Now file charges under DC revenge porn law
Then emailed it to non age verified people.
So, she should be on the sexual offenders list?
Unfortunately she's protected by congressional immunity. If only people in power didn't create special rules for themselves.
Only when she says it on the floor as a congresswoman. She doesn't have carte blanche to say whatever she wants anywhere else.
And since she sent out his nudes in a mailer, he can sue
I’m not sure she had immunity here. Did she have a lawful right to obtain those pictures or to release them in a public hearing? Probably not.
Further, I’m pretty certain this didn’t fall under legitimate legislative purposes.
She may be personally interest in hunter’s giant cock, but it’s difficult to imagine a legitimate governmental interest- especially since he’s a private citizen not employed by the government. Him doing a porn shoot or having a dick are irrelevant to an irs investigation.

Unfortunately, she does have carte blanche, implicitly, when nobody has the guts to stand up for justice and charge her for the crime.

I've been thinking this is exactly the way to go.
This needs to be more than an ethics complaint. This was revenge porn.

Again. What the fuck does Hunter Biden matter, and why is this Scarecrow looking scab insist on wasting our money on this garbage?
hunter biden matters to republicans because he's the only thing they can hang on joe biden, who has been honestly masterful in the way he's navigated the late and post-pandemic.
I honestly don't understand why they act like Joe Biden is the only politician with a child who has addiction issues and/or failed relationships. Donald Trump Jr. is also divorced and has had alcohol addiction problems. During the Biden/Trump debates I almost wanted Biden to mention Don Jr's problems since Don Sr kept bringing up Hunter, but fortunately familial attacks are beneath Biden.
If they cared about what close relatives of presidents were doing, they should be investigating Jared's deal with the Saudis.

I honestly don’t understand
you're still assuming good faith. stop it. they're not interested in developing a well-rounded worldview and a rational approach to solving the problems that face America. They're interested in seizing as much power as possible and hurting their opponents as much as possible. Once you realize that, their actions start to make perfect sense. Acting like Joe Biden is the only politician with a problem child serves that end. Ignoring Don Jr's obvious coke and booze habit serves that end. There is no guiding philosophy to them, no principles they serve, no basis of human decency in which they even pretend to embed themselves. They've gone full Lee Atwater: they know who they're enemies are and they'll hurt everyone as long as their enemies get hurt too.

“She accused Biden of making amateur pornography, sex trafficking and paying for prostitutes”
I think she’s confusing Hunter Biden and Matt Gaetz again
Hunter Biden is a private citizen. He can make all the amateur porn he wants and paying for prostitutes may be looked down on but it certainly isn’t worthy of a congressional hearing. It is a really poor decision on her part.
I don't know how this hasn't been the focal point all along. This dude is an American citizen that happens to be the President's son. Sure he's made mistakes, but fuck so have I and everyone else. Furthermore he's not a politician and he's not running for office. This is a pattern with the right in positions of power from a historical perspective unfortunately; Rush Limbaugh going after Chelsea Clinton for being "dog ugly" when she was a 14 year old child, many such cases. Right wing rhetoric is unintelligent, hateful bullshit. This is nothing new
well, if Trump hawking Goya foods quite literally from the resolute desk taught me anything, it's that Republicans will ignore blatant lawbreaking from other Republicans.
This is like a sitcom except it's not funny at all. Just pathetic and infuriating.
Lock her up! Lock her up!
Moommm check it out, Americans are Wildin' again!!
Only the damn GOP would prop someone like this cunt, since they're a party of other fellow groomers.
