Hunter Biden’s lawyer filed an ethics complaint in the House of Representatives on Friday against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for reaching a “new level of abhorrent behavior” after she displayed sexually explicit pictures of him during a hearing Wednesday.

    I’m not sure she had immunity here. Did she have a lawful right to obtain those pictures or to release them in a public hearing? Probably not.

    Further, I’m pretty certain this didn’t fall under legitimate legislative purposes.

    She may be personally interest in hunter’s giant cock, but it’s difficult to imagine a legitimate governmental interest- especially since he’s a private citizen not employed by the government. Him doing a porn shoot or having a dick are irrelevant to an irs investigation.

        Yeah. Probably. I mean, maybe not for this. but generally you can try and sue people for anything. You do have to demonstrate harm- and that’s a very specific legal context. if you can find a lawyer willing to sue for it, it’s fair game. that said, it would be extremely difficult for the average american to show she harmed them sufficiently to justify a civil lawsuit.

        in other words, you’d probably loose.
