Daily Broadside | On Brand: Devon Archer Testifies That Joe Biden Was On 20+ ‘Business Calls’

He also testified that Burisma wanted Hunter Biden on their board because Biden’s “brand” would help them be successful.

Former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer told Congress Monday that Hunter referred to President Biden as “my guy” while connecting his dad to foreign associates nearly two dozen times — as Republicans move closer to starting an impeachment inquiry.

Archer said during a four-hour House Oversight Committee interview that Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings paid Hunter up to $1 million per year to serve on its board because of his family’s “brand.”

Archer met with then-Vice President Joe Biden in April 2014, within days of joining Burisma’s board alongside Hunter, and told lawmakers that “Burisma would have gone out of business if ‘the brand’ had not been attached to it,” according to a readout from panel Republicans.

You know what a “brand” is? Most people think of it as a logo, but a brand encompasses the entire experience that a consumer has with a company or a product or, in some cases, a person. It’s essentially the personality of the product or business with a distinct identity and its own unique attributes, all from the consumer’s perspective.

Now, when it comes to Joe Biden, I can’t imagine that’s the definition of “brand” they’re using. If that were the definition, it wouldn’t be a benefit to have him associated with a company like Burisma.

Joe Biden’s “brand” is smarmy moron and stair-tripping fool. Or in the words of B. Hussein Obama, “don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up.” That’s Biden’s brand.

What the founder of Burisma was after wasn’t so much brand, but name recognition and power. If the vice-president of the United States, Joe Biden, was associated with Burisma, it would lend an air of credibility (and intimidation) that might advance their business. They could boast that they had a Biden on board.

Hunter Biden’s business partner Devon Archer told Congress in bombshell testimony the ‘Biden brand’ helped keep Ukrainian firm Burisma from going bankrupt and revealed Joe was on the phone or present in-person at least 20 times while his son who called him ‘my guy’ was talking with foreign associates.

Republicans claim Archer’s testimony added to mounting evidence that the then-Vice President was involved in Hunter’s overseas deals that raked in millions from nations including China and Romania. Democrats claimed the phone calls were innocent and did not involve business.  

Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., confirmed Archer told the House Oversight Committee that Joe had been on speakerphone multiple times while his son was talking with business partners – but insisted they were talking about ‘niceties’ like talking about ‘the weather, “what’s going on?”‘

Yeah, see, Hunter just included his dad — the “big guy” — on his business calls just to say “Hi.”

These people are BIG FAT HAIRY LIARS.

Goldman also contended that Joe Biden’s interactions with his son’s partners were innocent.

“He described what the weather was,” Goldman said of the president’s role in foreign business relationships. “It’s kind of a preposterous premise to think that a father should not say hello to people that the son is at dinner with, and that’s literally all the evidence is.”

But former FBI official Chris Swecker, who led the bureau’s criminal investigations division from 2004 to 2006, said that things didn’t look good for President Biden, noting the many alleged speakerphone calls.

“As head of the criminal division, we saw this quite a bit in bribery cases, it’s called stream of services,” Swecker told Fox News as Archer left Capitol Hill.

“You sell access or something of value and you get something back in return, but it’s not an express quid pro quo. It’s just an understanding, but if you can match up the services within a reasonable period of time — with the thing of benefit, in this case, $10 million, or whatever it is — then you then you have bribery,” Swecker said.

It’s about time that the Biden’s were scrutinized over their malfeasance. If all goes well, their will be an impeachment inquiry. Of course, that leaves us with the prospect of that cackling nightmare, Kamala Harris.

The Marxist-infused America haters have really put us in a great position to thrive as a nation, haven’t they?

Norms: restored.

Daily Broadside | A Confidential Source Says the Bidens Were Bribed to Protect Burisma

I feel like a truant high schooler when I miss more than a day of posting, but the truth is that my life is just packed this summer with all kinds of projects and a wedding in the fall. I really want the Daily Broadside to live up to its name, so I’ll keep pushing to figure out how to do better.

Thanks to those of you commenting, and hello to some new suscribers. Glad to have you.

