Tony Bobulinski Rips Dems’ Character ‘Assassination’: ‘Disgusting’

Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski went after House Oversight Democrats, including ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., and Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., in a pointed opening statement in Wednesday’s Biden impeachment inquiry hearing.

“We keep hearing from certain corners that our ‘democracy is at risk’ and that ‘democracy is on the ballot in 2024,’ yet the same people preaching this mantra, who know better, continue to lie directly to the American people without hesitation or remorse,” Bobulinski said.

“Rep. Dan Goldman and Jamie Raskin, both lawyers, and Mr. Goldman a former prosecutor with the Southern District of New York, will continue to lie today in this hearing and then go straight to the media to tell more lies.”

Goldman was the Democrats’ leading impeachment lawyer targeting then-President Donald Trump before Goldman won his House seat in deep blue New York City.

“Hunter Biden’s defense attorney, Abbe Lowell, weaponizes letters to Congress to try to smear my name and misstate the cold hard facts in an attempt to save his powerfully connected client – and his father,” Bobulinski’s opening statement continued. “I challenge Mr. Lowell to make those claims on national television so he can be held accountable for his lies. The Biden defenders’ outrageous dishonesty and vile attempts at assassinating my character are as predictable as they are disgusting.

“As a former Naval officer, I do not understand this world of partisan outrage and insanity; I struggle to process it, and I despise it.”

Bobulinski testified publicly along with fellow former Hunter Biden business partner Jason Galanis, who testified virtually from prison.

Democrats are expected to attack Galanis because he was convicted for fraud and is currently in prison, but Tony Bobulinski’s opening statement hailed his “impeccable military record” as making him a credible witness.

“Though the truth involving the deep corruption of the Biden family, including the malfeasance of the sitting president of the United States, might be raw and unpleasant, the American people must hear it, can handle it, and have the right to process it as they choose,” Bobulinski said in his opening statement. “You are presented with two narratives in this investigation: A false one being pushed by Joe Biden, a serial liar and fabulist now under this impeachment investigation for public corruption; his brother Jim Biden, a 75-year-old man who cannot keep his lies straight, including under oath; and his son Hunter Biden, a chronic drug addict facing two indictments with twelve counts.

“You also have before you the truth, confirmed by multiple Biden family business partners over many years and backed up by mountains of irrefutable evidence, including text messages, emails, documents, and recordings.”

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., admitted the impeachment of President Joe Biden is facing a likely dead end in the Democrat-held Senate, but he is now steering the investigation to criminal referrals to potentially hold the alleged Biden family’s foreign influence peddling operation accountable in court or perhaps the next Trump administration, he told Newsmax’s Kilmeny Duchardt before the hearing.

The White House has said the investigation is baseless and politically motivated.

“It is obviously time to move on, Mr. Speaker. This impeachment is over. There is too much important work to be done for the American people to continue wasting time on this charade,” White House counsel Edward Siskel wrote in a letter to House GOP Speaker Mike Johnson last week.

The Republicans’ slim House majority will likely make impeachment difficult. The chamber held a second vote last month to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas, the administration’s top border official, after a first vote failed.

The Democrat-led Senate, which has yet to take it up, will almost certainly vote to acquit Mayorkas.
