Hunter Biden’s former best friend and ex-business partner is set to testify to the House Oversight Committee that the first son would dial in his father – at least 2 dozen times, according to one report – on calls with overseas business partners.
Devon Archer, is reportedly cooperating with Republican lawmakers and will testify this week on the $10 million Ukraine-Biden bribe.
This testimony comes on the heels of an FBI informant file that described the $10 million bribery allegation against Biden and son Hunter was released last week by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). In it, Mykola Zlochevsky, owner of Burisma Holdings, claimed to the informant that he was “coerced” into making the payoff.
Why Hunter Biden Should Worry
Archer is not exactly what one would call an upstanding citizen. In February of last year, he was sentenced to one year in prison for defrauding an Indian tribe by selling some $60 million worth of bonds through deceptive means.
Birds of a feather stick together and it doesn’t seem unusual for the same man to be involved with Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
Before his arrest, Archer served with Hunter Biden on the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukraine-based energy company.
However, it looks like Archer may sell out his former bestie.
Apparently, he will confirm to lawmakers that Joe Biden is indeed the “Big Guy,” referring to the nickname used to describe Joe Biden by associates and those reportedly involved in the Burisma scandal.
Special Treatment by the Press
This new development in the Committee’s investigation into Hunter Biden and his business dealings in Ukraine have been ignored by all except the right-wing media, but what else is new?
Mainstream media outlets have failed to report on the increasing evidence against the Biden family given by whistleblowers and even Biden allies, such as Archer.
In a podcast interview with Megyn Kelly, Donald Trump, Jr. called the mainstream media the “regime propogandists” and decried “they won’t even ask the question like, ‘Hey are we sending 130 billion dollars in U.S. aid … to defend Ukraine because the Ukraine … they’re holding this up over the Bidens?’ We’re not even willing to ask the question, because to me that seems the most plausible answer.”
Granted, this is Donald Trump’s son we’re talking about; however, Kelly, a sometimes critic of the 45th president, offered her support saying, “Most of them did not even cover the whistleblower’s testimony. It was not live on CNN or MSNBC. Fox carried it. Because they’re not interested in corruption within the DOJ that helps Democrats. They’re not interested.”
Democrats Scrutinize Biden
Even those in his own party, albeit a nemesis in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, are calling for an investigation into how involved the president was in his son’s so-called business affairs in Ukraine and beyond.
In an interview with Fox News Business’s Maria Bartinomo, Robert Kennedy, Jr. stated:
“The issues that are now coming up are worrying enough that we really need a real investigation of what happened. I mean, these revelations …where you have Burisma, which is this notoriously corrupt company, that paid out apparently $10 million to Hunter and his dad, if that’s true, then it is really troubling. So I think … it needs to be investigated.”
Kennedy has been outspoken in his objection against U.S. involvement in and aid to the war in Ukraine. He has not been what one would call a cooperative Democrat in the 2024 bid for the White House and has seen more support from Independents and Republicans than his own party who has made persistent attempts to smear the late senator’s son.
Miranda Devine, a New York Post columnist and author of the book “Laptop From Hell,” recently stated in an interview, “This is like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that are just coming together bit by bit … and that there is something very rotten in the FBI and the DOJ.”
The press was always supposed to be the “watchdog” of government on either side of the aisle. Now it just seems they’re simply playing fetch for one.
