A lawyer for Hunter Biden’s art dealer told House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer to piss off in response to a letter asking for information on who bought Hunter’s paintings, citing ethical arrangements with the White House and a recent Supreme Court decision, USA Today reports.

Comer had asked New York-based art dealer George Berges for testimony and receipts on the buyers of Hunter’s artwork because it just has to be some money-laundering scam and he’s an untalented crackhead, blah blah blah. The truth is that the pieces are actually pretty fucking impressive, irrespective of their completely subjective “worth” that may or may not be skewed by the fact that it was the president’s son who painted them. There’s no denying that it took a lot of skill and concentration to conceive of and execute them, no matter what you think of how they actually look. There’s probably a reason we’d never actually seen the pieces before: If they were finger paintings then right wing media and dumb hicks like Comer would’ve been tweeting them five times a day, every day, to push that the sales were obviously a scam. It’s better to keep how they look hidden from the eyes of the MAGA base, who might then start to do their own research on the modern art market and find that paintings of a similar caliber regularly sell for astronomical sums.
