Devon Archer has had to feel like the unluckiest man in DC the last few years. While Hunter Biden raked in millions from his dubious overseas business dealings, lied on a federal gun form, and then made even more money off his father’s name with “art” sales and a book deal, his business associate Archer was relentlessly pursued by the DOJ.
In September, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to charges of unpaid taxes and tax evasion, putting him at risk of spending up to 17 years in a federal prison. That came after a jury found him guilty of separate gun charges in June.
For this, his father Joe rewarded him with an unconditional pardon for any crimes he might have committed going back to 2014. Many feel it was one of the most corrupt acts by a president in our history.
Hunter’s business partner Devon Archer meanwhile, saw no leniency from Joe Biden or his weaponized DOJ and was convicted in 2018 for fraud involving a “tribal bonds” operation. Since then, he says he’s been persecuted by the “Obama-Biden legal apparatus” even as he sought to expose the corruption at the White House.
According to a new report, Donald Trump is about to show him some mercy.
Hunter Biden’s beleaguered former business partner, Devon Archer, will receive a full and unconditional pardon, President Trump revealed exclusively to the New York Post.
The president promised Archer the pardon when they met at the NCAA wrestling championships in Philadelphia Saturday night, an encounter arranged by another former Hunter Biden associate-turned-whistleblower, Tony Bobulinski.

Trump told the New York Post that Archer was made into a sacrificial lamb because he tried to expose the Biden Crime Family:
“He’s getting a full pardon,” Trump told me Sunday. “He was screwed by the Bidens. They destroyed him like they tried to destroy a lot of people.
“A full pardon,” Trump repeated, describing Archer as an “anti-Biden person” because of his pivotal role in exposing Biden corruption.
Archer was understandably grateful for the news, but he also blasted Biden Inc. for their deep-seated corruption:
“I want to extend my deepest thanks to President Trump,” Archer said Sunday. “I am grateful to the president for recognizing that I was the victim of a convoluted lawfare effort intended to destroy and silence me.
“Like so many people, my life was devastated by the Biden family’s selfish disregard for the truth and for the peace of mind and happiness of others. The Bidens talk about justice, but they don’t mean it,” he said. “I am grateful that the American people are now well aware of this reality.”
Archer is obviously no saint, and anyone who went into business with Hunter has only themselves to blame for that decision. That being said, the two-tiered system of justice seemed to be on full display in this matter: the former First Son and his family arguably committed far worse crimes and yet suffered few consequences.
Now it’s Trump who has the power of the pardon, and he’s using it.
