Devon Archer, who was Hunter Biden’s business partner, actually said the opposite of what House Republicans claimed, according to a transcript of his recent testimony, the Washington Post reports. “That’s the pattern here. Comer and Jordan and others hype claims of Joe Biden’s involvement in Hunter Biden’s work only to see those claims collapse as more information is made public. Devon Archer’s testimony was hailed as a central breakthrough in implicating Joe Biden. Instead, it has a top ally of Hunter Biden stating under penalty of perjury that Joe Biden was not involved in Hunter Biden’s business and that Biden’s trip to Ukraine in 2015 was not centered on protecting Burisma at all.”
LOL at Shokin Archer testified that he was told by Burisma’s team in Washington that this pressure from Biden “was bad for Burisma.” Archer agreed that the fact that “Shokin did not pursue corruption investigations against Burisma’s owner, effectively shielding the owner from prosecution,” as Goldman articulated it, meant that Shokin’s ouster put Burisma and Zlochevsky at more risk, not less. More broadly, Archer severely undercut Republican claims about Hunter Biden’s interactions with his father. He at first indicated that Hunter Biden had called his father after that meeting in Dubai in December 2015 but later said that he only knew that Hunter had “called D.C.” So, he was asked, did Hunter Biden ever ask his father to take official actions on behalf of his business partners? “He did not,” Archer said. “He did not ask him — to my knowledge, I never saw him say, do anything for any particular business.” - Archer was asked later to confirm that he was not aware of any policy discussion between Hunter Biden and his father or of any occasion on which he asked the then-vice president to do anything improper. “That’s my understanding,” Archer said. What about that bribe? Would he disagree with the idea that an FBI interview form that was the root of Comer’s initial claim actually constituted evidence of a bribe? “Yeah, I would,” Archer said, noting that (as the informant who claimed to have been told about the bribe noted) this sort of boasting was common in such situations — “very similar to D.C. operators,” Archer added, not needing to identify Hunter Biden as such an operator. What’s more, he said — under penalty of perjury, mind you — he was never aware of any such bribe offered to Hunter Biden or anyone else.
Joe's deep involvement in Hunter's biz with Chinese, Russians and Ukrainians revealed in Devon Archer's full damning testimony
LMAO, 'Deep' So, he was asked, did Hunter Biden ever ask his father to take official actions on behalf of his business partners? “He did not,” Archer said. “He did not ask him — to my knowledge, I never saw him say, do anything for any particular business.” I like how you ignore the testimony but then quote partisan outlets who just make shit up. You only quote tabloid trash like DailyMail and NYPost for opinions you want to hear and then wonder why others won't take this nonsense seriously.
Joe and Hunter spent plenty of time alone without Archer. Of course Hunter asked him. He was operating a multimillion dollar access selling business, and his drug and hooker problems show he had no self-control. Why the dozens of shell corporations if they had nothing to hide? They weren't running a complicated business, just charging millions for access to Joe Biden.
Sure Hunter was conducting an access business, problem is you have no evidence Joe was involved. In fact, the emails from your favorite source the laptop say the opposite "“The announcement of my guy’s” — his father’s — “upcoming travels should be characterized as part of our advice and thinking — but what he will say and do is out of our hands,” the email read." You want to prosecute Hunter Biden for his lobbying, you can, problem is you have zero evidence Joe was involved who is the target of your 'witch hunt'. Nobody gives a shit about Hunter Biden, he is not the one running. The emails, your witnesses, your Burisma conspiracy that Archer demolished, it's all over for you guys other than implying and speculating that Joe was involved in any of this.
Archer said point blank that no business was discussed during those phone calls and that Hunter was trying to sell the 'illusion of access'. So what is that evidence of? As for your 'big guy', why don't you guys quote the full thing? One email mentions that the equity split would include “10 held by H for the big guy ?” A former business partner of Hunter’s named Tony Bobulinski came forward to claim “the big guy” was Joe Biden. But a subsequent email from Hunter says his “Chairman” gave him “an emphatic no,” and a further email clarifies that the chairman is his dad. Bobulinski claims “the big guy” means Joe Biden. But that line notably ends in a question mark. And if accurate, it is unclear whether Joe Biden himself (by then the former vice president) actually knew about it — or whether Hunter was throwing around his name without his knowledge. Furthermore, there is also a message six days after this one where Hunter says that his “Chairman” gave him “an emphatic NO.” Fox News claims the “chairman” is Joe Biden, which if true would seem to suggest he turned down Hunter’s offer. https://www.vox.com/2020/10/22/21529237/hunter-biden-debate-laptop-tony-bobulinski This is your problem, you have the narrative, you don't have evidence for anything which is why nobody outside of the right wing bubble cares about this.
Hunter Biden Associate Testified That Hunter Sold More Than 'Illusion of Access,' Transcript Reveals "It's not about selling access to his father. It's about selling the illusion of access to his father. Is that fair?" Goldman asked Archer, who sat on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings with Hunter Biden. Archer was testifying to the House Oversight Committee this week about Joe Biden's role in his son's overseas business. Archer replied that the phrase was "almost fair." "There are touch points and contact points that I can't deny that happened, but nothing of material was discussed. But I can't go on record saying that there was—there was communications," Archer said. "Yeah, there were communications," Archer clarified.
LOL, a pre-printed courtesy letter to Archer now means Joe was involved in the business? Archer revealed this week in an interview that Biden sent him a letter in 2011, contradicting the president's claims that he never discussed his son's business dealings. "I apologize for not getting a chance to talk to you at the luncheon yesterday. … I hope I get a chance to see you again soon with Hunter. I hope you enjoyed lunch. Thanks for coming," then-vice president Biden wrote to Archer. A handwritten portion reads, "P.S. Happy you guys are together." The letter stands in contrast to Joe Biden's long-held claims he had nothing to do with Hunter Biden's business. You can keep quoting your right wing tabloids, problem is direct quotes from Archer demolishes your talking points.
