This needs to be more than an ethics complaint. This was revenge porn.

What possible reason would the public need to see Hunter Biden naked? What relevance does it have to anything?

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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