Did you see that Sen. Chuck Grassley released a document today in which a confidential human source (CHS) says that the Ukrainian oligarch who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden, was “coerced” into sending them money?

Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky, the Ukrainian oligarch who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden, was “coerced” into sending them money, according to an FBI FD-1023 form released Thursday by Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley.

Zlochevsky and the confidential human source (CHS) allegedly participated in a phone call after the 2016 presidential election, in which Zlochevsky said he was “pushed to pay” the Bidens and did not want to send the money, according to the form.

“CHS asked Zlochevsky whether he was concerned about Burisma’s involvement with the Bidens. Zlochevsky stated he didn’t want to pay the Bidens and he was ‘pushed to pay’ them,” the FD-1023 form reads.

“(CHS explained the Russian term Zlochevsky used to explain the payments was ‘poluchili’ (transliterated by the CHS), which literally translates to ‘got it’ or ‘received it,’ but is also used in Russian-criminal-slang for being ‘forced or coerced to pay’,” the form continues.

“CHS then stated, ‘l hope you have some back-up (proof) for your words (namely, that Zlochevsky was ‘forced’ to pay the Bidens). Zlochevsky replied he has many text messages and ‘recordings’ that show that he was coerced to make such payments,” the form adds.

“Zlochevsky asked whether it would make any (legal) difference whether he voluntarily made such payments, or if he was ‘forced’ to make them,” the form continues.

The Ukrainian oligarch said he had a total of “17 recordings” involving the Bidens including two featuring Joe Biden, according to the form. The other 15 recordings allegedly only feature Hunter Biden, who served on Burisma’s board beginning in April 2014 until he left the position in 2019.

The FBI sat on this information to protect “the Big Guy.” Replace the name “Biden” with “Trump” and the ink wouldn’t even be dry on the leak to the press before the articles of impeachment were drafted. Yet this scummy agency and Merrick Garland’s DOJ do NOTHING about this clear threat to national security.

Congress and Granny Box Wine impeached Trump twice with little more than hearsay, yet the evidence is overwhelming that the Biden family has been involved in criminal, if not treasonous, activity to enrich themselves and to hell with what it means to the country.

CHS was made aware of Hunter Biden’s position on the Burisma board of directors during the initial meeting, where he was told Hunter Biden was hired to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems,” while Joe Biden was serving as vice president, according to the FBI form. Burisma wanted additional assistance with the U.S. acquisition because they did not believe Hunter Biden was smart, the FBI form continues.

But Joe considers Hunter the smartest guy he knows.

At the Austria meeting, the CHS allegedly told Burisma it would be difficult for the IPO to take place while then-Ukrainian Prosecutor General (PGO) Viktor Shokin was investigating the firm. Zlochevsky told the source, “Hunter will take care of all of those issues through his dad,” according to the FBI form.

Oh. So a protection racket. But the Resident swears he never discussed business dealings with his son backed by his word as a Biden.

How much money did the Ukrainian pay the Bidens?

After an investigation of Burisma by Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin was disclosed in 2016, the source told Mykola Zlochevsky, owner of Burisma, that the disclosure would have a negative effect on the prospective initial public offering. Mr. Zlochevsky replied that Mr. Hunter Biden “will take care of all of those issues through his dad,” according to the document.

Mr. Zlochevsky was also cited as saying that it cost $5 million to pay one Biden and $5 million to pay another Biden.

The source replied that payments to the Bidens would complicate matters and that the Bidens didn’t have experience with the oil and gas sector, according to the document. Mr. Zlochevsky said that despite his low opinion of Mr. Hunter Biden’s intelligence, Mr. Zlochevsky needed to keep him on the board “so everything will be okay.” He also said both Bidens had told him that Mr. Hunter Biden needed to remain on the board.

At about the same time, Mr. Joe Biden, U.S. vice president at the time, was pressuring Ukrainian officials to fire Mr. Shokin.

“‘We’re leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor’s not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Mr. Joe Biden said at a public event about the interaction, referring to a $1 billion loan guarantee he threatened to withhold. “Well, son of a [expletive]. He got fired.”

