It appears that the concerted effort to excuse Hunter Biden’s defiance of a subpoena in the media has failed. According to a Harvard Caps/Harris poll, 71 percent of Americans believe that Hunter should be prosecuted for contempt of Congress. What is remarkable is that 54 percent of Democrats support his prosecution.
I have previously written that Hunter committed a flagrant, criminal violation in holding his presser in front of the Congress and refusing to appear for a deposition in the House. There is an equally compelling basis to take action against Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Cal.) under House rules for facilitating the alleged federal crime.
The poll shows that, again, the public has rejected the spin in the media and correctly sees this act for what it was: a federal crime.
Every group is lined up in favor of prosecution:
- Democrats: 54 percent support
- Republicans: 89 percent support
- Independents: 72 percent support
