CBS CALLS OUT Dan Goldman for Lying About Devon Archer Testimony
On Monday, after Hunter Biden's business associate Devon Archer testified behind clwww.newsbusters.org
Okay, ffine, Archer didn't use the term 'illusion of access', but it was an accurate description of what Hunter was selling, nevertheless, what I call "Hunter sold sizzle, but no steak".
But the salient point in Archer's testimony, well, Goldman was correct about it.
And here is the exact transcript, proving Gold,man was, overall, correct.
(Q is Goldman, A, is Archer):
Q At the conclusion of that investigation, Senate minority staff issued a report summarizing the findings. And I'd like to read those for you.
"Every witness interviewed for this investigation testified that Vice President Biden did not alter United States foreign policy to benefit his son Hunter Biden, and that Hunter Biden's presence on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma had no effect on U.S. foreign policy. Every witness stated that Hunter Biden and his associates had no role in the formulation of U.S. policy, that Hunter Biden's role did not influence U.S. foreign policy decisions, and that Vice President Biden carried out U.S. foreign policy in the interest of the United States. The investigation's evidence, set forth in this Minority report, confirms there was no corruption, wrongdoing, or impropriety on the part of" the Vice President."
Having read that for you, I have a few questions for you based on your own knowledge and experience. So based on your own knowledge and experience -- your relationship with Hunter Biden, your time on Burisma's board, and the entirety of your knowledge and experience -- do you have any basis to disagree with the conclusion that, quote, "Vice President Biden did not alter U.S. foreign policy to benefit his son Hunter Biden"?
A I have no basis to know if he altered. I have no basis to know if he altered policy to benefit his son.
Q So you have no knowledge --
A I have no knowledge. Sorry.
Q -- of him --
A Yes, I have no knowledge.
Q -- altering U.S. policy to benefit his son.
A I have no knowledge.
Q You -- do you have any basis to disagree with the conclusion that "Hunter Biden's presence on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma had no effect on U.S. foreign policy"?
A Not directly. You mean like making laws? I don't -- I don't think so.
Mr. Goldman. Foreign policy.
Mr. Archer. No -- no -- no on foreign policy.
Q No basis to disagree with that conclusion.
A No.
Q Do you have any basis to disagree with the conclusion that "Hunter Biden's role did not influence U.S. foreign policy decisions"?
A I have -- yeah, I have no basis.
Q Do you have any basis to disagree with the conclusion that "Vice President Biden carried out U.S. foreign policy in the interest of the United States"?
A I have no basis to judge.
Q Or to disagree with that.
A Or disagree.
Q You have no knowledge -- nothing based on your knowledge or experience contradicts this conclusion.
A No.
Q Does anything in your knowledge or experience contradict the conclusion that "there was no corruption, wrongdoing, or impropriety on the part of Vice President Biden"?
A I have no basis to know.
Q The report also found, quote, "No --"
Mr. Goldman. I'm sorry. You have no basis to know or is that a no?
Mr. Archer. I have -- I have -- I would have no idea.
Mr. Goldman. No basis --
Mr. Schwartz. Are you aware of any wrongdoing by Vice President Biden?
Mr. Archer. No, I'm not aware of any.
Q So based on your knowledge and experience, you have no evidence that would contradict any of these conclusions I just read.
A No.
Q The report also found, quote, "No evidence that any action of the U.S. Government or any U.S. official was taken to benefit Burisma or Hunter Biden." Do you have any evidence or knowledge that contradicts this conclusion?
A No.
Q So based on everything you saw, heard, and observed, did you have any knowledge of Joe Biden having any involvement with Burisma?
A No -- not direct, no.
Q No involvement of Joe --
A No.
