The peril of the poorly crafted question was on display in Wednesday's hearing with two whistleblowers on political interference in the Hunter Biden investigation.
Goldman pressed veteran IRS investigator Gary Shapley about his suggestion that Joe Biden discussed the foreign dealing with his son.
Goldman then went even further and raised a "Lunch where Joe Biden came to say hello at the Four Season's hotel to a lunch that he was having with CEFC executives." He then reads from the record in how Biden associate Rob Walker described the origins of the meeting with the Chinese officials to get his dad to stop by: "Hunter told his Dad that 'I may be trying to start a company or try to do something with these guys.'".
Goldman then pounced and said slyly "Now let me ask you something, that doesn't sound much like Joe Biden was involved in whatever Hunter was doing with the CEFC if Hunter Biden is telling him that he is trying to do business with them, does it?".
Goldman was citing the testimony of Walker that Joe Biden not only came to a lunch on Hunter's foreign dealings, but did so after being told that Hunter wanted to lay the foundation for such a deal.
In one email, Hunter's business associate Tony Bobulinski was instructed by Biden associate James Gilliar not to speak of the former veep's connection to any transactions: "Don't mention Joe being involved, it's only when u [sic] are face to face, I know u [sic] know that but they are paranoid." Bobulinski gave testimony that he met with Joe Biden and discussed these deals with him.
The culmination of this evidence was Goldman matter-of-factly eliciting testimony on how Joe Biden came to a lunch with Chinese businessmen after being expressly told it was meant to cut new business deals with them.
