Hunter Biden lawyer files complaint on Rep. Greene's use of nude photos

Source: Washington Post

Hunter Biden’s attorney on Friday requested that a congressional ethics panel take action against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), citing her use of sexually explicit images of the president’s son that she displayed during a congressional hearing earlier this week.

“Your colleague has lowered herself, and by extension the entire House of Representatives, to a new level of abhorrent behavior that blatantly violates House Ethics rules and standards of official conduct,” Abbe Lowell wrote in a four-page letter sent to the Office of Congressional Ethics.

“If the OCE takes its responsibilities seriously, it will promptly and decisively condemn and discipline Ms. Greene for her latest actions.”
Lowell wrote that he was updating an earlier request, sent in April, that sought an investigation into various comments that Greene had made about Hunter Biden. That letter cited social media posts in which Greene baselessly accused the 53-year-old Biden of being linked to “an Eastern prostitution or human trafficking ring.”

She had also posted photos of Hunter Biden driving his niece and her cousin in President Biden’s convertible, falsely alleging he was “on crack” and with prostitutes.

So perhaps now is the time to show them in the House, under a fake excuse, like Empty Green used.

Remember when Republicans were clutching their pearls over stories of Bill and Monica in the news? Remember how they fainted over the fact that the stories (without photos) were reported in the news that children might overhear? Remember when they said about Bill, "It's the lie that matters" because Bill denied having sex with Monica?

They seem to have recovered to the point that they now display nude photos in Congress (carried by TV) and have no problem supporting a guy whose lies in office exceed 10,000 and out of office are too numerous to count. The only reason that Trump has not lied under oath is that his lawyers have prevented him from talking under oath because of what a liar he is.

She didn't just post them in congress, where she "may" be shielded by the debate clause, but she apparently sent them out in a fundraising email, or at least a link to them, which is outside of her immunity.

Maybe they are working on it. I hope so, because the house is going to take exactly zero action against her.

They are protected in too many ways but if an outside notice and any funds are raised that could be a serious issue. Especially if stolen or used without permission. Let alone the revenge porn issue.

Marjorie Traitor Gangrene for “revenge porn”, which is a crime in DC and Georgia. Also, Empty G doesn’t police her email lists by age, and she sent out those photos in an email blast. Some of her subscribers could well be underage, and thus, she would be guilty for a whole other crime depending on the jurisdiction (but definitely in GA).

She’s hideous. I’m not even sure she’s actually a member of the human species, Homo sapiens (or H. sapiens). Personally, I’d create a whole new genus/species for her (and TBH, all MAGAts). The genus name would be Homunculus, species troglodytes (or H. troglodytes in short form). Common name: Cave troll.😁

I was gonna go with Troglodytes troglodytes, but found out there’s a wren species with that name. 🤷‍♂️

I'm thinking back on Ken Starr and his obsession with all the gritty details of Clinton's dalliances. He tried to couch it all in the Whitewater investigation, but in my opinion it was mostly about the lurid details. Same with Newt Gingrich. And then there was Henry Hyde who was proven to be having a few dalliances of his own.
