Biz partner: Hunter put Joe on the phone "dozens of times"

In case you weren’t already familiar with him, one name that you’ll be hearing a lot this week is that of Devon Archer. He is one of Hunter Biden’s former “business” partners back during his influence-peddling days and he will be testifying before the House Oversight Committee this week. This is expected to be one of the first times that the world will officially hear someone speaking under oath who had direct experience with the many shady deals the Bidens set up with foreign “investors.” Archer will reportedly recount the “dozens” of times that he witnessed, either in person or on conference calls, when Hunter would dial in “The Big Guy” to speak with people who would eventually send the Bidens millions of dollars through a network of interlocking LLCs that were apparently set up for no reason other than to funnel cash into various Biden bank accounts leaving as few fingerprints on the money as possible. Will any networks besides Fox News cover this bombshell testimony? Don’t hold your breath. (NY Post)

Hunter Biden would dial in his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone into meetings with his overseas business partners, according to testimony expected before Congress this week from Devon Archer, the first son’s former best friend.

Archer, 48, who is facing jail for his role in a $60 million bond fraud, is scheduled to testify to the House Oversight Committee about meetings he witnessed that were attended by Joe Biden either in person or via speakerphone when Hunter would call his father and introduce him to foreign business partners or prospective investors.

“We are looking forward very much to hearing from Devon Archer about all the times he has witnessed Joe Biden meeting with Hunter Biden’s overseas business partners when he was vice president, including on speakerphone,” says Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the committee chairman.

Devon Archer is a potentially “complicated” witness to call because of his own legal woes. He’s looking at potential jail time for a separate bond fraud scheme worth tens of millions of dollars, so you can expect House Democrats and the legacy media to call his credibility into question. Of course, that’s a double-edged sword because it also indicates that he’s precisely the sort of person who would have fallen into Hunter and Joe’s orbit in an effort to line up some cash.

There has also been no indication (yet) that Archer preserved any documents from his time working with Hunter. Of course, why would you retain such records if you knew you were doing something illegal with such high-profile individuals? But he was also on the board of directors for Ukrainian energy firm Burisma alongside Hunter Biden, so that paper trail places the two together during the period in question when Joe Biden was still the Vice President.

If all Archer can testify to are the meetings and the conference calls, that will still serve as more proof that Joe Biden lied to the public dozens of times when he said that he “never spoke to” his son or his brother about their foreign business dealings. Granted, proving that a Washington politician has been lying about something really doesn’t amount to much more than it being another day that ends in a “Y” in the swamp. But it would still be yet more fuel on the fire demonstrating the long-running corruption inside Biden Inc.

But there will be more on the menu than just the calls. Archer was also reportedly present for two dinner meetings that Hunter set up between his father (when he was vice president) and prospective “investors” in Washington, DC. These reports would put Joe Biden in the same room with an executive from Burisma as well as Russian billionaire Yelena Baturina, and her husband, former Moscow mayor Yury Luzhkov. Those names have shown up multiple times as sources for some of the Bidens’ mysterious wealth.

Another claim Archer will reportedly make involves much more recent activity. He says that since the news of his pending testimony broke, his family has been receiving death threats, with warnings to “keep your mouth shut.” It’s unclear where the alleged threats are coming from, but it wouldn’t be surprising if it’s true. There are powerful forces inside of the government who are working diligently to protect the Bidens and keep these stories from coming to light. Archer also claims that the fraud case pending against him was another bogus effort to silence him.

Be sure to tune in for this testimony, which should at least be shown on Fox News and possibly NewsNation. We could be in for some serious fireworks. And the mountain of evidence of massive corruption on the part of the Biden family continues to grow.
