As expected, there was no shortage of fireworks in the House Oversight Committee hearing regarding influence peddling on the part of the Biden family on Wednesday. Witnesses for the majority included former Biden business associates Tony Bobulinski and Jason Galanis.
Bobulinski clearly came loaded for bear, and we've covered several of his tense exchanges with Democrats on the committee.

One of the fieriest moments, though, came after the Democrat in question had already left the hearing. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) spent his time questioning the minority witness, Lev Parnas, in an attempt to deflect attention onto Rudy Giuliani and former President Donald Trump. He then left without engaging with Bobulinski.
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) was up next, and during his questioning, Bobulinski took a moment to comment on Khanna's disappearance.

Here's what Bobulinski had to say:
If you noticed, Congressman Khanna scurried out of here very quickly, and I'm actually disgusted as I sit here that he didn't address me, based on the fact that I'm sitting here in front of the world, trying to testify to the truth.
In October 2020, I have messages I'm willing to produce to both the Democrats and the Republicans that Ro Khanna sent to me, saying, "You have always demonstrated to me that you are nothing but an honest with the highest integrity individual." And I was begging for him to go on CNN and tell the world in October 2020.
I have extensive emails with Congressman Ro Khanna in 2021 and 2022, where I begged him and his staff to sit down with me and look at my Blackberry phones that the Democrats are so focused on, to hire forensics experts and go through all of the factual information I had.
So the fact that he did not even address me and then scurried out of here is disgusting to me.
Never a good look when people — especially political leaders — say one thing in front of the camera and the opposite behind it. Particularly when there are receipts.
