Devon Archer to Testify on at Least Two Dozen Times Joe Biden Was on Business Meeting Calls With Hunter

Joe Biden has been saying for years that he never spoke to his son about his foreign business dealings.

Yet Devon Archer, one of Hunter’s closest business associates, is expected to testify before the House Oversight Committee this week and blow that story out of the water. I’ve written before how Archer likely had a lot to say because he was so intimately involved. According to the NY Post, Archer is now expected to testify that Hunter put his father, then the Vice President, on the phone during meetings with business associates at least two dozen times. That’s going to make things more difficult for Joe Biden.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) said, “We are looking forward very much to hearing from Devon Archer about all the times he has witnessed Joe Biden meeting with Hunter Biden’s overseas business partners when he was vice president, including on speakerphone.”

One of those meetings was in Dubai on Friday, Dec. 4, 2015, at the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach where Archer went with Hunter to have a drink with one of Hunter’s friends.

Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi called, saying that the owner Mykola Zlochevsky needed to speak to Hunter urgently.

Soon afterward, the two Ukrainians joined Hunter and Archer at the Four Seasons bar and Pozharskyi asked Hunter: “Can you ring your dad?” At the time it was early afternoon, Friday, in Washington, DC.

Hunter then called his father, put him on speaker, placed the phone on the table, and introduced the Ukrainians to Joe Biden by name as “Nikolai and Vadym.”

He also said words to the effect that the Burisma bigwigs “need our support.”

VP Biden greeted the Ukrainians but spoke only in vague pleasantries during the short call, and in other such interactions with Hunter’s overseas business partners, Archer is expected to testify.

So why were they trying to speak to Joe so urgently? And what “support” did they want from Joe? Archer is going to be asked that, and I’m thinking Joe Biden isn’t going to like this line of questioning.

The timing was critical. I’m sure it was just a coincidence that three days later, then-VP Biden was supposed to fly to Kyiv to address the Ukrainian Parliament on Dec. 9 to talk about corruption.

Contrary to what Democrats claim, there were movements/investigations going on against Burisma. That’s why on November 2, 2015, there was the Vadym Pozharskyi email about trying to close down the investigations of Burisma.

On Sept. 24, 2015, US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt had given a speech about corruption in Odessa, targeting Zlochevsky by name and the Prosecutor General was targeting Burisma.

By then, Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin was investigating Burisma for corruption and, within two months, on Feb. 2, 2016, would seize four houses in Kyiv, two plots of land and a Rolls Royce belonging to Zlochevsky, who was living in exile in Dubai.

A month later, Shokin was fired, after Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in US aid to Ukraine.

“I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,” Biden would brag to the Council on Foreign Relations. “Well, son of a bitch. He got fired.”

We’ve written about that raid on Zlochevsky before. It was publicly announced in the Kyiv Post on February 4, the same day that Hunter Biden coincidentally began following then-Biden adviser, now Secretary of State Antony Blinken, on Twitter.

This now puts Biden on the call with the Ukrainians before that December trip, and he’s going to have a hard time trying to explain why it was so urgent for them to talk to him and what “support” they needed in the light of what followed.

While that certainly seems like a significant call to get to the bottom of, there were also at least 23 more times where Hunter would put Joe on the phone to help his business cause, Archer will say.

He’s also expected to speak about the two dinners Hunter organized for his VP father to meet business partners from Ukraine, Russia, and Kazakhstan at the Café Milano, one in April 2015 and another in early 2016. There are pictures of that meeting, and Pozharskyi confirmed Joe’s presence in an email, thanking Hunter for getting to meet his father.

This kind of involvement from Joe Biden has also been confirmed by Tony Bobulinksi, another former business partner and CEO of one of the Biden joint ventures with a CCP-connected company.

Another former business partner, Tony Bobulinski, recalls Hunter offering to get his father on the phone during a meeting by the pool at the Chateau Marmont in LA.

“I am also aware of other Biden family business associates confirming that Joe would take phone calls from Hunter in the middle of business meetings and would weigh in via speakerphone,” says Bobulinski.

“Sitting with Hunter at Chateau Marmont before I first met Joe Biden on May 2, 2017, Hunter was adamant that his father takes his calls at any time, no matter what his lawyers say or with gatekeepers like Kate Bedingfield [former Biden spokesperson] playing interference.

“The American people don’t fully appreciate yet the key role Joe Biden played in the Biden family global influence peddling . . . I would equate it to a chairman’s role in a traditional business structure.”

Joe Biden met with Bobulinski at least twice when they were engaging him to be the CEO of Sinohawk. Bobulinski was the guy who laid out the scheme for the venture, including “10 (percent) held by H for the big guy.” The “big guy,” according to Bobulinksi, was Joe Biden.

Bobulinski met with Joe twice in LA in 2017, to be vetted as CEO of a joint venture Hunter and his uncle Jim Biden were planning with Chinese energy company CEFC, which would end up netting them millions of dollars for no discernible product or service.

Both meetings at the Beverly Hilton were in May 2017, four months after Joe left office as VP.

In about one-quarter of the two dozen meetings that Archer knows of, Hunter introduced his father to the foreign business associates. So sometimes Joe was a part of the equation, and he would know it. On other occasions, Hunter didn’t necessarily introduce him to associates, but Hunter would talk to him without acknowledging that other people were listening in,

According to the Post, Archer’s family has been getting death threats and warned told to keep his “mouth shut.” Sounds like a Mafia-like move to try to shut him up. But it’s a little too late, and now, this week, he’s going to spill the goods in what should be some epic testimony.
