George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley<\/a> said a House Democrat \u201ctripped the wire\u201d on President Joe Biden<\/a> during a hearing Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The legal expert argued that an exchange between Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) and one of the witnesses, Internal Revenue Service (IRS)<\/a> whistleblower<\/a> Gary Shapley<\/a>, undermined the president\u2019s denial that he ever spoke to his son Hunter about the younger Biden\u2019s business dealings.<\/p>\n

Goldman pointed to a moment in Shapley\u2019s prior testimony<\/a> in which he quoted Hunter Biden business associate Rob Walker<\/a> informing the FBI that Hunter Biden told his father at a lunch meeting with executives at the Chinese energy firm CEFC, \u201cI may be trying to start a company or try to do something with these guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, let me ask you something,\u201d Goldman said. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t sound much like Joe Biden was involved in whatever Hunter Biden was doing with the CEFC, if Hunter Biden<\/a> is telling him that he\u2019s trying to do business with them, does it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Goldman: So you not only have no direct evidence connecting Joe Biden to any of Hunter Biden’s business deal. You actually had proof that he wasn’t involved. That is the proof that you had. pic.twitter.com\/GYyYhlQDDb<\/a><\/p>\n

In response, Shapley said, \u201cNo but it does show that he told his father that he was trying to do business and he was talking to his father about the business.\u201d<\/p>\n
At that moment, Goldman threw his hands into the air and said, \u201cOkay, well that is true. Hunter Biden does try to do business. That\u2019s correct.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Twitter, Turley said<\/a> Goldman \u201cjust tripped the wire on Joe Biden,\u201d adding, \u201cIn trying to grill the whistleblowers to show that there is no evidence that Joe Biden was involved, he elicited an answer that the witnesses established that Joe Biden did discuss business deals of Hunter with the Chinese.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGoldman was trying to show that the witnesses did not mention a substantive role of Joe Biden, Shapley immediately noted that it did mean that he came to discuss one of the Hunter\u2019s deals. The President continues to deny that fact,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cGoldman prompted a sworn statement from the investigator that Biden did indeed discuss his son\u2019s business deals,\u201d Turley said. \u201cIn doing so, Goldman may have delivered one of the most damaging moments in the hearing for the Bidens.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Shapley made his point about Joe Biden talking to his son about business, Goldman went on to state that the IRS agent had \u201cno direct evidence\u201d connecting Joe Biden to Hunter Biden\u2019s business deals before moving on with his questioning.<\/p>\n
Turley, in ending his Twitter thread, said if Goldman had continued his line of inquiry about the Biden business deals for a few more minutes, it would have \u201csealed the case\u201d for the appointment of a special counsel.<\/p>\n
