According to a Tuesday letter addressed to committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), Biden agreed to testify before the committee on Dec. 13 — as long as the hearing was public. In the letter, Biden’s attorneys quoted Comer’s own demand, issued in November, that given Biden’s “willingness to address this investigation publicly up to this point, we would expect him to be willing to testify before Congress.”

The letter added that open-door proceedings “would prevent selective leaks, manipulated transcripts, doctored exhibits, or one-sided press statements.”

Republicans would not have it. “Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else,” Comer wrote in a statement. “That won’t stand with House Republicans.”

      To be fair, you have no way of possibly knowing he’s stayed clean.

      Also, from what I understand, the guy is packing a massive dong, so I’m sure that helps too. Much less embarrassing than it could have been for him due to our societal norms or whatever.

      Edit: not sure why this comment would be controversial. As a “former” addict myself, I know first hand how well some people can hide their use. Anyone who has ever experienced addiction, and relapsed, would tell you that you really can’t know for sure. You just can’t.

      Unless you’re testing hair samples or some shit.

        The size of the guy’s dong is completely irrelevant and ignorant of the point that, big dong or small dong, Hunter Biden’s privacy and dignity was destroyed by a woman who wanted social media points.
