A new transcript from a key Hunter Biden witness undercuts many of the claims Republicans are making about “Biden corruption.”

The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday released the transcript of the testimony of Kevin Morris, a friend of and attorney for Hunter Biden, and his statements undercut everything Republicans have said about the embattled first son.

Morris is a high-powered entertainment lawyer in Los Angeles who met Hunter at a 2019 presidential fundraiser for his father, Joe Biden. Morris has loaned Hunter nearly $5 million in the years since. He testified about his relationship with Hunter in a closed-door committee hearing last week.

Initially, Oversight Chair James Comer just released a list of paraphrased highlights from Morris’s testimony. Comer claimed that Morris informally loaned Hunter the money and does not expect to be repaid until after the 2024 election—or possibly ever. But the transcript shows this couldn’t be further from the truth.

In reality, Morris never once mentioned the possibility of forgiving the loans. Instead, he said he has a “100 percent” expectation that Hunter will repay him, and repeatedly states that he and Hunter have a series of promissory notes agreeing the younger Biden will pay back the money.

      I don’t know… Loans without expectations of repayment to someone who doesn’t work in the government??? Lies or not, I reserve that kind of behavior for my Supreme Court Justices, not some random guy who has zero impact on my daily life!

      I’m sure the Democrats would never waste millions of dollars on a frivolous investigation that ends having achieved nothing.

      Anyway we care because the President is being bribed by foreigners using his son as a proxy. He lied about it, was caught, and then our intelligence agents including current employees lied about the whole story being made up in order to bury a damaging story during an election.

      Then there is the fact that the President’s son is a crack addicted whore monger who travels the country while illegally packing firearms and constantly picking up new whores to entertain while he does crack. We are supposed to believe he is also an international businessman worthy of serving of boards of foreign state connected energy corporations but has never once even discussed business with his high profile politician father, AKA “The Big Guy.” It’s pretty entertaining and he is EASILY the most FUCK UP member of a Presidential family in history. Literal cracked on dick picks and budget whores. It represents the current paradigm of a failed nation dominated by degenerate corrupt morons covering for each other from top to bottom in all areas of American life.
