If by some remote chance you haven’t followed the news about Hunter Biden’s surprise appearance at the House contempt hearing this morning click here.

It says a great dal about the state of politics that Hunter Biden has a legal team led by Abbe Lowell. The best known people currently in the news who he has had defended are Jared Kushner and Bob Menedez. The man sitting next to Hunter Biden on the other side is Kevin Morris, a lawyer whose Wikipedia lists him as a writer. His firm has represented very well known clients.

Morris is the founder and managing partner of the Morris Yorn Entertainment Law Firm,^[2] which represents major American media figures such as Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Matthew McConaughey, Mike Judge, Ellen DeGeneres, Scarlett Johansson, Zoe Saldana, Liam Hemsworth, Zach Galifianakis, Chris Rock, and Laura Linney.^[3] He produced the 1997 documentary film Hands on a Hard Body, and co-produced the Broadway musical The Book of Mormon for which he won a Tony Award.^[4] He is also known for brokering the TV show South Park

Between these two lawyers is it any wonder that Hunter Biden scored a major public relations win in his surprise, one may say ambush, appearance at the committee hearing and, planned or unplanned, his dramatic walking out when Marjorie Taylor Greene began her invective against him.

It certainly is a bonus for him that he’s handsome and he and his wife look like movie stars:

Washington has become like a Hollywood production. It makes sense that Hunter Biden has put together a team adept at top notch show biz publicity. Wihout his having to say a word it was a bravura preformance.
