Devon Archer has had quite the week already, and it’s only Tuesday (technically now Wednesday)! Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner from Rosemont Seneca was set to appear before a House panel led by James Comer on Monday, but Archer’s interesting week got off to an early start over the weekend when the DoJ filed a letter requesting Archer get a date for serving his upcoming prison sentence. After enormous pushback, the agency quickly had to “clarify” that the letter OF COURSE meant this process should occur AFTER Archer’s testimony. (No word on why these people just decided to file the letter on a Saturday……)
So after putting off testimony multiple times, Archer finally sat down with House leaders (behind closed doors) and testified about his involvement with Hunter Biden, including times in which Hunter would call up Joe and put him on speakerphone.
With Hunter’s business partners.
This has obviously put Biden and the Democrats into quite the precarious position, because Biden has spent years saying that he never talked to Hunter about his business dealings and never met Hunter’s business partners. They’ve decided to run with “they just talked about the weather and stuff”, contending that Hunter was selling the ILLUSION of access for millions of dollars, not ACTUAL access. (My, my, how the stories change!)
This is perhaps the most offensive line ever taken by a politician. Sure, Hunter was raking in cash from a company that Biden killed an investigation into. Sure, there’s video of Biden bragging about it. But that doesn’t mean that Biden was selling access to his father!
Don’t you see? As the sitting Vice President, it would just be RUDE to not say hello to the people your crackhead son was having dinner with, especially when those people just happened to be from the country you’re “point man” on! It’s just the ILLUSION of access!
And you know MSNBC was taking that talking point and running straight ahead with it. And if Joe didn’t catch on to what Hunter was up to, well, that’s understandable because Joe’s son Beau was battling cancer:
See? Don’t worry, Eugene Robinson is here to tell you that there’s no evidence that Hunter did anything illegal or that Joe profited from it. Well, as long as you ignore the trove of emails from Hunter outlining his illegal activity. And the interview of Tony Bobulinski from 2020. And the text messages from Hunter to his family complaining about his dad taking half his salary. Oh, and the WhatsApp messages about how Hunter is sitting with his father waiting for the Chinese to fulfill their end of some shady deal.
No, those people were just buying the ILLUSION of access. They paid Hunter millions of dollars and Hunter did nothing at all for them. Obviously they were disappointed he wasn’t actually doing anything for them, but they continued to pay him millions more dollars — because that’s totally how these people work!
But this case isn’t really that complicated — what does Hunter Biden or any of the other Biden clan have to offer IF NOT access to Joe? What is Jim Biden doing to earn HIS 10%?
I’ve not run an international influence peddling scheme before, but I’m pretty sure “If you have a problem, you call me and I call and the Vice President” is basically the entire operation. And they won’t be talking about the weather.
Of course, while Democrats are pretending nothing at all is going on, Republicans are wringing their hands and considering the possibility of creating a committee to perhaps look into the chance of writing a semi-sternly worded letter asking the president to please knock it off.
Why do we see such reluctance to dive into this scandal? Because the Bidens are hardly the only “Congressional family” that’s getting rich peddling their influence around the globe. After all, Christopher Heinz — John Kerry’s stepson — helped FOUND Rosemont Seneca Partners in 2009. With so much cash flowing out of the United States and into foreign nations — often without any oversight — it’s simple to redirect a little of that firehose of cash in your direction. Before you know it, even a humble barista can be rolling in the dough.
But that money can’t really be EXPLAINED — so now when they’re busted they pretend it’s just for the ILLUSION of access. “Totally not illegal!”
But America can see through this farce. This news is so bad that I expect Trump to be indicted any day now.
(I wrote that in the first draft of this article……..then this happened:)
What a shocker! It seems like every single time there’s trouble for the Biden administration, they “reveal” more charges against Trump. Of course, this has been a long (and expected) path, but the actual indictment is even more laughable than expected. The basis of the case is that Trump KNOWINGLY lied about the election — even though that’s completely legal speech.
Trying to prove Trump KNOWS that Biden won the election cleanly is an impossible task — Democrats certainly didn’t do anything to reassure the public that the 2020 election was free and fair. After spending four years saying the 2016 election was stolen, and after introducing GIANT integrity holes into the election process in 2020, suddenly we’re going to throw you in jail if you say that an was stolen? Has somebody let Hillary know?
I don’t want to get hyperbolic here, but this is some serious late-stage government shit going on. Arresting and censoring your political opponents is what they do in Ukraine, it’s not what we do here. Sadly, Democrats only seem interested in jamming down the accelerator as we head toward the cliff.

While driving home from work, I had an idea for a protest.
Thousands of Americans gathered, each in handcuffs. With tape over their mouths. Wearing T-shirts that say:
I have committed a thought crime.
I have committed a speech crime.
No sound, no signs, just silent people protesting.
