Hunter Biden's Opening Statement at Deposition Assigns Blame for His Troubles

Hunter Biden is at the U.S. Capitol today for a behind-closed-doors deposition as part of the House Republicans' impeachment inquiry.

Part of what the inquiry is trying to get to get answers about is what was Hunter Biden selling and how did he sell it:

Hunter's opening statement was clearly written by a team of lawyers, because it's full of very carefully worded statements, including those about his father's involvement:

Maybe a good follow-up would be "ok, did your father involve himself in your business?"

Hunter's statement assigned blame for what he's going through, and this probably won't surprise you:

Did "MAGA-motivated conspiracy theorists" abandon Hunter's laptop at a computer repair shop in Delaware? Also, complaints about conspiracy theories are rich coming from the side that pushed "Russia collusion" and is preparing to do so again with the upcoming election (but only if Joe loses -- if Joe wins it'll have been the "most secure election ever").
