We have all kinds of stories popping off about the Devon Archer testimony before the House Oversight Committee.

How bad was it? You knew it was bad when Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) was the first one out the door commenting on the matter, trying to downplay what Archer was saying, but in the process, revealing that Archer was delivering a body blow to the Bidens’ narrative. Goldman revealed that Archer did confirm the story about Joe Biden being on phone calls into business meetings approximately 20 times. Goldman also tripped all over himself, claiming that Joe Biden never said he hadn’t talked to any of Hunter Biden’s business associates. Goldman claimed that Joe Biden said he had “nothing to do” with Hunter Biden’s business dealings. Well, that’s wrong, too, based on the evidence we have from emails, photos, and witnesses, including Archer. As my colleague Jennifer Van Laar observed, the whole point of putting the elder Biden on the phone was to give weight to Hunter’s influence, to show he could get Joe at the drop of a hat. Doubtless, there’s more that Goldman doesn’t want to talk about that is going to come out when the transcript comes out.

Goldman also slung some utter nonsense about the Shokin firing being bad for Burisma, which is nonsensical since, as we’ve noted, Viktor Shokin, the Prosecutor General, was investigating Mykola Zlochevsky, the Burisma head. Moreover, Burisma executives and Hunter Biden were talking about trying to get cases against them shut down. Goldman then tried to tug at the heartstrings by claiming the calls between Joe and Hunter were in the wake of Beau Biden dying. Come on, man! That’s how you know they’re getting desperate, as all the pieces of the puzzle are now coming out.

That wasn’t going over well, and George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley pointed out how this exposed that Joe Biden had “lied for years,” and now Congress needs to get to the question of “why did he lie?” He also noted the Devon Archer testimony that they sold “access” as their “brand.” Fox’s Chad Pergram also laid out some of the examples given by Archer of the sale of the “brand.”

Then when Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) spoke, you probably got a clearer picture of what had been revealed, away from the downplaying of Goldman. Watch:

He said he believed after Archer’s testimony that Joe Biden was “compromised.”

He took on what Goldman said about the calls, and he said that Goldman forgot to say that Archer said this was an indication of “who the Big Guy is,” referencing the nickname for Joe Biden and his importance in the equation of the business. He said Archer confirmed the “Big Guy” term (we’ve speculated on that, and it now appears to have been confirmed). Biggs said that Hunter Biden always talked about needing to talk to “my guy” — another reference to Joe Biden. If he’s just calling in about the weather or Beau, there’s no reason to use those terms. Those terms have meaning in the context of the deals that the Bidens were trying to float. We’ve written about the Joe Biden being identified as the “Big Guy” in the past by others, including Tony Bobulinski.

Fox then noted that Archer said that then-Vice President Joe Biden brought the most value to the brand. Now, Archer stated that Burisma would have gone under if it were not for, quote, “the brand.”

That pretty much says it all right there.
