    House investigators may have received a new line of inquiry in their newly-authorized impeachment probe after President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden defied a subpoena for a deposition, according to George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley.

    In an op-ed published by The Messenger on Thursday, Turley suggested that contact between father and son about Hunter Biden holding a press conference on Wednesday outside the U.S. Capitol before the younger Biden refused to show up for a scheduled deposition could be grounds for obstruction.

    White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that President Biden was "familiar" with what Hunter Biden was going to say at his press conference - during which the first son stated that he would appear for a public hearing, but not the deposition. Jean-Pierre declined to offer any more details when pressed on whether the commander in chief tried to talk his son out of violating a congressional subpoena.

    With impeachment investigators now saying Hunter Biden will face contempt of Congress proceedings for defying the subpoena, Turley wrote that Jean-Pierre's remark "suggests that the president spoke with his son before his act of contempt and discussed his statement." Turley argued this could be a "breathtaking mistake" for the Bidens.

    "One of the four most obvious potential articles of impeachment that I laid out in my prior testimony was obstruction. There already are questions over special treatment potentially being given to Hunter in the form of alleged felonies being allowed to expire, warnings about planned federal raids, and sweetheart deals," Turley wrote, referring to a separate criminal investigation into Hunter Biden run by the Department of Justice - a probe that is being looked at as part of the impeachment inquiry.

    "In addition, President Biden has enlisted White House staff to actively push challenged accounts of his conduct and attack the House Republicans' investigative process. Such acts could legally bootstrap prior misconduct into his presidency under abuse-of-power allegations," he added.

    "If this latest allegation is true, the president was speaking with his son about committing a potentially criminal act of contempt," Turley continued. "Hunter was refusing to give testimony focused not on his own role but on his father's potential role in the alleged influence peddling. The House can pursue evidence on that conversation and how the president may have supported his son's effort."

    Much of the rest of the op-ed from Turley, who gave testimony in the impeachment probe earlier this year, made a case for how Hunter Biden may have "opened a new potential front for prosecution" for resisting a subpoena with his "bizarre public display."

Considering what real news is available for all to witness, and in great specificity, should one pursue what is true outside of the channeled realm of the corrupt corporate /legacy media, and: Is Institutionalized Corruption real, and is it a hindrance to sustaining our Constitutional Republic now, and for future generations of American citizens?

Now that the public is allowed to know the truth regarding the Hunter Biden Laptop Scandal, after more that 2 1/2 years of deception by the corrupt Corporate Media Kabal, propropagandidats all, and the discredited Deep State, we have NOW learned that the infamous laptop is far less about the Biden Boy's fetish for pornography, narcotics and Russian whores, and far more about Hunter's pivotal role in the Biden Crime Syndicate's selling of deep access to our foreign adversaries, and to what extent it has compromised our national security: What is your opinion about this possible coordinated Treason?
  It is imperative that we know the truth of what may be the greatest scandal in our Republic's history, and all aforementioned parties prosecuted for their crimes against the People.
  Currently, our Two Tiered Justice System is constructed to protect all Democratic Socialists, their corrupt "Journalist" spokes-sheople, and their Deep State enablers ... so why bother.
  It is Donald Trump's fault.
  How can we be assured that the "Laptop" is real? Would NOT our standard journalists have investigated this issue thoroughly nearly 3 years ago if it was real?

After nearly 8 months of the United States House of Representatives' Oversight Committee hearings, House Speaker Mike Johnson is pursuing an Impeachment Inquiry into the strong allegations of Bribery, Influence Peddling, Money laundering and possible Treason regarding the Biden Family Shell Corporations' business dealings with foreign nations that are adversarial to our survival: Is it prudent and wise for the Republican controlled U.S. House to investigate this Democratic Socialist President?
  No, Democratics should never be investigated because they are so superior to their Republican counterparts, and care so much more.
  Yes, in a Constitutional Republic, bound by the Rule of Law, no one is above the law, and that law must be applied evenly.
  Not sure ... Now, what got all this started?

Considering that the 2024 Presidential Election has fully begun, and the Biden Administration has consequently fully weaponized the Biden DOJ /FBI to attack all political opponents under the penalty of felonious judgement for many of the same alleged crimes, or worse, committed by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden himself: Are you comfortable with this level of overt corruption within the Executive Branch?
  Yes; if Democratic Socialists are to complete the remaking of this "Democracy," the End will Always Justify the Means.
  No; in a Constitutional Republic, the Rule of Law is paramount, which means the law MUST be administered evenly
  Who cares; I am just so ambivalent to all this grown-up stuff.
