Biden family saga couldn’t get any more intriguing, along comes a revelation that’ll make your eyebrows do a little jig. It’s like a never-ending season of “House of Cards,” except it’s not Netflix – it’s real life. According to reports, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) shed light on an eyebrow-raising detail from Hunter Biden’s deposition. Apparently, Hunter believes he was fighting the good fight against Russian aggression by…drumroll please…joining the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company. Now, if that isn’t a plot twist worthy of a Hollywood thriller, I don’t know what is.
“Hunter Biden told us that he joined the Burisma board to counter Russian aggression,” Gaetz shared with reporters. “I hadn’t heard that one before.” To quote Gaetz, who could hardly contain his sarcasm: “Thank goodness we had Hunter Biden on the Burisma board because that was central to his strategy to stand up to Vladimir Putin.”
Now, let’s take a step back and put this in context. This revelation comes smack dab in the middle of the House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden. The whole shebang centers around the Biden family’s foreign business dealings, with Republicans trying to draw a straight line between Joe Biden and his son’s business shenanigans.
But here’s the kicker: despite the gravity of the situation, there’s no video recording of the proceedings. Both sides have agreed to release transcripts at a later time. Meanwhile, we’re left hanging on every word, every revelation, every sarcastic quip from Gaetz as we try to piece together this political jigsaw.
And while Hunter insists his dear old dad had nothing to do with his foreign business deals, testimony from the Biden family’s business buddies tells a different story. It’s a classic case of ‘he said, she said,’ but with national security and political reputations on the line.
For all the drama, the impeachment inquiry remains a hot potato within the GOP. Doubts are growing about whether the evidence will be enough to convince a divided majority of the merits of proceeding with the impeachment.
