[quote]A career State Department official overseeing Ukraine policy told congressional investigators this week that he had raised concerns in early 2015 about then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son serving on the board of a Ukrainian energy company but was turned away by a Biden staffer, according to three people familiar with the testimony.
George Kent, a deputy assistant secretary of state, testified Tuesday that he worried that Hunter Biden’s position at the firm Burisma Holdings would complicate efforts by U.S. diplomats to convey to Ukrainian officials the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of confidentiality rules surrounding the deposition.
Kent said he had concerns that Ukrainian officials would view Hunter Biden as a conduit for currying influence with his father, said the people. But when Kent raised the issue with Biden’s office, he was told the then-vice president didn’t have the “bandwidth” to deal with the issue involving his son as his other son, Beau, was battling cancer, said the people familiar with his testimony.[/quote]

You guys can stop complaining about the Republicans on the relevant committees not having any access to the testimony, now, thanks![/quote]

Perhaps if Schiff  would conduct these "interviews" in a more transparent way,  or would release the transcripts of those interviewed, there would be no issue.  [/quote]
The House is conducting an investigation. Investigations are not usually public.[/quote]

They need not be public. But,  preventing other members of the House from accessing information AND preventing the Republicans from having an ability to  subpoena others indicates that this is not about getting the facts.  It's all about promoting a narrative.   [/quote]

You realize these are Speaker Ryan's rules, right? Pelosi left them in place exactly as is.[/quote]
