On Monday longtime Biden business partner Devon Archer testified in front of the House Oversight Committee and detailed how Joe Biden's abuse of soft power made his family rich during his time as vice president.
The transcript of Archer's closed door testimony was released Thursday morning by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and reveals how Joe and Hunter worked together to use the Biden family brand to land loads of foreign cash.
"My only thought is that I think Burisma would have gone out of business if it didn't have the [Joe Biden] brand attached to it," Archer told lawmakers.
Hunter Biden was paid $80,000 per month to sit on the Burisma board, a notoriously corrupt Ukrainian company, despite having no experience in natural gas or business.
Today, I released the transcript from Devon Archer's @GOPoversight transcribed interview.
Archer confirmed then-VP Biden was "the brand."
Joe Biden joined Hunter Biden and his business associates for dinners or by phone over 20 times.

And despite Joe Biden's claims he never spoke with Hunter Biden's business partners, met with them or knew what kind of things they were doing, Archer reconfirmed the former vice president attended dinner with those exact people. More specifically, foreigners who wired money to Hunter Biden's firm, which he shared with Archer, Rosemont Seneca Thorton. From the transcript:
Majority Counsel: And I want to talk about the value. Going back to this, it would be, spring of 2014 Cafe Milano dinner ‑‑
Mr. Archer: Uh‑huh. The spring of '14, yeah, the first one.
Majority Counsel: And since we talked about it before the break, if you could just recap. Can you just say again who was there?
Mr. Archer: Sure. Kenes Rakishev, Karim Massimov, Yelena Baturina, possibly Yury, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, possibly Eric Schwerin.
Majority Counsel: The duration of time that Joe Biden stayed there you said you couldn't recall. But do you recall whether he had dinner or whether ‑‑
Mr. Archer: He had dinner, yeah. I recall that he had dinner. It was a regular ‑‑ not a long dinner, but dinner.
Majority Counsel: And so this dinner takes place in spring of 2014, approximately. But then do you recall getting a wire on February 14th of 2014 from Yelena Baturina for $3.5 million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton?
Mr. Archer: To Rosemont Seneca Thornton?

Mr. Archer: To Rosemont Seneca Thornton?
Majority Counsel: Yes.
Majority Counsel: There's a wire, an incoming wire, to the Rosemont Seneca Bohai account for April 22nd of 2014 for $142,300. Soon thereafter, there's an outgoing wire, which appears to be the next day, to a beneficiary of Schneider Nelson Motor for this exact same amount. What was ‑‑ first off, our understanding is that Novitas Holdings, PTE Ltd. is associated Kenes Rakishev.
Mr. Archer: That's my understanding.
Majority Counsel: Why did Rosemont Seneca Bohai receive this $142,000 payment from Rakishev?
Mr. Archer: It was for a car.
Majority Counsel: For whose car?
Mr. Archer: For Hunter's car.
Since Archer's testimony Monday, President Biden has been unavailable to answer questions while he sunbathes on the beach in Delaware.

Much different from what Rep Dan Goldman said. That's the problem with closed door hearings: certain people get to interpret what was said.
Joe wasn't selling any illusions. He was selling influence.

'How's the fishing?' Devon Archer testifies Joe Biden never talked business when put on phone
Devon Archer testified having no knowledge President Joe Biden ever altered policy to benefit Hunter Biden's business, according to his transcript.
WASHINGTON − A former business partner of Hunter Biden told the House Oversight Committee this week that Joe Biden never talked business when his son put the then-vice president on the phone with Hunter and other associates , according to a transcript of the testimony released Thursday.
The testimony of Devon Archer, who worked with Hunter Biden at the Ukrainian energy firm Bursima, undercut the build-up from the committee's chairman, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., who said this week Archer's testimony made Republicans' bribery allegations against Joe Biden "more credible."
"I think you have to understand that there was no business conversation about a cap table or a fee or anything like that," Archer said to the committee. "It was, you know, just general niceties and, you know, conversation in general about the geography, about the weather, whatever it may be."
The Republican-led House Oversight Committee released the full transcript of Archer's five-hour, closed-door testimony that took place Monday as it pursues a wide-ranging investigation into the business dealings of Hunter Biden with still-unsupported claims that Joe Biden was part of a larger bribery conspiracy.
How is living your life with your lips pressed so hard against Brandon's ass that you will believe anything Democrats say? Is it hard to breath?
Brandon stated repeatedly he never talked to Hunter about his business dealings. Bullshit, proven repeatedly wrong. He met with Hunter's business associates and CEO's of companies Hunter worked for countless times. It was not just the 20 conference calls.
Brandon stated repeatedly he never worked with Hunter. Bullshit, set up 20 LLC's to illegally funnel money to the Brandon family- Also received money. 10% to the "big guy" (not fucking Hunter no matter how degenerate Democrats want to spin it); countless home improvements, cell phone charges, and property loans paid for by Hunter for Brandon.
Then there is this.
Well "son of a bitch" Brandon is guilty of doing everything that Trump is being accused of.
Guess it will take another Chinese spy balloon being allowed to "drift aimlessly" across US military installations for it to sink in that Brandon has sold this country out for personal profit.
