A Democratic congressman ruined Joe Biden’s vacation and admitted Hunter Biden broke the law during an interview with MSNBC before suggesting he was open to impeaching Biden if POTUS knew or participated in Hunter’s shady business dealings.
Connecticut Congressman Jim Himes tried to take the high road by slamming the Republicans for never condemning Trump or his family before issuing the warning to Biden.
Himes painted himself into a corner because Biden keeps changing his story about Hunter’s business dealings and what he knew of them, so when the GOP moves to impeach, Himes will be in a tight spot.
Himes said: “Let me say something that you never heard a Republican member of Congress say in the four years of the Trump administration, which is that if Hunter Biden broke the law, he should be prosecuted.
“And it is clear that he broke the law with respect to taxes and possibly the ownership of a handgun.
“He should be held accountable for that.”
“If he traded on his father’s influence, he should be held accountable for that.
“And I’m emphasizing this because you never, ever heard a Republican say the same thing about Donald Trump or his family.
“Now, to the question about impeachment, there is today zero evidence, zero evidence that Joe Biden, the president of the United States, knew about what his son was doing.
“If, if he did know about it, if he participated in that, then that is a very different conversation.”
Himes’ tough talk may come back to haunt him because Biden’s story is changing.
