Two Democrat impeachment stars lashed out at former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski during a Wednesday hearing, interrupting Bobulinski and complaining to the committee chair because he had accused them of lying.
Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who led the second impeachment against former President Donald Trump — and Dan Goldman (D-NY), who led the first — objected to Bobulinski’s opening statement, during which he called both of them liars.
Bobulinski – who also claimed during Wednesday’s hearing that Hunter Biden had perjured himself during his own testimony before Congress — said that Reps. Goldman and Raskin had both lied to protect President Joe Biden and predicted that they would continue to do so after the hearing was over.

“The same people preaching this mantra know better. They continue to lie directly to the American people without hesitation and remorse,” Bobulinski began. “Reps. Dan Goldman and Jamie Raskin, both lawyers, and Mr. Goldman a former prosecutor with the SDNY in New York, will continue to lie today in this hearing and go straight to the media to tell more lies.”
“Hunter Biden’s defense attorney Abbe Lowell weaponizes letters to Congress to try to smear my name —” Bobulinski continued, but he was interrupted.
“Mr. Chairman,” Raskin cut in, but Bobulinski continued.
The former Biden associate referenced his personal history in the U.S. Navy, but paused when he saw committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) speaking to Raskin.
“Am I supposed to say it’s my time, Mr. Raskin?” Bobulinski asked, jabbing at the members who had interrupted him with the same line.

Comer apologized for the interruption and told Bobulinski to carry on with his opening statement, but Raskin was not finished.
“Mr. Chairman, save his time, but he called members of this committee liars,” Raskin complained. “And I just want to know whether the order and decorum requirements of House Rule 11 apply to witnesses before the committee. Does it apply or does it not?”
Comer, after a brief conference off-mic, replied that there were rules of decorum for the committee members but no language he knew of that applied the same rules to witnesses. Raskin did not appear to be thrilled with the ruling, but did not interrupt again.
Goldman also responded to Bobulinski’s comments, saying, “We have a very important hearing here, and we don’t have time for stunts.”
Later in the hearing, Goldman got into another testy exchange with Bobulinski, asserting that he had been the one who wanted Joe Biden involved and claiming that Hunter Biden had dumped him as a business partner because of that.

“That’s a blatant lie, Mr. Goldman, you know better,” Bobulinski shot back.
