Not defending Hunter Biden here but i want Republicans and Trump loyalists to give an honest opinion here:

What do you think of the Republican refusal to let Hunter Biden testify publicly?
Does that strike you as suspicious? Do you feel somehow it's justified?

Why do you suppose they are refusing a public hearing of his testimony?

They don't want to be analyzed and criticized. These guys aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed. They know every news outlet outside of the ultra-conservative ones will tear them apart. And they won't be able to lie or misrepresent Hunter's testimony if it's public and we hear what he has to say.

Well that's the thing. It sure seems dishonest.
What honest person fears public testimony?

@Pikachu Although, as the motorcycle riding senior citizen from Florida pointed out, the Democrats have also held closed-door hearings. I think every hearing should be public unless it's dealing with classified information.

However, the inquiry into Hunter isn't a search for the truth, it's political performance art.

The concept of a closed-door hearing is not one i necessarily find problematic. The utter refusal to allow it to be public is the strange part.

@Pikachu In most cases, it's not an issue.
