Rep. Eric Swalwell is finding himself in some hot water…again. This is becoming far too frequent. It’s not for his questionable connections to a certain Chinese spy, no. This time, it’s for helping none other than Hunter Biden give Congress the old slip.

Last week, young Biden was supposed to appear at a congressional deposition, but instead, he decided to deliver a brief speech outside the Capitol. Now, you might be thinking, “How did he manage to get that prime spot?” Well, that’s where our good friend Swalwell comes in. He reserved the spot for Hunter’s little show and tell.

But Swalwell’s actions aren’t just sparking raised eyebrows; they’re inviting legal scrutiny. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is calling Swalwell out for “aiding and abetting contempt.” In a letter to the leaders of the House Ethics Committee and House Administration Committee, Issa wrote, “By all appearances and reporting, the media space reservation by Congressman Swalwell…was intended solely to allow Hunter Biden to fail to appear before [the House Oversight and Judicial Committees], publicly announce his refusal to comply with a dually-issued subpoena, and be in contempt of Congress.”

And it’s not just Issa throwing shade. Legal scholar Jonathan Turley chimed in, saying, “Swalwell did not simply facilitate a crime; he went out of his way to associate himself with it.” Ouch! That’s gotta sting.

Now, Swalwell claims that he tried to book the House side, but it was no longer available due to a change in the deposition time. Convenient, right?

The question on everyone’s minds now is whether the House will hold Hunter in contempt. That would require a full floor vote and the Justice Department’s agreement to prosecute the case. Considering that Trump allies Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro were prosecuted and convicted of contempt for defying the Jan. 6 committee, it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility. At the same time, we’re talking about the Biden crime family and a Democrat government, so I wouldn’t exactly hold my breath.
