Fox News Hosts Claim Hunter Biden Cleverly Avoided Arrest By House Sergeant at Arms By Speaking on Senate Side

Fox News hosts pointed out that Hunter Biden gave his subpoena-defying news conference Wednesday on the Senate side of Capitol Hill, claiming that was a strategy to avoid being arrested by the House Sergeant at Arms.

Correspondent Molly Line brought up the theory on Outnumbered after Emily Compagno asked about Hunter Biden’s “strategy.”

“Do you feel that Hunter engaged in the right strategy, which was essentially making this public commentary, refusing to comply with a private, closed-door testimony, of which there would have been no video testimony and photographs that could be splashed across T-shirts and the like?” Compagno asked.

“I do feel like in essence there’s some gamesmanship going on,” Line said. “Chad Pergram pointed out a really interesting angle and Jason Chaffetz kind of alluded to this when you were chatting with him. This is Chad Pergram: ‘It’s possible that Comer could have called on the Sergeant at Arms to arrest Hunter Biden for being out of compliance with the subpoena had he showed up on Capitol Hill for the closed-door deposition. But Hunter Biden appeared on the Senate side instead of — the House Sergeant at Arms, they couldn’t take him into custody.'”

Pergram appeared on The Faulkner Focus earlier where he said, “Hunter Biden spoke to reporters on the Senate side of Capitol Hill. That’s because he was out of compliance with the House subpoena. That means the House Sergeant at Arms could not compel him to appear. The House has no authority on the Senate side.”

Chaffetz also postulated on The Faulkner Focus, “For Hunter Biden in his arrogance to say he’s here. He wasn’t! He showed on the Senate side, not the House side, and there’s probably a reason for that.”

House Republicans announced Wednesday that they would begin contempt proceedings against Hunter Biden.
