In yet another Hunter Biden story in which the leftist mainstream media will show no interest, the Boy Wonder’s attorney was at the White House just days before he dodged a congressional subpoena to testify in the impeachment inquiry of his father.
Biden’s attorney is Abbe Lowell, an inside-the-Beltway veteran who has defended myriad public and elected officials involved in criminal corruption.
But Lowell wasn’t alone, the New York Post reported. With him was Anthony Bernal, one of First Lady Jill Biden’s top go-fers.
The obvious problem is the timing of the visit, although Lowell and the younger Biden worked out a deal with the U.S. House committees to testify in late February.
A Hanukkah Celebration
Of course, the White House says the December 11 pow-wow had nothing to do with Biden’s refusing to obey the subpoena.
“An entry in the log appears to show Lowell met with Bernal — though the White House insisted the log entry was related to a White House Hanukkah reception and that no Hunter Biden matters were discussed,” the Post reported:
The reception took place just two days before Hunter Biden defied a House subpoena for a transcribed interview and caused a small frenzy at the Capitol by asserting his innocence at an impromptu press conference.
Bernal also received a subpoena from the committees in connection with Joe Bidens’ illegally removing classified documents from the White House, the Post reported.
That aside, “the meeting raises new questions about whether the White House is coordinating with Hunter Biden on his legal defense,” the newspaper continued:
What, if any, coordination existed between Hunter Biden and the White House has long been shrouded in secrecy — but House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky) told The Post the veil must be lifted.
“We’ve called on the White House to provide information about whether President Biden sought to influence or obstruct our investigation by preventing, discouraging, or dissuading his son from complying with the subpoenas for a deposition as part of the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry, but the White House has refused to provide any information,” said Comer.
“The White House must provide the public with information about the contents of this meeting in order to provide transparency to the American people.”
Citing a story in The Hill, the Post noted that White House Press Secretary Karin Jean-Pierre had confessed a significant truth. President Biden knew what his son would tell reporters when he appeared outside the U.S. Capitol on December 13 to thumb his nose at Congress.
“President Biden was ‘familiar’ with what his son Hunter Biden planned to say during defiant remarks outside the Capitol on Wednesday in which the younger Biden blasted the investigation from House Republicans into his business dealings,” the Hill reported:
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly dodged questions about whether Hunter Biden should comply with a congressional subpoena for testimony, but she confirmed to reporters the president had some insight ahead of his son’s comments.
For his part, Hunter Biden continued to deny that his father was involved in remarkably successful businesses.
“Let me state as clearly as I can: My father was not financially involved in my business — not as a practicing lawyer. Not as a board member of Burisma, not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman, not my investment at all nor abroad, and certainly not as an artist,” Biden said. “There’s no evidence to support the allegations that my father was financially involved in my business, because it did not happen.”
Biden, Bobulinski Testimony
In fact, evidence abounds that links Papa Joe to Hunter’s business, as everyone knows from the committee testimony of former associate Tony Bobulinski.
He was the man who fingered Joe Biden as the “Big Guy” in an email linked to Hunter’s business deal with CEFC, the Chinese energy company controlled by the ruling Communist Party. Bobulinski told the committees that the “Biden family business was Joe Biden, period,” and that he permitted Chinese Reds to infiltrate the Obama White House. After Hunter Biden testified, Bobulinski testified again to say Biden and his uncle, Jim, perjured themselves.
For his part, Hunter told one truth. He was thick as thieves with Chinese Reds, and had no qualms about collecting a boatload of money from them.
Abbe Lowell
As for Lowell, he is, as the Post reported, a powerful “white-shoe” lawyer with Winston & Strawn.
The 71-year-old Columbia Law alumnus has been around D.C. for decades, and represents Republicans and Democrats alike.
His clients have included the late, corrupt-to-the-core U.S. House Speaker Jim Wright and the late Dan Rostenkowski, former chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, both Democrats.
Another client was former Democratic Representative Gary Condit. He was falsely accused in the disappearance and murder of Chandra Levy, an intern with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The culprit was a Salvadoran illegal alien, Ingmar Guandique. The accusations ended Condit’s political career.
But Lowell has also represented GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who landed in federal prison for bribery, mail fraud, and tax evasion. Another famous client was the late Charles Keating, famous for his involvement in the Keating Five Scandal with four U.S. senators, including John McCain.
