As we told you earlier, Hunter Biden crashed a House hearing about holding him in Contempt of Congress, and it was obviously a stunt that ended up backfiring. Biden's lawyer claimed his client wanted to testify knowing it wouldn't be agreed to without first a behind-closed-doors deposition and one Republican said he should be arrested on the spot:
"I believe that Hunter Biden should be held completely in contempt. I believe he should be hauled off to jail right now!"

After some Republicans made some points, Hunter clearly had taken that stunt far enough and he took off:

Biden probably should have stayed in the hearing room, because it wasn't a very welcoming environment in the hallway as reporters asked Hunter about his dad's involvement in his business dealings and more:
REPORTER: "Why did you put your dad on speakerphone if he had nothing to do with your business!? You put him on speaker multiple times to talk to your business partners!"

MRS. DOOCY TIME: “Mr. Biden, why did you put your dad on speakerphone when he had nothing to do with your business? You put him on speakerphone multiple times to talk to your business partners? Why — why did you do that?”

Did Biden realize this stunt was a bad idea yet?
If not yet, this might have done the trick:

Hunter Biden narration: Anyway, that's when I knew I'd made a big mistake.
I’d like to know what type of crack made you think showing up today would be a good thing. https://t.co/mLXhwugyrX

It sure didn't seem to work out well for Hunter, so he might want to have a chat with his lawyer.
