Hunter Biden showed up at the Capitol this morning for a behind-closed-doors deposition, and later he'll probably make his way over to the White House. If another baggie of coke is found in a room there later it will be a total coincidence.
Hunter Biden is facing questions Wednesday from members of two GOP-led House committees at a closed-door deposition that President Joe Biden's son had rejected participating in for months.
The deposition is being held by the House Oversight Committee and the House Judiciary Committee, the two panels that have been leading an impeachment inquiry into the president.
Hunter will either take the Fifth to all questions or maybe say "if I'm going to be convicted do it now so my dad can pardon me before leaving office if he loses in November."
At least if you're a Biden you can count on the media to help out when it comes to a helpful spin on these matters.
Here's the Daily Beast's offering:
Joe Biden’s only surviving son is now preparing to be more vocal and aggressive in shaping his own narrative and responding to GOP attacks, according to several sources close to the Biden campaign.https://t.co/bwi4RfBh7Y

Well, at least they didn't call him Joe Biden's "child" this time.
"Shaping his own narrative" was also a nice touch -- it has a sort of "my truth" feel to it.
"Only surviving son."

"Shaping his own narrative."
"GOP attacks."
More Hunter. That's what the campaign needs. https://t.co/apdW8iWtEh
The media would like everybody to forget that we're talking about a 54-year-old man here who occasionally stays at the White House and flies aboard Air Force One.
Problem w this spin attempt is that Hunter Biden is clearly guilty. We can argue over extent of Joe Biden’s involvement, but no doubt that Hunter spent decades engaged in extensive criminal activities and profited from selling perceived influence to questionable foreign actors. https://t.co/5dvgFwfzHv

As for the Associated Press, this is their headline: Hunter Biden’s years of personal grief and public missteps are focus of House impeachment probe
"Public missteps," like lying on a federal background check form when buying a gun?
The tone the AP is trying to set is not only clear by the headline but also in the way the story begins:
As his father stood in the Rose Garden at the White House in the fall of 2015 and announced he would not run for president, Hunter Biden was facing his own crossroads.
It was a deeply emotional and traumatic time for Joe Biden and his close-knit family, still reeling from the death of his oldest son, Beau, that spring, as Donald Trump was making his unexpected entry into U.S. presidential politics.
The media almost always makes them out to be the victims. "Crossroads"... "crack addiction" -- po-tay-toe, po-TAH-toe.
