Devon Archer Spills The Beans: Tells Congress About Shady Burisma Dealings, Joe Biden's "More Than 20" Conversations​

MONDAY, JUL 31, 2023 - 09:40 PM
Hunter Biden's former business partner Devon Archer has spilled the beans to Congress, telling lawmakers in a closed-door session that Burisma Holdings pressured Hunter Biden in December 2015 to 'deal with' a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating the firm for corruption - shortly before then-VP Joe Biden threatened Ukraine with a quid-pro-quo over US aid in exchange for firing said prosecutor.

According to Just the News, Archer also told the House Oversight and Accountability Committee that Hunter Biden was hired to sit on the board of Burisma because his family's "brand" had value at a time when the firm was facing corruption allegations from not only Ukraine's own prosecutor general's office, but the US and Great Britain as well.

"Devon Archer testified that the value of adding Hunter Biden to Burisma’s board was 'the brand' and confirmed that then-Vice President Joe Biden brought the most value to 'the brand,'" an anonymous source told JTN. "Archer also stated that Burisma would have gone under if not for 'the brand."
Selling the brand
Archer also contradicted Joe Biden's claims that he had never met with Hunter Biden's foreign business associates - telling the committee that Joe Biden had gotten on speakerphone over 20 times with his son's business clients - not to engage in specific business, but he "was put on the phone to sell 'the brand.'"

The former business partner at the Rosemont Seneca firm, who was convicted in 2018 in a tribal bond fraud scheme, also told lawmakers that Hunter Biden was pressured in late 2015 to help deal with Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin's corruption investigation as Joe Biden was preparing to travel to Ukraine. -JTN

"In December 2015, Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma, and Vadym Pozharski, an executive of Burisma, placed constant pressure on Hunter Biden to get help from D.C. regarding the Ukrainian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin," the source told JTN. "Shokin was investigating Burisma for corruption. Hunter Biden, along with Zlochevsky and Pozharski, 'called D.C.' to discuss the matter. Biden, Zlochevsky, and Pozharski stepped away to take make the call."

A few days after that meeting, Joe Biden visited Ukraine as vice president and began an effort to force Ukraine's president to fire Shokin, eventually threatening to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees if the termination did not happen. Biden's defenders have long maintained the firing was not related to Burisma and was a result of U.S. policy because the Obama administration felt Shokin was corrupt.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene echoed JTN's source, telling the Daily Caller: "The biggest significant thing that has come out so far is that we now have proof that Joe Biden lied. He’s been telling everyone for years now that he knows nothing about Hunter Biden’s business deals, that he’s never talked to his son about it. Well, this morning Devon Archer confirmed for all of us that that is not true."

"He told us in his transcribed interview that he heard Hunter Biden speak to Joe Biden more than 20 times about their business deals. Not about anything else, but about the business deals," she added.
Meanwhile, trust fund Democrat Dan Goldman (Schiff Jr.) continues to run cover...


And Democrats are of course starting to cry foul at the rules they themselves made during the Trump years...

Gee Faun, I don't conflate troll posts with real ones and then have my TDS kick in like you.

Now this is no false dichotomy: You're either being disingenuous or are an oblivious moron.

My opinion is it's the former, but I could be wrong!

There was nothing to conflate. You admit you post shit for the sake of a joke. Makes it reasonable to assume you do the same in other posts.

 

[The Duke]

A politician lied! I can't believe it!

You should probably stop assuming anything, because you're a fucking idiot.

 

[Godboy]

No link of Joe Biden to foreign business deals.
Hunter was selling the illusion of access to VP Biden.
Dare I say……..Nothing burger

Devon Archer told the House Oversight Committee on Monday that his former business partner, Hunter Biden, was selling the “illusion” of access to his father, according to a source familiar with the closed-door interview, the latest development in the Republican-led congressional investigations into the president’s son.

The source also reiterated that Archer provided no evidence connecting President Joe Biden to any of his son’s foreign business dealings.

Why would corrupt people around the world pay MILIONS and MILLIONS of dollars for an "illusion"? Explain this unbelievable theory.

 

[Godboy]

Goldman said Archer told the panel that Hunter Biden did put his father on speaker phone in the presence of business partners, but that business was never discussed.

