“When we started today’s interview of my client Mr Kevin Morris, I specifically pointed out the practice of Republicans in making partial leaks of witness’ statements rather than releasing the actual transcript so the public would know the truth and not your often inaccurate spin and misstatements. I specifically asked that this not to be done with Mr Morris’ transcript and, if such were done, that the entire transcript be released. Your staff as well as the staff of other committees responded that Mr Morris would be treated fairly. And, then you did not treat Mr Morris fairly and engaged in your standard practice of partially and inaccurately leaking a witness’s statements. Not two hours after we left Mr Morris’ transcribed interview, you issued a press statement with cherry‐picked, out of context and totally misleading descriptions of what Mr Morris said.”

“So much for the promise of your staff that Mr Morris would be treated fairly. So, as I said at the interview, I demand you now release the entire transcript of Mr Morris’ interview. Assuming it was your plan from the start not to do so and the assurances I was given were false, here is some of the statements you made that were false, inaccurate, and misleading…” wrote Bryan Sullivan, attorney for Hunter’s buddy Kevin Morris, in a Thursday letter to House Oversight Chairbilly James Comer.

We skipped the actual specifics of Comer’s mendacity as it’s not like they really matter. What’s funnier is that it’s a pretty safe bet the top paragraphs that we lifted were pre-written before Morris even flew to DC, with Sullivan just filing in the details hours after the deposition.
