Greene’s little show-and-tell, which wasn’t backed with any real evidence, added nothing of value to this discussion. Democrats, meanwhile, argued the investigation, which was headed up by a Trump-appointed attorney, was extensive and thorough. The Republicans argued that Hunter, who has pleaded guilty to two counts of misdemeanor tax crimes, was treated with kid gloves during a five-year investigation into his dealings because of family connections. The subject of Wednesday’s hearing, which featured two IRS whistleblowers, was whether a federal investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax crimes was unfairly lenient. What was the point of this – potentially illegal – stunt? Apart, of course, from humiliating Hunter Biden, and his father, the president? Ostensibly, to provide “evidence” that Hunter Biden was involved in sex trafficking and committed tax fraud by deducting payments to prostitution as business expenses. As well as potentially violating Georgia’s revenge porn statute (which defines nudity as including “the depiction of covered male genitals in a discernibly turgid state”), she might have broken federal laws that ban distributing obscene material to minors. And, not content with showing the pictures just once, Greene also included the images in her official email newsletter, whose subscribers may very well include minors.
The right is obsessed with the idea that liberals want to force ideas about sexuality on to children – yet they’re the ones beaming porn into unsuspecting living rooms around the country. That left the media outlets streaming the hearing with the awkward job of blurring out the poster boards as quickly as possible. While Greene warned that “parental discretion is advised” before showing this imagery to the entire room – and the camera crews in it – she didn’t explain that she was going to be exhibiting porn.