If youre pinning your hopes on the honesty of Dan fucking Goldman, you are destined for extreme dissappointment.

 

[Godboy]

Actually everyone in the GOP is and these MAGATS MUST believe that everyone else is as corrupt at the criminals to which they bow.

Republicans arent the ones taking bribes from corrupt nations.

 

[Care4all]

That's the Biden story. You are a good little Bidenista. In the real world.....

"Newly obtained memos have revealed that Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin had been receiving positive feedback on his anti-corruption plan from the US State Department, despite House Democrats alleging that Shokin had been fired in March of 2016 because State officials were displeased with his anti-corruption efforts.
State Department memos contradict Democrats’ Ukraine impeachment narrative"

"Secretary Kerry asked me to reply on his behalf" to let Shokin know "he enjoyed the full support of the United States as he set out to fight endemic corruption in the former Soviet republic,"

Shokin was the NEW general prosecutor, who replaced the previous corrupt general prosecutor, who replaced the corrupt general prosecutor before him.

Shokin was in the job a month or two at most and this was a letter from our U.S. State dept welcoming him....

we were hopeful that third times a charm, and Ukraine would finally get their shit together in their prosecutor dept of justice.....

But no such luck! Shokin was as corrupt as the rest of them in the position before him, and had a blind eye to corruption and a pocket full of gifts as well. Not one corrupt oligarch, business, or politician were prosecuted by his office when he served as head.

What's this then?



Yeah, he was corrupt. Most things in Russia and Ukraine are like that.

It'd be nice if we didn't let the US get to that point.

 

[The Duke]

Okay, so correct me if I'm wrong..

What I see here is a corrupt Ukraine prosecutor shaking down Burisma for kickbacks, but Hunter Biden is involved with Burisma

and calls on his dad to get rid of this corrupt Ukraine prosecutor.

Is that right?

 

[Care4all]

Republicans arent the ones taking bribes from corrupt nations.

Your joking right? Trump took bribes his entire term.

Saudi buying blocks of hotel rooms in Trump hotels, with no one actually using the hotel rooms....what was that, if not a bribe?

trump bashing Quatar, an ally helping us, until they loaned Jarrod a half a billion dollars to bail him out of his 666 5th Avenue property mortgage loan due.....that he could not pay, and no banks stateside would loan him the money or refinance the property....

Jarod $2 billion advance for a new company he formed in a business jarod had never done....in return for getting the Saudi Prince off the hook for murdering Khashoggi....

 

[Hollie]

They seem to skip over that awkward detail.

Not relevant to the Biden Stasi trying to jail Archer two days before testimony.

They seem to skip over that detail.

 

[Faun]

You should probably stop assuming anything, because you're a fucking idiot.

Nope, and nope. Better luck next time.

 

[Hollie]

Archer was convicted over a conspiracy to defraud a Native American tribe in 2018. However, his one-year sentence, handed down in February 2022, has been repeatedly postponed amid appeals and over delays.

You can copy and paste from wiki. How impressive,

You failed to show how that is relevant.

A bribe implies trading policy for money. None of your examples meet that definition. Im also highly skeptical of the accuracy of your claims.

 

[Care4all]

That was 2014. Shokin replaced that prosecutor general in 2015.

Seriously? Please, spare me from your ridiculousness Godboy!!!

 

[The Duke]

So maybe he wasn't corrupt and looking for kickbacks or else? In Ukraine? Or not.

Yes, Shokin was corrupt in 2014. Even then, he was protecting Zlochevsky.

You dumbass! Care4all just stated Shokin wasn't even appointed until 2015, and I trust what she posted 1000%

more than your linkless garbage. Way to dispute facts, dude!

And she was right, and you're wrong! It's a shocka I tell ya!

"KYIV -- When Viktor Shokin was fired as Ukraine's prosecutor-general in March 2016, after less than 14 months in the post,"

Why Was Ukraine's Top Prosecutor Fired? The Issue At The Heart Of The Dispute Gripping Washington

U.S. President Donald Trump asserts that Joe Biden pushed for the ouster of Ukraine’s chief prosecutor to quash a probe into a Burisma, a gas company with Biden's son on its board. Officials and anti-corruption activists in Kyiv say Prosecutor-General Viktor Shokin had shelved the case long...