Mr. Shokin has said that the threat was cited when he was ousted. He said in a sworn statement that then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko asked him to resign because of “pressure from the U.S. presidential administration, in particular from Joe Biden.”

The FBI source told the bureau that he gleaned from the conversation that payments had already been made to the Bidens, presumably to deal with Mr. Shokin.

The Bidens are a corrupt, malicious, self-gratifying crime family. While they use their positions of power and proximity to power to enrich themselves and lie about everything to maintain their grift, they destroy the country they swore to serve. Well, only Brandon swore, but he and his family are suckling at the teats of the great American sow.

If our government now protects the corrupt and prosecutes the innocent, looking for a crime that fits the man, we no longer have a “democracy” or a “republic.” We have an unaccountable, lawless criminal enterprise that is hellbent on keeping its power and protecting itself.

The colonies of the 1700s rebelled over much less.

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | Our Media Is an Enemy of the People

Daily Verse | Job 9:15
“Though I were innocent, I could not answer him; I could only plead with my Judge for mercy.”

Happy Friday, Broadsiders — we’re heading into Memorial Day weekend. I hope you enjoy your Monday off here in the U.S. I’m doubling my weekend by taking today off, too.

Does anybody remember Hunter Biden’s laptop? The laptop that he dropped off at a Delaware repair shop and abandoned? This one:

You could be forgiven for forgetting it, since it was memory holed by the oligarchy running the country formerly known as the United States of America. The Biden laptop with all of the incriminating information it contained about his and his father’s selling their political connections to the Ukrainians and Chinese were censored and blacklisted by social media including Twitter and Facebook in the run up to the 2020 presidential election.

Well, guess what? JOE BIDEN IS A LIAR. Just like we knew he was.

Joe Biden met with Ukrainian, Russian and Kazakhstani business associates of his son’s at a dinner in Washington, DC, while he was vice president, records on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop show.

The dinner, on April 16, 2015, was held in the private “Garden Room” at Café Milano, a Georgetown institution whose catchphrase is: “Where the world’s most powerful people go.”

The guest list included a diverse number of influential and connected individuals. It included Russian billionaire Yelena Baturina and her husband, deceased former Moscow mayor Yury Luzhkov. In 2014 Baturina wired $3.5 million to an investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden and Devon Archer. The list also included a Mexican ambassador, a former adviser to Secretary of State John Kerry, three officials from Kazakhstan, Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi and representatives of World Food Program USA.

The reps from the World Food Program USA were a ruse to obfuscate the true purpose of the dinner — to introduce Biden senior to his business associates.

Hunter told guests before the dinner that his father would be attending. In one email, he appears to use his role on the board of World Food Program USA as a cover story for the evening’s true purpose of introducing his father to his business associates.

“Ok – the reason for the dinner is ostensibly to discuss food security,” writes Hunter on March 26 to Michael Karloutsos, son of the then-head of the Greek Orthodox Church.

“Dad will be there but keep that between us for now. Thanks.”

Karloutsos replies: “Everything is between us. All good‎! … I know you mentioned your dad would probably join the dinner as well.”

On April 17, 2015—the next day—Vadym Pozharskyi emailed Hunter, thanking him for introducing him to VP Biden.

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together,” Pozharskyi wrote on April 17, 2015. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure.”

At the time, Burisma was paying Hunter $83,333 a month to sit on its board.

To say that the smoking gun emails raise serious questions about “what Joe Biden, who has claimed ignorance of his son’s activities, knew about Hunter’s dealings with foreign businesses and government officials,” is an understatement.

If this were Trump instead of Biden, the Left would be loudly demanding impeachment. But what do we get from Washington D.C., the White House, or the U.S. media?

Crickets.

The Leftist media conspired to keep that information away from you and me because it threatened their plans to defeat Orange Man Bad and install the corrupt idiot currently in the White House. The same media that pushed the fake Russia! Russia! Russia! collusion for four years and shrieked hysterically at everything Trump did or said kept hidden from the public vital information shining a light on the snakes Dementia Joe and his son are.

That’s the true collusion that threatens our republic.

Have a good weekend.
